Things come in the way..
November 30th, 2008
We came home earlier than usually on friday, the car loaded with food and stuff that i’d ordered via internet on thursday. To our surprise we found that the fridge was no longer cold and would not get colder no matter how high we tuned it. The frozen pizza’s were soft so we baked them on the wood stove (the oven does not work) wrapped in silver folie.
The next day S drove to Gent and came back with a masonry who would make our new chimney. He knew the guy from den overkant. The bought all the material before noon, broke down the old chimney and started the new one. It was one third ready before the darkness fell.
Today it rains. All the seams from the bricks that were built yesterday were broken during the night because of freezing. That says it all. The work is postponed but they managed to make the rooftop watertight and setup a temporary solution with the aluminium inner pipe. We can try the heating with coals.
The good thing about the fridge is that we’re still on guarantee. Until monday. :)
