Roof frames 99% ready

We brought the kids here yesterday, all snoring and coughing due to our more than a week long flu. Thought we needed some fresh air...
So we took out our camera, and couldn't take a single photo due to that Martin had forgot the memory card in his computer.

Kids complaining about cold noses and hands, and we headed home again without mission completed!

But today we came prepared! Freezing cold and a bit windy too! Which quite frankly means that you are freezing your "beeeeeep" off!

With mittens, scarfes and caps we concuered the scaffolding!

You're probably not allowed to do so, but who will know?

Exciting and a bit frightening. More than me just holding on for dear life! The bloody thing moved!

A new picture of the beams in the living room. It will be so exceptionally nice! But of course I am biased!

Here Beatrice is looking into her room, thinking about her pink wall paper that she wants and fantasizing about not having to share a room with Bastian any longer. I had Martin climb around on a ladder inside the house also, but he claimed that I wasn't holding on properly and stomped down...
Who would you choose to look after? Two children or a fullgrown man?

I knew you would agree with me. It wasn't as if he ever was in any danger! Hrumpf!

This picture is taken through the bathroom upstairs. The "hole" where there's no beams is where the stair is supposed to come up later.
Followed by some more exterior pictures, one hiding our son Bastian. Martin also wanted to see if we could see our new house from the hills above Sundviken, so we took a small detour and took these LOVELY photos!! (oh yes, I am ironic!)

The first one showing where we live right now and where we will move. Notice the arrows pointing this out!

And then, for the finale, a close up! So tomorrow we will be topping off, "taklagsfest"
Cakes to bake and a wreath to hang!

The Roof Frame

Now work has begun constructing the roof. This view is from the neighbours driveway. (I've masked out some of our neighbours stuff that appeared on the original image).


Here we can see that some interior walls have also been put up. Since the builders where working when I took the pictures, I didn't want to enter the house.

Here we can see a few pictures of the roof frame that has been constructed over the living room.

This is the view from the grocery store across our neighbour's lawn. Dan the Builder told us that absolutely everybody shopping at the store pause for good look at the construction.

This is a view of the lot from some distance away. I'm standing near the train station looking westwards. In the far distance one can barely make out the Öresund strait which separates Sweden from Denmark. One can also see Denmark, faintly.

In true CSI-style, I used a few "zoom" and "enhance" image manipulation tools on a section of the above picture, making Denmark more visible. (Just to make sure that the country is still there, it is a very small country, after all).
