Summer project - pool in the ground

[GRailsback]

Joe, why is there a barrel buried in your back yard pool area?

As you know I've had a lot of different people come here and grab some leca. I've hardly shoveled anything yet. The kids and I joked about hiding a scull in there. I can imagine seeing the face of those who found it. Would have been hilarious, but the police would be all over here I think.

Greg; that barrel is from when we had a kerosene burner, which we threw out. This was before I got bitten by the bbq bug. The barrel is galvanized so I don't think its suitable for an uds.

So instead of throwing it out with the burner you buried it?

[Norway Joe]

Yes. Strict rules for throwing anything that's been used for storing oil products. Better to throw it there. I'll have to bring it to a return point now.

Finally we could start building. Built most of the framework for the floor today.

I will build a wall against all the rocks and concrete at the end of the hole. The pool we have is a bit shorter than the original hole. That's ok. I don't have to transport away all the heavy stuff.

Fonzie is as always in the middle of the action. Giving a helping hand, or not.

I use that for a Pesticide, in case someone makes me a present of it.

Beware a woman skilled with a Chop Saw!!!!

Joe, a question: Are there mosquitos in Norway? All that fresh water would lead one to think yes, but all that cold weather might make one think no. Inquiring minds are inquiring...

[Norway Joe]

Yes we do. They come out in the spring around may and are around until September I think. They thrive be have a lot of rain and they breed in ponds and lakes. None of them are carrying any diseases. If you go out in the forest and there is no wind, the air can be almost black, sometimes it's unbearable. Up in the north it's extreme and there they're big as a B52. See photo.

We have almost none around our house (or other bugs for that sake) , but 100 yards away they show up. We have a few wasps (no killer bees) that can be a bit annoying in September. We should also beware of ticks when out in high grass or vegetation. They can be a bit nasty since they can carry lyme disease.
