Vacation 2014

Hello! I'm back.
Well maybe most of you didn't even notice I was gone. I tend to disappear for longer amount of times, but it was longet this time than usually.

I hope everyone had a nice vacation/summer. I didn't. I spent the last 14+ days with:
- carriyng sacks that were almost as heavy as I am
- carriying smaller sacs that were lighter but there were a lot of them
- mixing concrete with a rake (Concrete... with a rake...)
- sawing timber
- getting dirty (but not the fun way)
- getting a sunburn (also not the fun way)
- sending the mason away (in a very unfriendly way)
- spending way too much money
- painting the walls
- cleaning the house
- eating high calory foods and still losing weight
- not earning money
- and many other things

You see we thought it would be a good idea to spend the vacation money of this year on something useful. So instead of going somewhere nice and spending a few days relaxing we diceded to get some new windows and doors instead of the old ones. Sounds like a smart thing to do. Right? We hoped it would be done in a week or so but we were sooo wrong. The mason who originally started the job turned out to be pretty bad at his work. It did not only look bad, it also seemed it would fall apart in a few weeks in some cases. He also brought his little daughter to the construction site and we had to take care of her. (she's not a good kid) So we had to find a new mason who somehow fixed what the first guy messed up. Of course I had to play helping hand all the time and I'm not exactly used to hard physical wotk, or the heat.

My right arm is still strained a bit so I really needed some practice to get back to drawing again. I hope I can continue working on commissions  soon and show you guys something nice.

Oh and the thing on the right side is a hail storm...
