KOVÄNDNING

I Torsdags ringde vår representant från kommunen igen.
Han hade nu haft ett möte med några kollegor och de hade kommit fram till att vårt fall var
extraordinärt och därför beslutat att bevilja vårt bygglov trots allt.

Varför vår kommunkille inte väntade med att prata med oss innan mötet han haft i Onsdags det kan vi bara spekulera om. Makt, dramatik...

COW TURNING!
(swedish expression)

New day, new decisions..
Our guy at the county office had a meeting with some colleges and came to the conclusion that our case had some special circumstances. So they decided to approve our application after all.

Friends

My childhood friend E will move in to her brand new house just days before our "shell" will be delivered to our lot. We visited their "shell" last weekend.
Today they live in a house that is built 1875 so their exterior will defiantly change to a more modern look. We are jealous that they will soon be in their house. But they have had a long wait to, I think it will be around 1,5 year between signing the first papers and actually moving in. A little bite different from the house building market in CA. They will get a view over a Cherry blossom park, so we will make sure to visit them every spring from now on.

I helgen besökte vi våra goda vänners husbygge. De kommer flytta in i sitt hus med vy över en Körsbärsdal bara dagar innan vårt husskal kommer levereras till vår tomt. Körsbärsdalen får de dock vänta ett tag på, den är förtillfället en åker men finns med i detaljplanen för området.
Det är dock tur att de kommer ha en körsbörsdal vid husknuten för de kommer förmodligen inte ha några egna odlingar på tomten, förutom gräsmattan då ;)

8 Maj

We've arranged for the down payments of the house and the lot this week.

The most exciting house related issue this week, though, was todays visit to a newly built "Tenor" house. A very nice family gave us a tour of their new home only a week after they moved in. It was great to see it in reality, which will make it a lot easier to decide on future modifications. Both me and J sensed that this will be a great house for us.

So far so good! But just as we were about to leave A walked in through the patio door with a big rock in his hand....

.... lets just leave it to the fact that J had to hand over his business card for future reimbursements.

Big Thank You! to the G Family. We are really sorry for the inconvenience!

After looking at the house we went for a little evening picnic by the ocean. A insisted on going for a swim, but he changed his mind after dipping his feet's. For all of you that ain't familiar with the Swedish weather I should add that that May is defiantly to early for a swim in the ocean here. Usually there is only 2-3 months in the summer when it is even possible to go for a swim in the ocean. (of course there is people who do it all year around, but they are a little crazy ;) )
