Construction commenced today. M. and two workers arrived. We cleared the studio of furniture, easels, canvas stash, and other stuff. A third of the studio will be converted to dormitory space for M.'s cafe's waiters and staff members, who work in two shifts.

The delivery of materials came very late in the afternoon, and so, not much work was done.

Our house changes its configuration at least once a year. It renews and changes the flow of energy within and without--and actually prevents astral visitors from finding their way around and becoming too familiar with the place.
