... a blog for comic friends (lots of text and even more "Bildli)
The past three weeks have been even more so eventful that prompt the writing was too short. We did not even have time to empty our mailbox. And that's really saying something, because your messages, encouragements and greetings are sacred to us!
To make it short: The ridge purlin fits perfectly and the angle fit (which is not only to thank me and Adi
). While working on the first gable, is us meaning in the sense that we do not know how much we have to do it. We remember still weak, that we would help the trigonometric function arithmetic here, but have no idea anymore how to do it. So we decide we wait, Ralph (log house guru, teacher and sponsor of our clutch bell), to ask for advice. And in fact we get a few days later, a mail with the necessary explanations. Many thanks, Ralph, for your express answer! (Other students have actually also questions and, if so, have you ever considered to employ a secretary?) In any case, we return confident with the corresponding formula in the bag on the building site back. Our optimism is short-lived. It turns out, namely, that neither have our pocket calculators were still on the laptop Winkelfuntkionstasten. Crap, time is running out, because in two days is to hang up the excavator the purlin. In our distress we pick up the phone and call Adis Joker to his father. He quickly added his yellow booklet formula (a relic from the Gymizeiten his sons ...) and the calculator at hand and barely ten minutes later, we are holding the requested information: If the gable height 1 
.89 meters. , we must admit: The Beginner's Luck "followed" on us. Random complements the amount of both solid wood gable with the strength of the ridge purlin absolutely perfect! time to celebrate the success of this important goal remains to us but little. Now it is the 22 (!) Prepare rafters. Quite a lot, but in view of the snowy winter months (this year the snow height of 4 meters!) Absolutely makes sense. We just have to place the sophisticated four-gable rafters before arriving Adis parents. They have been around a week in Canada and are looking forward now appears to us to actively support the building site
. And of course we are grateful for any handout. The attachment of the rafters is a threesome just already much better and faster. Adis and mother had taken a nurse can easily be a painter. Gertrude, Melchior: Thank you very much for your great help, the certification in a log cabin her locker gets! But as the saying goes: Work is not everything (or was it money?). In any case, we use the time together or for watching beavers in the canoe, cozy chat, exciting and impressive Jassrunden short visit with the whales. There we talk once again with Dominique, who has apparently intense regarding our offer log homes set apart (and still expressed a genuine interest - he has even shown us the proposed location). We'll see. 
On Wednesday evening we returned from the whales and said goodbye in Adis parents. We stayed two days in order to control boards, we zusägten rind from the boards to close the openings between the rafters. Last Saturday it was finally time. At eight o'clock we took the roof in attack. The required material was ordered and shipped directly to the building site. Despite some small margin (of a supply, the sheet was forgotten, at a certain mass of the other boards or the number not supplied), the atmosphere was great and the work went quickly. Adi and I benefited a lot, but we had no idea how to make a roof covers. (We had our little
hut covered probably with boards and earth.) At this point a very large MERCI to Pierre , the "chief organizer" of the roof, the infinitely invested much time, energy and effort into our project has to Annie that was always and everywhere with the patience and good humor girls for everything and we were spoiled at every opportunity with culinary delights, to Mario , of us with his humor, expertise, and his zwirbligen work force (despite Dyskushernie! ) to the side, stood at Sylvain and Johanne to us in their chalet granted asylum and a large part of the additional acquisitions, to Martine (Pierre's wife) who decided not to vacation with Pierre and we instead here in no man's land catered to Denis , who with his tractor and his followers always at the right time, right place was to Rodrigez and Mariette (the parents of Annie and Sylvain), who helped us with many kind words and all the others we mention here not by name, who helped us in any way! Only thanks to their 
r assistance, our log cabin to become what it is! The results speak for themselves really, and we are proud of our first album! Meanwhile Adi can imagine a life without power saw only with difficulty and is already dreaming of jobs in Switzerland. One morning Adichef even so engrossed in his Planerei that he did not notice until after half a cup, that the supposed Instant coffee was just hot water ...! (To be noted in its defense that the cup was dark brown.) 
two and a half weeks we remain until our return to Switzerland. We can tackle the whole, although now a little more comfortable, but there could still be one or the other to do. So we still have to make the false floor, which occupies the rear half of the house, the window and cut door openings, which saw two spurs on the home front, and make several small jobs and repairs. And - last but not least - we are next Saturday to celebrate a great topping with all our friends a la Asterix and Obelix, ie, suckling pig, wine and beer.
