time has come: the bulk
weiz us again! For about three days, we can entertain us again on your mood on Lozärndütsch to sleep in our own bed, the morning bite into crusty bread and comfortable with our old Opel Astra curves through the area. Adi I leave the pleasure of a ride, and confine myself on opening the garage door. But somehow no longer seems the car to his "lord and master" used to be and the bucks start huge. With each test, the plate carriage bounces closer to the front wall of the garage. As the bumper just millimeters from being there on Adi discouraged. I did my part since the Petrol history or a score to settle and wants to polish up my image a bit. So I dare a last attempt to start the car. And lo and behold, trouble-free as ever, it starts and can be obedient to steer out of the garage. Adi is incredulous wonder and slightly confused next to it, finally, because a woman is sitting at the wheel. Well, my dear Adi, what the tumble of the start button, which is the manual transmission car containing the coupling ;-)! But back to our last three weeks in Canada: The topping w
ar so to speak, the go-ahead to a brilliant final sprint. In addition to many smaller (but, unfortunately, often time-consuming) work were still the insertion the windows and doors. There were two reasons why we were so so late. On the one hand, our cabin or even our log cabin at the request of Johanne and Sylvain was higher and more complex than originally planned. This had also meant that we had to beat again in mid-July a dozen trees. On the other hand, did the two very hard time with the organization of windows. They could not understand how important it was mainly for Adi to stop the project, ie to let a house with a roof, windows and doors back. When they came back then from the three-week vacation in France without having ordered the promised window (three to five 
weeks for delivery are common in Canada and there), pulled us out of patience. We were very close, vacate our earlier material together to take trouble, three beautiful holiday weeks. Thanks Annie and Mario did not do so. Short decided they ordered two windows and a door. Merci beaucoup! We were, therefore, covered the roof and celebrated a topping that would have even the Gauls with envy can 
pale. In this period we also visited my parents who retired this year, "rang" with a seven-week trip to Canada. For them was only half time and after three weeks in Western Canada by motorhome, they enjoyed the three quiet days for us obviously. Thank you for the way we have to "get out" found! We also enjoyed the time with you! And so arose towards the end but still containing some frantic minutes for a
lles what decency 
could be done. The insertion of the windows were designed to be less difficult than expected, only at the door, we were again facing a small problem: she was too high. We would have to saw through a log with a supporting role that seemed ill advised. Mario therefore make a quick decision left a door to measure. And because time was short, he had the good carpenter just times three days, with the warning: "If not by Thursday evening is finished, I paid you!". It worked so we could spend our last night in the Canadian bush in a completed log house with two windows and a door. (The remaining windows will be installed next year.) stay in front of our Abfl
ug us on Thursday, two days in Quebec, we ship to say goodbye to all our friends, make car number, material, ... good. Everything goes so fast that we hardly have time to realize that our Canadian adventure is definitely over. The upcoming trip home, we see a mixed blessing contrary. We know that since the story in London, the safety regulations were tightened again. And they promptly take us in Quebec before giving up out of the luggage. In the large duffel bag 
they have discovered a suspicious object. The next 10 minutes are spent clearing out. In a wild confusion there are maple syrup, solar panel, dirty underwear, books, ... to light (not for nothing that the tax collectors wear gloves). Only the ominous thing is gone. Finally, see also the tax collectors that we have no hidden bomb in the luggage and let us go. We, or Adi come, but not far. When people check it is position just sampled before we can enter. And so it should go w 
pus. For each pick, change the tax collectors Adi out, pull him off his shoes, touch his feet (which it already put about 24 hours in the same shoes ...), take his picture. Adi makes the best of a bad job, ultimately it would be negligent to let such a muscle-bound karate as to pass unchecked, he says ;-) (I lead the whole back more to chance, his black hooded sweatshirt and maybe his hairstyle -. for the latter but I myself am responsible) Nevertheless, we reached Zurich on schedule and are Taxi drivers and Matteo Adis parents with poster, flowers and minibus received (molto grazie!). is settling in the home are anything but heavy and the jetlag is quickly forgotten, with all the calls, SMS and spontaneous short visits. At this point a very big THANK YOU to you all (family, friends, colleagues)! Thanks for all the lovely e-mails (some of which are unfortunately still unanswered, sorry :-(), for mental support, encouraging words, the reading of our adventures, the tenterhooks along
and compassion, the spontaneous Phone calls and visits from the distant home country! A heartfelt thank you, we also want the Grisons for company Off-grid systems to send Mr. Hassler . Thanks to its powerful and totally travel-friendly solar panel we were during the last five months, sometimes a little energy, but never dead! Toll also that one problem could be resolved as quickly and without bureaucracy. (Who wants to know more about solar panels, which the page was info@offgridsystems.ch emfpohlen.) And last but not least, here again Ralph Pfersich mentioned without its price, book and written and oral advice nothing came of our project would be! It was impressive, instructive, exciting and eventful five months. Who knows what will happen next. Perhaps there is a chance to work here in the
Switzerland in this area. In any case, we were not the last time in Canada. We will pay our block house every now and then a visit there and enjoy some vacation days! Hey, by the way: if you want to contact us, either with respect to questions, comments, ideas for log homes or, more generally, to achieve our time in Canada, we either blockhuette@hotmail.com or at telephone number 041 534 32 30 We look forward to feedback of any kind!
