Spot the difference

Can you spot the difference? We can assure you: it’s the same house. And it now has a fourth bedroom, study or guestroom where the carport used to be.

All credit goes to a sailor called Morfar (Swedish grandpa). Yesterday we waived him goodbye at the Airport, after three months hard 7-days-a week work. In November he started the reconstruction project by tearing down the carport wall and carving out all bricks one by one. Then the concrete slab came in and the frameworks were put up for the walls and window. The bricklaying resulted in a seamless overflow from the old to the new walls. Then the complete interior with plasterboards, insulation, ceiling, doors, electrical, carpet, air-conditioning and built in robes were brought in, finalised by a new paved sideway path with child-fence.

The result is amazing. Outside from every angle it looks as if the room has always been there. Inside it opens up the living room, bringing fresh light and lots of space into the whole house. We can’t thank you enough Morfar. Without a doubt the best Morfar in the world!

PS. And for those of you who know Alf: not bad ah, for a sailor? ;-)
