Never Ending Story…

Oh man, does it only feels like work is never ending???

Look at this…

After a whole weekend of work it still seems like the wood pile is not getting smaller. Ok, maybe that’s because it was not only wood work. Also using half a day to get to the city to buy some more building material, go on with ceiling and floor in Joël’s room, cutting bushes in the free run, etc.

But let me tell you a bit more about the last few weeks: after some warm days end of April it was colder again and at Pentecost – believe it or not – we had 12cm of new snow over night, most in Sweden as you can see on the picture that I stole from Glommersträsk’s Instagram account 😉

So the cold days we used to build new dog houses, meanwhile 3 of 5 are done 🙂 We also made plans about the old house on the yard that we first thought to be the guest house later. But now we decided to use it as bakery (what it is already now), as dog kitchen and medical room, guest toilet and food and equipment storage. But for this we need to put water in the house, so more work on the yard to get water and dirt water pipes connected. And of course, we make plans for a new guest house. But since we anyway had to postpone the longer tours for one season we thought the innovations above are a good step in between 😉

We also got the delivery of more elements for the new dog cages. One we could already add because we prepared the ground last autumn. Three more are waiting for ground preparations that were postponed due to the slowly melting and fresh snow. But within this month the new cages will be ready I guess and also the grillkåta should be in place (maybe the painting will take until July). Except if we are using too much time and energy for our wood pile 😉 We will let you know and show you pictures of the results 🙂

Counting the days

Time flies… it’s not even one week until we start our new adventure 🙂

We are so much looking forward to this that we sometimes mix up all our ideas and plans what to organise and do first. But since the renovation of the roof of the main house will take some more time we will start – no question – with building up some nice cages and a big free run for our dogs and not to forget the dog houses… So, first thing after arrival will be to measure everything in detail, pick up our order of wooden poles and bottom logs in Arvidsjaur and go to Skellefteå to buy the material for the dog houses. And hope that the delivery of cage elements and fence comes in time. That means the first three days are full of driving around and get all the stuff before we can start to work efficiently.

At the same time it is planned that our stuff from Germany will arrive. A lot of boxes that want to get unpacked. Let’s see what surprises are hidden in there 😉

Even if there is so much to do we will try to give you a first impression with some pictures already from day one… stay tuned and visit our page again on 1st of September.
