Painting, painting, painting and snow melting..

That was the last round painting the surfaces white. The wood burning stove has not yet been fully installed through the ceiling. We tested it with a candle light though, to get the feel of it...























The sun is starting to get really hot (relative from where you are reading this) and it was enjoyed thoroughly during painting breaks...


 
We are not looking forward to the muddy landscape that soon will disclose itself around our cabin. We decided to by wellies for our next trip..

Kitchen counter, bed and Easter lamb..

The first night and the first mountain skitrip..


All the walls and ceiling have now been covered with plaster and is about to be coated to remove gaps.

We spent the first night in the cabin on the hems.

Our new yellow bed-side lamp is looking good.

The stove almost killed our backs.

..and the table. Finally a place to sit and eat.
We had to unpack one of the sofa elements to test it out during the weekend. But since the carpenters are still there, we had to put it back into its cardboard box.

A week ago we went skiing on the highest plateau. The weather was great and the landscape was amazing. This trip gave a whole other dimension to our cabin. We didn`t go to Jøranfisen (Jøran fart) but next time we sure will :)

Interior cladding on it`s way..

There are two types of wood being used - Kebonized pine and oak. The pine is very dark due to the impreg. process. By using a very rough non-woven on its surface, it will turn lighter and it`s texture will be highlighted. The other wall will be plaster painted white. 

The vertical marks on the boards are from the way it is stacked during the impreg process. Maybe it turned out to be an interesting look..

 

 

 

The after-noon sun coming into the shower niche. These surfaces will have tiles on them, as well as the window niche. 

They were halfway done in the living room, but enough to give some impression. Me, carrying the oak for the stair.

  

The oak floor is wrapped around the edge to become a small back wall in the wardrobe niche. 

I love the way the Kebonized pine is also wrapped around the window openings. It looks so massive and rough.  

Takrenne og beslag på plass..

All the windows are installed and the last layer of concrete is cast.

After a long car-trip down to Skien to get more Kebony-wood cladding, a wonderful winter-landscape awaited us. The snow is removed to start some roof work next week. It is as if the building looks bald after getting used to all that snow. 

The sun-rays were really giving us an insight on how the windows allows for light into the spaces. Although the picture will be adjusted by the interior walls and surface texture and color. The concrete was cast the day before.

A view from the living-room showing the peak out through the window above the interior door and the adjacent one in the exterior wall. Nice to see the sunlight in the hallway as well through the kitchen windows. 

One out of three windows in the guest room. The one with the cable coming out of it, stuffed with insulation to overcome the heat loss.

This is our bedroom. The one window on top always giving us a cloud-report.

View from bed - outer position.

View from bed, inner position. (ah, scaffolding sucks)

The cast in the hallway. The concrete will be polished in a week. And that`s when they will start on the oak stair leading up to the higher level.

A view showing the bathroom, and the corner of the hems (what is hems in english..anyone?) with the build-in ladder taking you up. 

An illustration showing the two stairs in the cabin.


The floor of the hems is in place. On top of this there will be a carpet, that we haven´t decided the type yet.

Testing of heights and proportions.

Say no more :)

The only thing missing now is the metal between the windows. I wonder how fast it will turn grey. They say it only takes one season. 

Finally the pair of the windows installed together.
