Vacation
I made my last workday before vacation today. Maybe I should just call it workcation instead because as usual that is exactly what I will do. I will start building my new deck tomorrow. It's been very hot here in Sweden the past weeks, too hot for me. It will be just as hot tomorrow so we will see how long I can be outside working. After that it will cool down a little and even rain. My kind of weather. ^_^

Looking back....
When I look back at what I have actually done the last three years I realize that I must be full blown crazy. No normal person would take on a project like this. I'm friggin nuts. lol I should wear a shirt with the text: 60% stubborn and 40% idiot. 😆
Stove corner
This is the corner for the stove. New little iron stove was bought. I still haven't got the new chimney up but that will happen in a couple of months when I do the last of the roof.
More livingroom
From the very beginning. Removing a rotten wall and floor and building it up again and putting in a new window. Now it's my little reading corner.

Exterior and roof
A couple of before and after pics on the exterior. And of the roof. I did half of it in May and will do the other side after summer. To be honest, I am very tired after working so hard for so long.
Porch and entrance.
Then there was a new porch and entrance. I spent my four weeks of vacation last summer doing this and the sewer treatment plant. The first photos is from the very beginning.
Sewer treatment.
Okay, time to update a little with what I have done during more than a year. I will start with the sewer and mini treatment plant. Not the sexiest thing but one of the biggest and most complex. I wasn't sure I would be able to pull it off. But I did. And the joy to be able to actually take a shower and do laundry in my own house was worth all the work and agony. Dad helped with the digging.

Long time no see...
It's been over a year since I posted anything. I have been so busy and working hard on the house. I am getting there though. Slowly but steady. And I must say that I am a bit proud of myself for not giving up. I have a feeling that many would by now. But all is basically done inside. What I have left is to build a deck, I will do that on my vacation that starts in about 10 days. After that there's some things to do in the yard, I will get help from my dad with that, his excavator is here so I will have some digging done. Then I need to do the rest of the roof, I did half of it a month ago and will do the rest after the other outdoor stuff is done. Then I am basically done. Well, with the things I HAVE to do. After that I will do stuff that I want to do that isn't super important. Like building a greenhouse. I will try to start adding pictures again. But I can't guarantee it lol.
