Falling way behind on the blog, sorry

It's been a fantastic summer. Eventful in some ways, and completely non-eventful in others! We have just finished nearly 6 months here on Aspö. Next comes a totally new adventure back in the USA.

I promise to catch up as soon as I can to talk about all of the changes in our lives and what's next for our Swedish home.

In the meantime, I've finished a summer photo album with all of our highlights. I'm happiest about our project to extend our roof. It projects out another meter now so it balances with the deck, and provides us a lot more rain cover. I've updated our header photo to show the new roof, I think it looks great.

I'm also happy with my gutter installation at the back of the house. I did that one all by myself! We have two 200 liter tanks to capture the runoff, and they fill up quickly with even a short shower. That water will come in handy for watering plants, washing the deck, etc. We won't need to use well water for those uses anymore.

Lastly, the cable for our fibre internet was dug just before we left. All we need now is for the fiber to make it up to the house, and then it can be installed inside readily. Fingers crossed!
