In the meantime ...
A lot has happened since we've arrived, but the internet connection at the hut (through a wireless usbstick) is very bad. So there isn't much opportunity to post blog updates.

Voyage
Yesterday was the start of our big trip to Sweden. We were a little concerned about the hauling capabilities of the ten year old Nissan micra, but the car behaved flawlessly on the two day trip. The trailer we were hauling had to take a pit stop in a local garage, but is going OK again.
On the road Karel was reading an article about Urnatur and it turned out to be on our route north, so we stopped to have a look at the cabins they have for rent:
It looks like a beautiful place to stay and was an inspiration for us.
Finally some pictures taken 'on the road' close to our destination in Dalarna:

Sauna design
The departure date to Sweden (1st of july) is getting closer and the planning is getting more and more hectic.
Here are some pictures from the sketchup design of what should become the sauna/bastu we'll be building over there.
This is a picture of the general layout of the sauna:
And this is an architectural design where everything is drawn and measured in mm's:
We'll be working on this till september. There probably won't be enough time to finish it all, I guess that'll take a couple more holidays.

house in Dalarna
There was a period of silence on the blog, but things were very busy with the logcabin/Sweden project. Everything clicked together and the project transformed and accelerated.
We found different people who are very motivated to participate. We selected a small house in Dalarna province and went there at the end of march to inspect it (together with some other plots/houses). We quickly settled on this particular house since it's beautifully located (in the woods and near a lake) and is also in an acceptable shape. It's situated on approximately 1600m² land.
After some consideration we bought the house and are now with five owners!
The plan is to renovate it this summer and to build a sauna next to it.
