Together with Atle and the boys we went to Gan and visited Høgås Batteri today. Very nice and easy accessible, just park by the road and an easy walk for 5 minutes.
View over Øyern
And a lot of blueberries as well

Powershell – Bad numeric constant error
First one up this morning, nothing else to do than enjoying myself with a bit of Powershell-scripting. Got stuck for a while, my script did not run due to the error “Bad numeric constant error”. Turned out that I had a variable starting with a number…which apperantly is bad. Removed the number and voila, all fine.
The never ending story – renovation of the outbuilding
Couple of pictures from this month. On the 10’th Roy helped me out leveling the floor.
Then I had to remove the root from the birch tree.
Then a day off, helping my inlaws, throwing down the old tiles from the roof.
Then a long period with heavy rain causing a complete halt, but finally on the 20’th we could start again.
And then today I finally had time to mount the plastic sheets on to the concrete and start laying the drainage

Raggmunk in Töckfors
Had to try it out when in Töckfors yesterday – good one!!
The Swedish version of unbound potato pancakes is called rårakor.[4] When prepared with a batter of wheat flour, milk, egg, and shredded potatoes and fried like thin pancakes, they are called raggmunk, the word “ragg” means crispy and “munk” derives from the Swedish “munkpanna”, which is literally translated as donutpan.[5] Both kinds are enjoyed with fried pork and lingonberry jam.

Trip to Haukenestårnet
Loaded the car last Friday and headed off to Rømskog to visit Haukenestårnet. From where we parked the car it was just about 15-20 minutes walk (or run, the boys ran all the way both to and from). The tower is always open.
Heading home, I had to speed up or else the boys would outrun me totally
Renovation progress
The drainage is not up to date, so my father in-law is doing what he knows best – digging using the backhoe. Actually, the foundation has no protection against the groundwater and soil, so we need to add that along with new drainage pipes.
And the old birch tree had to go. As we know it was planted back in 1892 when the local sheriff (? – lensmann) moved to the house we know live in. The tree was actually rotten inside, along with the leaves, branches and birch juice tearing on the roof, so we had to remove it. Securing using the winch it was pretty easy to
