There was a lot of work this year. First, we decided to extend the bridge to the other side, and that involved draining the pond somewhat. Also, for the platform above the vault, I finally got around to drafting the plans and getting the framing underway. Constructing the gazebo took some thinking and planning, but it’s turning out well. Then, I added a small lawn area among the gingko trees with shrubs as well.
Yesterday was Chinese New Year. Many of the plants in our yard are in bloom now, and all of it added to the atmosphere yesterday. We celebrated by having company over, and to finish off the evening, we had a dumpling-making party.
I took a break from making the guqin and resumed this afternoon. Progress has been much slower than I had thought. This partly because I’m routing a lot more carefully than before (and at finer step intervals). I’m almost done hollowing out the top panel to match the convexity.
