It&#39;s about 40 sq. m, with a small loft and a boathouse below. It&#39;s a stacked timber house and the timber was transported by row boat. It took years to plan, prepare and build.<br/><br/>They had 12 kids in this house. 3 died while young, and 9 lived. His brother also lived there, so they were 12 in total.<br/><br/>Two of the daughters never married and lived there their entire lives. My dad renovated it in the 90s after it had been empty for decades.<br/> <img src="https://files.mastodon.online/media_attachments/files/114/337/926/752/608/764/original/3d11b2862e4b6a91.png"> <br/> 2025-04-14T19:26:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvjmsm6jrtj9y6vwg5uvndwju7efmc4zjzdzpwctepta29pgedrcszyqg0sps0etplw5hx60azr2w835pyhxeh5y98ur5fq5ece9zavltgzyg0eju I went back to my home town yesterday for an overnight trip, and this moring I drove to the small town my dad grew up in, which sits in a narrow Norwegian fjorth surrounded by steep mountains.<br/><br/>These images are from the innermost part of the fjorth where the two oldest remaining houses stand.

I just can&#39;t bridge the gap!<br/><br/>I&#39;m sure it will come to me.<br/><br/>#Writing #SciFi 2024-10-14T18:54:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgw8jyz74esq3cp28mqdj7ccy8d2hsn8ujxp0lqes4m47f8nchvfczyqg0sps0etplw5hx60azr2w835pyhxeh5y98ur5fq5ece9zavltgz43hqs7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8fpz96dk59wf673e9hr7s76y5wt5nz0uqyxhpun8ujamkgryuluc0yrsqz'>nevent1q…rsqz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sometimes other things you post have AI-images in it, like news articles and other links. 2024-08-15T12:20:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswqn78p9xfzuur6llugstn9lwj854xaqf9nyy95n9vgdjrg0hf57szyqg0sps0etplw5hx60azr2w835pyhxeh5y98ur5fq5ece9zavltgzp36qvc I just blocked someone for posting disturbing AI generated images without a warning.<br/><br/>Don&#39;t do that.

Neither side in US politics would do that. The US has always put itself above international law. 2024-08-09T08:56:19Z
