Small projects

Our life in this house is constituted by a lot of ongoing small and big projects. Also the small ones require quite some time to be accomplished (even when we try to focus on exactly that one) for a reason or another.

A perfect example is finding the "right" furniture.
This lamp has been waiting to be found for about 4 years (and by the way, I would have wished to have it with three arms).
We have added some new furniture in the house since I was more active on the blog. Some of them were pieces that we had been longing for for a while.

Lamp from the 40s or 50s

A project that has started two years ago is the outdoor dryer. You can read about this here.

We (well, actually, Mattias), finally started to play around with it and made good progresses.

Next step is to finish the sawing of the decorative part and I have to oil everything.

Mattias is in action preparing for some sawing

Look! His hands are so fast, it is impossible to take a pic (or I simply took a blurred one and I am trying to be funny)

One of the pillars is waiting to be oiled

Considering the people in action and long projects, we have our blacksmith doing a lot of small and big things.
One of them is trying to fix the handle from the garage doors (see here to read how did it broke).
His first attempt was unsuccessful so I went and harass him again.

Preparation...

At work!

Now, tomorrow I need to go and visit him and see if he was really successful this time...
