Sab0921 posted:However, after doing 2700 hours last year and on Pace for 2500 this year, I want the change - it's not worth it. We had a baby last week which was the final decision maker for me - I want a predictable schedule to spend time with little man. I figure he needs me more now than he needs me to gun for v20 equity where I'd miss the next 7 years of his life. Congratulations on the baby! Yikes 2700 hours is brutal regardless if you are single and 2500 hours is almost at the same weight class. I understand the need for a predictable schedule and you should gun for that on your next job. Good Luck!

Show closed tonight. Now I have to let go of my playtime as someone who pursued the arts instead of law school and return to the land of bad decisions. Motion for summary judgment in the morning.

My biggest regret in going to law school (apart from going at all) is that I did the Bachelor Arts/Laws (for those who aren't familiar, you study a degree of what I think is called liberal arts in the US/Canada at the same time as doing a Bachelor of Laws) rather than the Bachelor of Performing Arts/Laws. By the time I knew the latter existed, it had stopped running a year earlier.

Thought it was time for nice summer holiday post Well, here at the summer cabin it's sunny, dry and unseasonably warm. Unreasonably warm. Forest fires warm, which is fairly unheard of. My fair scandinavian complexion has struggled with the rigours of outdoor work as my doughy office worker carcass has been less than well suited to do my planned major improvement this summer, the deck:   You know what they say, the girls can't resist a big deck. Yessirree. Can't say I like anything better than a nice huge deck. Aaand it's done!    Unfortunately, the sad birch with its drooping limbs had to be put down, as well as the old pine tree lying next to the deck itself. This is now the view:  And this is now the trees:  They are going to be keeping me warm come winter. I gotta admit, I love me some nice hard wood. Speaking of warmth, thought I'd share a picture from the non-poop-burning outhouse:  That's the Crown Prince and his wife, Princess Sneakers-upon-Meth. They are a lovely couple. Traditionally, norwegians keep pictures of the King and Queen in the outhouse, but I'm something of a modern fellow so I've opted for the successor. Been strolling around the woods a bit, sampling nature. Naturally, we've loads of wild blueberries, they are already ripe.   Literally more than you could ever pick, everywhere. There's also a local delicacy (seriously, old people murder eachother over these), some cloudberries.  They grow in patches right next to the cabin. As well there's some lovely wild lingonberries (false, it's tyttebær, loving swedes) and wild raspberries, they grow right next to the cabin too.   Went for a short walk to the local lake, which is about five minutes walking distance.  It has got some very nice trout in it and is wonderful for swimming. On the way I saw some poop and naturally took pictures for you, as I understand you've an interest. This is moose, probably about a week old.  This is fox, about a day and a half old.  Both pretty much right next to the cabin. It's crowded around there. There's this lovely tree on my property, think I'll build a bench under it sometime. Looks grand. The white stuff you see around it is reindeer lichen (or more incorrectly, deer moss) which should tell you something about the annual average temperature and elevation. Yes, it's edible. No, it tastes like poo poo.  I also ran into this friend that rents space under my cabin.  Isn't she adorable? She looked right at camera when I took the picture  I think it's a Sitticus pubescens, but I can't be sure. The roof is coming in well, if a bit weed-filled, and yeah. Cabin's looking more and more done by the moment!  The entire roof is buzzing with bumblebees. So yeah, the cabin is going to be looking ready for its naming ceremony soon.  I've got this clock that's been grandfathered in:  That's a joke, it was literally made by my grandfather. He likes carving clocks, what can I say? We've started painting, this is one bedroom that's the darkest, the rest of the cabin is gonna have a lighter brown staining. The paneling takes staining very well.  So I'm enjoying the fruits of nature, and I hope you're enjoying your summer holiday as well! Cabin is going to be well and truly fit for living before the snows come, now, and looking the part as well. Hope you didn't mind the massive post, and please come visit some time!

Goddamn that is some plot. Is there a reason you want grass and plants to grow on the roof? Insulation?

incogneato posted:As someone who has been in this thread for a decade or so, this is unquestionably my favorite post to date. Probably shouldn't say that, or I'll keep you all updated. Thanks, though, that's very kind of you. Pook Good Mook posted:Goddamn that is some plot. Tradition is a big reason, although the plants and the roots do contribute significantly to the insulation. The reason the beams are there and the general construction is so beefy is because the roof is designed to hold tons and tons of snow in winter. It insulates very well, which is great because the wood mass and that extra roof insulation means you can heat the cabin properly once when you arrive and then it just stays okay warm with minimal wood burning. Another reason is more practical, in olden times they planted the roofs with fire insulating plants, plants that carry a lot of water to prevent fires from lightning strikes. Norway gets a lot of that. These days, however, the fire risk is mostly an inside thing. The aesthetics of it are another big reason, and also my grandfather uses his roof to grow extra potatoes, so I guess it's also extra farmland. But mostly tradition. It's a more than 1500 year old tradition, and it's worked pretty well so far. Some places in the country any other type of roof is literally not allowed used on cabins, it's all got to be torv. mastershakeman posted:That's rad Well... it was cheap. I also have to tweak the flue a little, it's not set up properly for stormy weather. The stove itself is actually quality though, it's a discontinued model I got on sale from Dovre ovens. It's 105 kilos, nominal effect of 6500 watts which is normally enough for 100 square meters. It's easily able to keep the cabin very warm. It's a so-called "clean burning" model, which means it gets as much out of the firewood as possible, we're talking about 80% energy conversion efficiency which is... really good. I'm pretty happy with it. As a plus, it'll look great once I'm done painting.

I swear, sometimes I feel like there's just no right answer with you people. (funny though, due to the elevation the trees grow really really slow up there. That thing is honestly probably over 300 years old. I took a much smaller one that was about the thickness of my arm, it was 50 years old) Nice piece of fish fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Jul 30, 2018 |

I do not think sufficient time has passed since my last lamentation of the entropy that is life, so I will spare all that indignity for now. I’m still basically in the same spot (knowing that many people in the world are in far worse spots).
