Sightseeing in Fredrikstad

Yesterday we got a guided tour of the fortified town of Fredrikstad, interesting and a lot fun as well, the commander in chief (the guide) had many good stories.

Some of the soliders. This weekend was packed with various cultural events in Fredrikstad, so I guess that was why the soliders had to dress up

Still safe?

This package of kefir has been forgotten for some time in the fridge, usually not really worried about the date, but it started to get a bit “blown up”

…and actually, yesterday it almost bursted…that was really the deatch sentence.

Preparing for winter

Actually this was last Saturday, got an early start and decided that we most likely won’t be spending to much time on the terrace anymore this year.

Cleaning the terrace, I really hate fungus and moss…

Did spray the moss with chemicals a couple of weeks ago, now washing most of it away. Will have to repeat the process

Moving a container – redneck style

I was called in yesteday by my neighbour to help out two guys getting an old container on to a trailer. Turned out to be a bit more work than expected, but we had a lot of fun and several good laughs (and just ot mention it from the start, it all went well)

Can it be lifted? Yes it can!

The trailer is ready to be pushed underneath

Had to level the tractor

Time for a break

Phase 1 done – mounted on the trailer, now phase 2 – Pull it out. Good thing I have more than one tractor.

We needed to level the trailer as well

Testing it on the car. We did not actually believe it at first, but the container was in perfect balance, so we could actually lift it from the trailer hitch with no help at all.

Phase 3 – Securing the load

Phase 4 – Getting ready to go

Volvo equals tractor…
