On Friday, we went to pick up the sheephouse timber kit at Coop Bygg. As the kit weighed 800 kilos, this operation involved our neighbour Håkon's assistance, his car (with a tow bar) as well as Coop's rental boogie trailer. Finally back home we excitedly cut open the parcel but spent the next few minutes in confused disbelief, as it turned out we had received the wrong kit. The next morning Klaus and Håkon had to take it back to Coop and now Klaus has to wait at least another three weeks for the correct kit to be dispatched from Sweden. Quite a blow, although Klaus' eagerness does not seem dented whatsoever. Full attention is now given to the lower wall, drainage and add-on hay storage. It must have been a coincident that he looked up right at the moment when an amazing rainbow suddenly appeared above Tønsåsen. So here's a rare view of the house with two rainbows: The one on the peace-flag waiving from the pole, and the one that always reminds us of silver linings and hidden treasures.
