I continue the happy story with a whole bunch of photos by Lidia, beautiful as always. Just click to see.
And here 2 more films with musical background by Denis and his sax. Great moments. You can see what Du has been doing for the last months...
I am off to celebrate...
Yesterday we finished the last wall! After 7 months of work on the facade it is finally finished! This day has finally come. Incredible... This is it - the last tile:
And this is the finally covered house from all sides with the happy tired trio - Du, Da and Uncle Kruno:
We started with opening the upper wall (that has been covered in black for many months) and checking the mice damage. It turns out that even though we had many nice there, the straw bales had only small holes that were not real damage at all.
...to be continued...
Many little things last week. Trees became green. Scaffolding in front of the south wall was removed. Black&white cat is more and more tame, she comes every day now. She was also in a fight somewhere and her leg is hurt. We discovered that hornbeam throws many funny flowers onto the ground in spring. We cleaned the funny things from the roof. Enjoyed the new look of the house in the south. I got binoculars to view the birds. They were mostly hiding from me. Drinking coffee on the roof terrace. Scared a rabbit. Du and Ur played some new improvisations. Ur made seitan for lunch. We put tiles onto the east wall. Ground floor is almost covered now. My mum cleaned the remaining tiles.
The same story in pictures:
Last week we had Šumsko (the adventurous friend) helping us. This made many jobs funnier. One of them was the preparatory work we had with the battens. We needed to spray the remaining battens for protection against mold and insects. Then it turned out that many of them had already gotten some mold this winter. So we needed to sand them first to remove most of it and then apply the protective liquid. This took some time to do. And we are still not finished. But the 2 friends didn't despair :-)
I have a special treat for you today. We were doing same old facade jobs again and again, you have seen it all before (except for Miljenko's new ladders!). So I decided to add real original creatures of spring as a bonus for watching with every building picture. We are all in the mood of spring anyway. We work for some time, than one of us stops and finds some new beauty around us. And we have to take a break to enjoy. The speed with which everything changes these days is incredible. It is a matter of hours and not days. Everything is awakening!
FIrst we glued the black hydro isolation on the very bottom. The house should be all sealed at the bottom now.
And last, Du started unfolding his chainsaw's full creative potential(!) when he made the little grabek chair. It is really comfortable to sit. And it is made from the tree that was once in place of our house. Thank you!
