Elin is painting, the front loader is the ultimate tool.

Still more painting

The concrete base is ready, easy one

Started doing the formwork, this bit is tricky. The bridge ready for the wheelbarrow.

Formwork ready, looks a bit chaotic.

All ready, sand in the front loader bucket, crushed rock next to it together with the cement bags and finally the cement mixer.

The casting is done, best of all, the formwork did not break, a small thanks to my engineering but most of all luck.

Elin painting some more. and we have started to level the lawn in front.

Single track in Arendal, beer festival and good food

Went to Arendal together with friends this weekend to try Tungvekteren. Weather forecast was promising and also accurate. So after getting up early on Saturday morning, jumping into the car and heading down to Arendal we started biking at around 12:00.

Someone have had technical problems

Trine on one of the most spectacular spots on the track.

At the hotel, we stayed at Tyholmen, pretty nice!

And it turned out to be a beer festival there the same evening, which we could not refuse to attend.

This one from Nøgne Ø, 16%, coffee among the other ingredients.

The view

Since we deserve it, hamburger and Cola on our way home.

Out running with the help of Piper

Me and Piper, our neighbor, or to be more correct – our neighbors dog – went out running two days ago. I got pulled a lot for the first half hour, but the rest we were more or less helping each other. Fun to not be all alone, also since it got pitch-dark at the end.
