Building a Swedish hermit's hut!

[southeast-isher]

Tak so mika for sharing the photos! Very interesting projects.

No more snow - hooray! This means we continued building today and nearly finished and raised the back wall. (There are a few supportive slots missing.) To be continued...

Ok, ok, I know - I really suck at updating!

But anyway! A lot of stuff has happened and there hasn't been a lot of time for building. The family dog died, two rowdy pups moved in, we've been to Germany, I've been working like hell and studying not so much like hell and blah, blah, blah...

So what's happened is we've begun building the front wall, we've fitted the door and we've found a tiny window to go on one of the gables. *Happy squeal.*

The apple trees are blooming, the dogs are running around happily, Florence + the Machine is blaring - life is good!

A sneak peak...

Next, more walls and a roof!

One and a half weeks ago I had an EEK-I'M-NEVER-GOING-TO-FINISH-THIS-DAMN-HOUSE-LET'S-JUST-BURN-IT moment. That was helpful. Since then, we've raised all the walls and put on a roof. I'm *hoping* that the, er, "worst" work is over. (Please just agree with me here... ) Now we're fixing the insulation and the flooring. Hooray for that I won't have to burn it!

How fantastic is that well done, i'm really looking forward to more pics, i have always wanted to live in a yurt in the woods but getting permission these days!!!!! you have more chance of sitting down to tea with an alien

[Starfaun]

Thank you!

Today we continued with the insulation. The 95 mm wood fibre insulation is proving to be easy to work with and, most importantly, it doesn't itch!

That is going to be a really comfortable hut! Looking good.

[Starfaun]

I have a floor!

I also finished insulating one of the walls today. Tomorrow I'll continue doing that and then a friend of mine will come over for the first fika ever in the house. I'm so happy, happy!

[boboff]

You are very clever!

Brilliant work

[Starfaun]

Thank you everyone for your sweet words!

The insulation madness never ends...

Look what I found! They're made out of porcelain and yes, it was love at first sight. *Sighs happily.* I could sit and just look at them all day... Heh.
