Our First Purchase: The Bathroom Sink

After looking high and low we have at found the sink for the main bathroom.

With limited funds yet a desire for a unique house we are definitely searching within as well as outside of Sweden and here is a picture of our prized sink from ebay, Italy.

Unfortunately, the sink showed up in 2 pieces.

Aldo Biggi whom we bought the sink from in Italy sent us a new sink immediately. It thankfully arrived in 1 piece.

I have asked Skip to make a bathroom cabinet out of reclaimed wood that looks similar to the cabinet below and I know it will go great together with our stone sink!

Best part-the cost for the sink, with insurance, shipping and handling from Italy, is the same as a white low end sink from Ikea! This time we are very happy we got the insurance.

Rockliden

We might have to rename Björkliden to Rockliden. We previously had an idea that there were a lot of rocks on our property but could not have imagined that a little landscaping would uncover so many.

Skip has started to dig for the new entryway, drainage and a new walkway to the house and the number of rocks found are out of control!

This is just a small sample of what we have unearthed.

As you try to mow the lawn you also dull the blades of the lawnmower on "small rocks" that stick up but they are just the tip of the iceberg. See for yourself!

This is what came up after a little digging.

Only to leave you with this. Looks like a giant mole came through!

By next summer the lawn should be back in shape and we will have magnificent rock walls everythere.
