Summer’s Here: River Ice Melt & Porch Build

It finnally happened! the river ice broke and drifted away! this means that the long winter is finnaly over! Within 10 days everything changed. After the river ice melt, nature came back to life. It's a beautiful sight you won't want to miss! Summer’s here, at last
In this video, we dive into #renovating our 100-year-old house. First, we move our greenhouse outside to free up some space. Then, we get to work on building a new porch, using some amazing used windows and a door we found. This porch build is going to be fun!
Come along for the journey as we document the river ice melt and our porch build, bringing new life to our historic home. Watch the magic unfold! Watch how we build our new lifes here in the North after moving to #Sweden. See what #Lifeinsweden is like

    My advice is to do as much as possible outside during the days that the weather is fine. I have never heard before of a boiler exploding, it was indeed lucky you were at home. edit I very well understand why they chose you to go to Germany, first of all, you speak the language and second you will be better able to tell the people how great it's to live up here, not so much stress, yeah distances are much more as they are used to but it's rather quiet on the roads as soon as you leave a town. and nature is so beautiful, in the winter it's like walking in a Disney winter wonderland, in the moonlight the snow lights up and shows a billion diamonds, every now and then the spirits dance in the sky when Aurora comes to visit us and in spring everything explodes, the people are much more helpful special when you come out in the countryside. A half year ago my aorta started leaking and later on, I had a stroke, I was rather new in the neighbourhood (been living here for 2 years, outside of Jokkmokk) I spent almost 2 months in different hospitals and when I came home the neighbours had locked my door (just like most people here I never lock it) they took care of my dog and mail, they even fetched some items I had ordered online. I have lived 37 years in the south of Sweden and there is just one thing about living in Sweden I regret, that is that I didn't move to the north before. I have lived and worked in different countries and moved so many times that I lost count but in the last 3 years, I have felt I'm finally HOME.

    Exactly this!!!! Everyone always asks us ‘WHY?’ ‘Why would you move here?’ And I point at the beautiful midsummer sky, the river right by their houses, show them the northern lights dancing in the sky, the nature, the peace and quietness, explain how nice and helpful everyone is and has been. Everything is just so beautiful up here! How can one not see it!? I guess it’s easy to take things for granted if you always had them but it’s so important to appreciate the things you have. It’s weird to say but even the netherlands, where I was born and raised never felt like a home. Here in North Sweden does though 🇸🇪😊 Not longing to leave but longing to come back. I never had that anywhere before I wish you all the best, stay healthy and greetings from the coast 🇸🇪 👌

    Good thought, but honestly I don’t think we will be buying from them again anytime soon. They advertise with ‘spend over 1000€ and get free delivery’ but then they charged 200€ for the ‘driver’ which apparently wasn’t part of the delivery 🤔 🤷🏻‍♀️

    @@Projectsweden Do you want to say the name of that company? Of course, I understand the situation if the delivery address is really far, the distance is tens of kilometers, but it is the seller's duty to tell about it immediately at the time of sale, but still the seller could give a discount on the shipping costs. It is a scam to say that the transport is free, but later it turns out that the driver is not free.

At that point we were tired and were just like ‘whatever lets just go with it’ It was 50km away, nothing extreme. It is ok, we went on with it.

    Thanks for taking us along on your journey. I would have thought the water heater would have had a pop off valve that instead of exploding allows steam and water to escape when it gets too hot. Also I was wondering about the building codes in Sweden. Do they have restrictions where you guys are? I have heard that the building codes in some countries in Europe are pretty strict. Just wondering.

    Good question, we’re so short staffed here in the north that we can’t fill up all the positions. And it’s hard to recruit people from south sweden to move up north. So we expanded our search area. I went there together with a german radiologist who himself also moved to sweden a while ago. Since Swedish and German are both Germanic languages, it’s quite easy to learn You do need C1 Swedish though to be allowed to work in the hospital
