    Lucky breaks on your sell in these days!
    Feel free to giva me a hoot if your times get really rough, and you find yourselves in a temporary Swedish exile (-Heaven forbid!).
    All the savage natives over here can be pretty harsh on any re-settlers, so a local scout/ sniper might come in handy...

    Our sponsor said if we do have to use Plan C, she has friends in Barcelona who will take care of us. Speak fluent English, Spanish, and Russian.

    Well, that's warmer than spending the winter in Sweden!

    But, hopefully the border really is open in August so we can get to our house.

    Just an update as they're wrapping up The Pit house. They're taping the windows ready to paint, the owners move in next month.

    Here's their wall finish:

    And since that house is costing $$$$$$$$$ compared to our new house, here our interior wall finish, inside and out... No character at all! All the inside walls and ceilings were done this way.

    Outside finish, still some salt on the bricks they haven't cleaned off yet.
