Sättugnsplatta

När vi grävde för dränering så hittade vi en gammal sättugnsplatta som var placerad mot grundmuren. Den ska blästras och få en bättre placering inuti huset.

Glasveranda

Vi har en glasveranda. Det märkte vi när vi började rensa innerväggarna i utbyggnaden vid köksväggen. Nya möjligheter och nya beslut som behöver tas.

A piece of tile

When digging out the old kitchen, we found a piece of tile. It looks quite old, but we still have to date it.

Continued work

The work continues slowly. I spent some of my weekend time tearing down walls, tearing up floors, etcetera. In the mean time we are working on the contractor part. As of today we are waiting for a quotation. After reception of that we are ready to sign a contract and start the real work.



The pictures show a new door that we found and part of an old mural.

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.

Trompe l'Oeil

When removing shelves from the pantry inside the old kitchen, one shelf turned out to be an old painted door. Too bad it is not possible to use any more.

Old newspaper

Our first finding was beneath an old carpet: a newspaper from 1919.
