Past Projects (Things we have done!)
2007 Improvements
Goat Lodge
There is a new wood door on the goat lodge to help keep out the draft. As well as two new windows that had been donated
to the land by Gypsy. These new windows replace the old plastic ones that were used to help keep out the chill and do a
better job at keeping the front room warm and bright.
New Stairs!
Our old stairs have become rickety and old, so new ones have been built. A couple of the new features of this
new stair model include an additional step for extra sitting pleasure as well as having the hand rails moved in
to help give support to those who need it. We invite everyone to come give them a test drive
Water water everywhere!
We have moved the 600 gallon water tank that was sitting in the garden up to where it can now be useful.
We now have 3,800 gallons of water. Though this is a great improvement on our way to our 5,000 gallon goal
we still have far to go.
Solor panels and 1500 watt inverter
By everyone’s donations we now have more power for Annwfn and are closer to proving that we can be self sufficient
and environmentally friendly. Thanks to all of your help and to the FoA.
Water tank
Thanks to Joe, Jeff, Tim, and Jack for rolling our new water tank up old fluffy. Many, many thanks to all those who
gave money to help increase our water storage from 1650 to 3200 gallons. We know that we can reach our 5000 gallon
goal.
2006 Improvements
Garden Shed
Donated by Gyspy and put together by Joe, Jeff, and Juan this nice shed now means that all of our garden
supplies can be housed in the same place. It has been beautifully painted by Laura with turtles.
This shed is so big that we are going to give the back half to battery storage for the power system.
Temple Dome
The lovely new dome for the temple has been installed with many thanks to Brita for spearheading
the donations. Also thanks for to Miguel and David Raitt and David's company Yurt Co.
2005 Improvements
Community
This is a huge mile stone for us. For the first time the community is the principle donator instead
of Jack and Tamar. Go everyone and keep up your help and support. Annwfn is growing more beautiful everyday.
Fresh Water Spring
Annfwn now has its very own spring. No long dependent on others for its water needs. We send our thanks
to the community and special thanks to Gypsy and Jack.
Cisturn Chapel
We have an additional restroom now on the property. It was built by money donated by Gypsy and by the hard
work of many of our members. As with the barrel privy this one has a self composting toilet. We all welcome the
new addition to Annwfn.
Past Improvements
2004 New water heater
Jack and Louis installed a new flash water heater, and it's wonderful! So, let's hear those ecstatic screams!
2003 Goat Lodge Kitchen Changes
* By relocating and widening the old pass-thru from the
front room to the main room Jack, Tamar, Dan, Sherry and anyone else who could help made the kitchen much more
usable.
* Your contributions bought a new cooking stove, with working oven!.
* Dan and Sherry donated almost-new Formica counters from their old home, complete with cabinets underneath
and a beautiful sink and a fancy filter-tap faucet.
* Arthur rotated the barrel wood stove sideways and made a new handle that doesn't smash your shins in the
dark any more. Masochists, we're sorry--but I'm sure you can find adequate pain somewhere else.
* Arthur and Lewis and Denese are owed many thanks for their diligence in getting a shower installed at
Annwfn in the Goat Lodge. This (indoor and heated) shower has been a dream long in coming for the caretakers.
1999 Expanded Garden
Our garden is now expanded to its present day size allowing us to grow many new plants and increase the
number of beds. We wish to thank everyone for their hard work and donations. We also invite everyone to come
try the plumbs they are many and plentiful.
1997 Water tank
Much thanks to Dawn and Patricia for their donation of a 1650 gallon tank to replace the old 350 gallon tank.
We all much appreciate the new increased water capacity.
1994 and 1995 Roofing project
We have raised much money to fix the roofs of all three houses. Thank you to everyone who gave of both their
time and money.
1991 and 1992 Fresh water system
Much thanks to everyone who helped lay the hundreds and hundreds of feet of piping for our new water system.
1985 Pond
Many thanks to those who helped to build our lovely pond
