Good news back then, less so now. Gas drilling-induced earth quakes kind of done away with the euphorious mood of days gone by.

Why bother removing the bark if it works with it just the same. Nice and simple…
Another chrome vanadium find
This time good old fashioned quality tools
Finally a break
It seems the floor is not all that sturdy/massive/thick and all. It is a number of layers but not all as strong as they seem. The bottom bricks can almost be picked up without any power tools to loosen them.
Gonna have a go at it with a friend. Might just save us a few thousand euros…
Found (and sometimes lost)
Haven’t kept proper track but we’ve found at least one hammer, one screwdriver, one cheese grater, some names of previous builders and other markings.

Finders keepers!
No more water
The water is finally turned off. Enjoyed the view one more time.
Holding up the meter box
It had not been an example of modern day tech and construction for a long time. Just made that a little more explicit. Balancing the power(s)…
Fireplace up in smoke
Had not seen proper fire in ages but still… Will never see fire again (or anything at all for that matter). The wooden panel is what the meter box Is attached to

Wall art
It is in fact rather pretty… Afraid we’ll get just plain white walls
