In the news

[1948berg]

I wrote a letter to a leading newspaper in Norway, complaining about the stupid home interior design coverage in the paper.
All the time interior design ladys showed off their cold design homes. I complained that they newer showed normal peoples homes. A month later they phoned and asked if their jornalist could visit us. We said yes, and here is the result.

Is that you and your home in the pictures? I can not read it but I can look at pictures just fine

Hey, that's pretty cool Gunnar. Nice pics and nice looking place too. Is this your "15 minutes of fame"?

Guess so, and I already spent 14 of them!

Absolutely wonder home you have. Prove a home has to stand the test of time and provides the bases for a great family lifestyle. Today痴 homes with all the plastic this and that are just houses. Just drives me nuts to hear them say it is maintenance free being the reason for plastic siding, window finish trim, baseboards, you name it!

Just love the pictures and only wish I could understand the writing. Your wife could be a home designer for sure.

Nice article! I can read every word of it- I just can't tell what the words mean! I like looking at the pictures, though.

Yep, it's Gunnar's place...I recognize the display plates from previous posts.
Cool place, Gunnar...thank you for all of your posts!

There is a saying, "Be careful what you wish for. . . ." It sure looks like your wish came true. Like everyone else, I wish I had a translation, but I see the name "Gunnar" sprinkled about.

After I built my house, I sent some pictures into the company I had bought the plans from. They put my house on their cover (lower left inset) and did a brief article inside. I was pretty pleased.
