Under 'cover' II

Some design changes. An overhang and some extra tiles.

Waterpressure

Still an item about building the house.

Already a couple of years I noticed a very high water pressure. Probably that caused a big problem with the dishwasher some time ago, also the hoses for watering the garden got thicker than it should be when the water pressure was on. Talking about it with my neighbor I found out that he had a pressure regulator installed. Nobody gave me ever a hint that it was necessary to install such a regulator. So I bought one in Holland as well as a pressure gauge. After we got here I installed the set before I turned on the water main tap. I have set the pressure at about 4 atm. and it looked right now. Something to keep in mind for a next time.

Under 'cover'

With some old material, I found in the garage, I managed to create a roof over the woodpile. It can dry now without getting wet after every shower. I'm thinking of closing it at some sides.

Green

A bit more than a week went by and Mother Nature colored everything green.

What a bit of rain and lots of sun can do, incredible.

Work in progress and ahead

As usual there is a lot of work.

Our neighbor, Paavo, gave me almost 1 m3 of wood. So a lot of cutting and piling up. The usual work almost every year. Further more the house needs to be painted, but the painter still needs a kick to get started.

In the garden Arja has planted some bushes with red- and blackberries and along the path she seeded some flowers and herbs.

Back again in Peiponpesä 2010

After a trip via Kiel, Göteborg, Stockholm and Turku we finally arrived at Peiponpesä.

We brought the good weather with us, 20℃ almost right away.

The first time to the summer cottage however was a mixed day with some rain.

The water in the lake is pretty high and the yetty is partly under the water.
