Where I am at in the Nurenburg / Rothenburg area it is right around freezing. Frost on the windshields in the morning, cool during the day, rained this afternoon.
Spent the day yesterday bringing in wood, actually, spent the day taking the wood off the stack, and setting it on the tablesaw one piece at a time in front of my BIL who then would shove the table forward, cutting the wood in half (1 meter pieces into two half meter pieces) he would then throw the two pieces on the trailer (pulled by the Fendt above) as I was loading on another piece of wood. LOOOONNNNGGGGG day. Oh, and the saw was powered by the
PTO of uncles Massey. Of course Uncle worked me under the table yesterday, and I had to check, he turned 80 this year.
Today I got to be the apprentice Maurer (stone mason). Spent the day working on a Grosse Baustelle (big construction site) as basicly step and fetch boy putting up big concrete forms for poured walls 2m high. Then we pulled a bunch of posts and big wooden beams out from under some previously poured floors. I wanted to be doing pflaster stine (paving stones) but his two meister pflaster maurer (master paving stone masons) are both out sick, One, another BIL has a slipped disc and the other a broke wrist so they are not doing pavers at the moment if he can help it. Still was interesting and I may do my basement with the same technique of pouring between two big forms. We had supper tonight with the owner of the company and talked about my house addition and what we needed to do. Hopeing he will come look at it and give some guidance.
Anyway, tomorrow is picture day getting ready to go home. Will try and get some good ones, everyone is plowing and seeding and putting the mist (cow poo) on the fields, the Sugar beets are mostly in and for those of you in the know, Kerwa is this weekend in Ergersheim so lots going on in the little Dorf here.
And over in Germany
