Time to update this page! Sad times in Stockolm with a terrorist attack on Friday. The positive thing is that most of the society is coming together more closely than before. As usual during the winter things tend to slow down. Maybe it’s the lack of daylight that drains energy. This was the third winter building and it has started […]
A new hope

Winter
Time for a short update from Sundby naturhus, I should make a proper entry about this autumns escapades too. But for now, some winter pics. Record snowfall in Stockholm 40 cm in one day during the week. Today the sun is shining but still a few degrees below zero. Most of the snow has slid off the glass roof. 10 degrees+ […]
Recycling!
After a hard weekend of infiltration bed building the first bed is operational! Ca 20 m³ of sand(0-8) mixed with peat on top of the EPDM rubber and drainage pipes. 15 cm below the surface are 4 pipes that spreads the water which then infiltrates to the bottom and is collected by the drainage pipes. Took some time and sweat […]
On the verge of summer
Long time, no update! We’re on the verge of summer now, finally more light and lighter evenings. All migrant birds are almost back, still waiting for the swifts and swallows around here. Trees are going green. Work has been ongoing on many fronts, house, growing beds, recycling house, etc. Late February we finally go delivery nr 3 from Palmatin. This time […]
Sun!
A short update from the site. Sun! The greenhouse is starting to work, just below zero outside, 7+ halfway up where the thermometer is, a lot warmer up at the top. Nice… Can I stay here?
Second winter
Winter… dark and cold, long time since last update. Now we are on our second winter of construction. I’ve had several long colds with bad cough that stopped a lot of work during November and December. Now in January I have finally been able to get things going again. Sadly I missed warmer weather during December when it was easier/possible […]
November
Time flies! It’s already November 20. Winter is close, below 0 today and dark outside at 4 in the afternoon. We’re trying to finish things that can’t be done in the winter. Mortar does not like freezing temperatures. Finished the leca blocks for the smaller “water” house at least. It will house water techie stuff and part of the water […]
Autumn
Autumn has arrived, time for an update. Crisp autumn days have replaced the summer, some frost has even turned up. Nice and warm in the greenhouse, today over 25 degrees. The roof of the garage is almost finished, now we need the panelling to continue. We’ve done some colour tests for the panelling on the house and garage, with unconclusive […]
Second floor
Some quick pictures of the status so far. Working on the second floor now and made some good progress today. At some places there are less than 8 logs to go. A few more logs in the garage then we get to open the last pack of logs. Another excellent day to havet the greenhouse, it has been pouring down […]
