GOTAMI CONSTRUCTION MOVES INDOORSGOTAMI CONSTRUCTION MOVES INDOORSBack to 2008 GalleryThe timing couldn’t be more perfect. As the temperatures falls below zero, Thomas’ crew finishes the outside just in time. The roofers astound us by getting the roofing on in not quite 3 days, and John finishes some of the last bit of drainage work before the deep freeze. The drywall crew is almost done hanging the sheetrock. The mudding, taping and texturing will begin this week. The work will continue through the winter months as the Abbey community takes turns offering service to keep things running smoothly. Gotami House is looking like a home more every day! ![]() The fiber/cement siding is complete and looks fabulous with the dark brown trim.

![]() With the sheet rock hung, the dark rooms and hallways begin to reflect the sun. Once the drywall is hung the tapers will arrive and begin mudding and texturing.
![]() Considering how big the building is, the Abbey residents have managed to keep the construction waste to a minimum. Much of the wood scraps have been cut for kindling or stored for use on the retreat cabin. Metal, plastic, and cardboard are recycled also.
![]() Quiet and unassuming, Dave takes care of all the things most folks can miss and has a great talent (and patience) for detail. ![]() Top Dog Roofing did a quick but thorough job on the roofing. We have been fortunate to have many good subcontractors. They had the roof done in 3 days even after a heavy frost. Thank you guys! Photo Gallery |
