I´d love to just stop right here and round it off keeping the old floor closest to the camera. That might mean that I can’t finnish the floor until autumn so I just don´t know. We will see on monday.

Beams studio
Flooring and plastics
The first section by the door was a breeze although I was in no hurry. It had concrete foundation walls bellow on all four sides. This section is a little more difficult, I have 2 and a half foundations and a beam of wood on the left. I´m getting stressed cause the area I´m standing on is the most difficult, probably. It will be all right if I speed it up a little, hm.
Axing the syll
I gave the old axe a shining and sharpening last weekend. Here it is removing a segment of old timber to make way for some new. Great fun but noisy especially when I used the larger sledgehammer creating a heavy metal duet with the axe.
Two windows, restoring the old floor
Handtools
The axe was especially useful for removing segments of old beams that needed trimming to make way for fresh wood. My grandfather gave me the axe a few years ago. Most excellent tool. The black tape is for grip. Thanks grandpa:)
the studio stove
Until last summer there used to be a old carpenters oven here. Not anymore. We bought a wood fired stove. This one is from Italy and a bargain compared to large Norwegian ovens without the cooking facility. Good for pizza and bread so far and it heats the studio lounge well.
