Game over for this summer


Some good and some bad new:
First the bad news? Ten days before I was to leave Bart to himself I managed hurt myself. Nothing serious but no more lifting heavy logs for this summer for me. 

The good news? We had hoped to finish at least the walls this summer but alas. We managed to finish 6 out of 8 layers which isn't bad though. We even got some help from an Australian friend of ours, Ray. We met him on the course in Gränsfors and was so good to come and help us for a week. He even gave Bart some pointers on how to make that mortise axe razor sharp ... the irony of it all :-)

More news next summer!
