The eagle has landed


Today it arrived, the entire package containing my hopes and dreams...:)
5 meter and 1.4 tons of wooden material in one single package.
The stove and stones together with the seats/bench of the sauna was a separate package of roughly 200 Kg.
Fortunately I had the heavy cavalry waiting around the corner to do the lifting.


cavalry to the rescue

From there on it was simply grunt work to shift the stuff into the garage.
With Prussian precision everything is (of course) labeled/numbered and piled in the order the parts will be needed. It's what we in Sweden would call a "plockepinn" on a massive scale or perhaps an adult version of Lego.

1.6 tons to waiting to be shifted

Prussian "ordnung"

The day we erect the building there shall be no confusion and digging in the piles to find the individual parts.
Also I need to check that everything is there according to the inventory list.

Lastly when I opened up the stove to see it was not damaged, a smile spread over my face and I got this warm fuzzy feeling.
I could sort of see myself sit there in front of the stove, contemplating on life whilst gently feeding it with water...
