Less snow two days after – sign of spring
On Sunday the 1’st Iver and I was out enjoying the snow. Two days after I went for a run and the conditions had completely changed, picture taken at the same locations as the one from the previous blog post showing the snow sledge at the bottom right.
Doing it the old fashioned way
Applying the final touch on the concrete floor before we can start to lay the parquet flooring. The concrete needed to be leveled, small job doing that – the problem was afterwards when I had to clean the tooling. Since all water faucets outside still was frozen I went down to the small stream (brook) and cleaned it there, just like Elin’s grandmother washed clothes back in the old days. Worked as a charm, tools and bucket all clean and nice now.

Birch extract
Trying out old traditions, today extracts from the birch tree. Tasted like…water.
Cannot stand on the rooftop of my tractor
There are many ways to remove rust from metal, here are four of them using stuff from your kitchen. I will not be using any of them when removing rust from the roof of my tractor. Anyways, with the help from my neighbor the roof was lifted of earlier today. So now I have a Valmet 865s cabriolet…

My latest book – Hel ved by Lars Mytting
Lars Myttings non-fiction book Hel ved («Solid wood») is one of the greatest publishing successes in Scandinavia ever. It is a «practical-lyrical» guide on the use and lore of firewood, based on Norwegian traditions and our modern science on stoves and renewable energy.
I did try today to make fire from the top as described in the book and I broke the record of getting the fireplace hot as h$#.
