Throw away time

Today an eight cubic meter container was placed on the property. We will use the weekend to fill it up with stuff to throw away.

Coincidence or what?

Today I learned that my grandfather was born and brought up in a place called Hagalund. It was situated in Upplands Bro kommun close to Säbyholm in Låssa församling.

I also learned that the Swedish artist Olle Olsson Hagalund was born and lived in a part of Solna called Hagalund.

Three different Hagalund. Probably there are more...

Decisions to make - interior materials

This weekend we are busy discussing and deciding the materials we want for the walls, floors, ceilings, etc. of each room.

Unnerving findings

The wall westwards is not in as good a state as we wished. We have learned that the wall is bulit up mostly by clay bricks and that it is quite moist due to a high degree of damp. Ants have also helped in a negative way. Possibly we need to rebuild parts of this wall.

Upstairs we have learned that insects are still active and eating of the wood. That is not a too serious problem though.

Political pamphlet

Another finding beneath an old carpet was this booklet of 1919. It is the swedish farmers movement stating their political task.
The politicains of today are not proud of their predecessor's agitation.
