Glimpse of the future?

Updates coming from Mokuhankan recently have been somewhat scattered in terms of the 'venue'; we've been putting posts on Facebook, videos on YouTube, and have somewhat neglected this quiet little blog.
That's not such a good policy actually, as some other social media platforms - Facebook in particular - are extremely ephemeral. Something I post on Facebook gets a ton of attention on the day, but will never be seen again ... ever. It is next to useless for 'documenting' what we are doing.
But the undeniable fact is that something I post here gets a couple of dozen viewers at most, and a Facebook post will flash round the world in minutes, gathering hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of views. It's difficult to balance these things.
Anyway, as I posted an update on our new printer's room on Facebook a short time ago, let's redress the unbalance, and do this one - an update on the 'kitchen' area of the new workroom - here on the blog ...
Here's where we left off ... a photo of the area shortly after we moved in a couple of months ago:
That's a 'modular' shower unit at the left, totally mold-ridden and infested. The flooring is sagging between the joists, and the sink units are ancient and decayed. The first step for Lee-san was simply to rip it all out:
The plan is simple - a new bathroom at left, a long table for sizing paper next to it, and a small 'kitchenette' at the far right. Lee-san now has the second and third parts of that starting to fall basically into place:
So, time to get sizing? Well ... yes, but maybe tomorrow! Before that, it's time to test out that little oven that is tucked away under the range. And what better way to do that, than with some of our patented 'nichi-bei' muffins!
In they go ...
And 25 minutes later, out they come, the first muffins ever from the Mokuhankan Kitchens!
The first Print Party today was scheduled at 1:00pm, so there was time for me to have lunch down there before the guests arrived ...
Long-time readers of this blog, and others who have followed our activities over the past few years, know that there is a 'back story' to this muffin episode. This is all part of our Master Plan ...
If you have time for it, there is an extended description of the concept in this blog post ...

Out of curiosity which type of gas does the building use?
I have a spare propane range that is probably a bit better than that one I see.
