Y's holiday

this is what Y has mostly been up to on his holiday. before the actual hammering new wood on the outside wall, a lot of preparatory work: finding new windows (double windows) for upstairs, making a new structure to fit the windows and not get the roof fall down, emptying the upstairs. we got a container in the yard and it took away the old gips boards, plastics and junk. Y separated metal and paper and the insulation made of peat, it can be used for compost and garden. some junk went to S & U's kids' art workshop that's taking place in the village right now. dusty and heavy work. and now! it's all clean and beautiful, no-one would ever guess how it looked like. good work, Y! this window is facing the sunrise and the field i always take photos of. we always dreamed of waking up up there. that will start happening some time next year...? the wood on the floor here is the kitchen and kamari ceiling paneling from above. finding the windows was a lot of work, as we were not willing to pay a lot of money for them. all other windows have ended up here more or less for free. we wanted them to be a bit lower than the first floor windows, and that size proved to be quite rare. ...i'm such a cheater talking about "we", Y is the one doing all the work, searching and finding, planning and organising. i participate in thinking though, and maybe 10% of my ideas are quite good!

writing on wood, it is the name of this place. before it was called something else which we changed a tiny bit into Manteli.


V's evening ritual: playing with birds. windows again.


i'm all the time confused about what day it is, i think it's either saturday or sunday as Y is at home. occasionally i feel like it's friday. some funny situations caused by that. this is how the father and the daughter communicate on his holiday...
