Materials and Crew arrive




Well, I havent't figured out how to intelligently upload pictures, so this post will look odd...
In order clockwise: 1)Our site in the Skansen, an amazing open air museum. We haven't seen the quarter of it ourselves. The logs are spread out and getting ready to be assigned a job. 2) The daily thunderstorm. Far away today, thankfully. 3) Our shipment of Gransfors Bruks Axes. A beautiful sight. 4) Home sweet home at the Sosanki, a former red army retreat. This is the biggest of a few cabins. Quite rustic. Quite lovely.

The food is wonderful. I feel I can eat endlessly every time I sit down at the table. My favorite to date is a Crepe style pancake with Ricotta type cheese, folded in quarters and served warm. Closely followed with what I would spell like this: Zeppelini. A potato dumpling shell filled with ground pork. About the size of a fist.

The crew is now all in Sanok, half of them have had their first day of work. We're establishing ourselves, building sawhorses and shelves for tools and putting up tents for shade and eventually inevitably rain. The Telehandler has spread out the logs and we'll start hewing tomorrow. There is a lot! of work ahead of us.

More tomorrow!

  1. Oh what a beautiful sight (and site)...if those axes don't say Gerry all over them, nothing does! Glad you are alive and well, we all miss you. Can't wait to see what's next!
