Preparing for winter to kick in....

...and while waiting stuff like this appear!







All cabins in Norway needs gray water filtering. It turned out to be a project on it`s own. Luckily I enjoy the digging. This photo is not doing justice to the scale of the whole that i dug...3 meter wide, and about 1,5 deep. And then all the gravel needs to go back to have proper drainage.

...and a little help was appreciated.
....finally!! But only one third of the work is now done...

Wonder how the landscape will turn out in the end. But I doubt that I will be able to see that before next spring due to the soil freezing.

..pouring in all the different gravel that is filtering and cleaning the water.

...to be continued.

We are now officially connected to the grid! Cheers..

..one of us got half-way through the shower and the water stopped. Turns out I needed to put on the heating cable for the water pump and pipes :)  ..and my neighbor recommended me to make this insulating box to survive the roughest winters. Rock-wool and Leca gravel will be added next weekend.

...and then fall was ending as well..
