our house

The frontside of our house and ...the backside.


The carport and the jeep. After the celebration of lights we had a joyride through downtown. It was fun cause there s a big subwoofer installed and the city was crowded.The punching bag. Tis was the backyard in early may. During my stay it changed a lot. There was only a BBQ grill and some benches. And there was this kind of net vor badminton. But there were trees, stumps and other stuff that was annoying.

It all started with a better badminton and volleyball net. Before Jesse and Eike removed the old stump.

Then there was a pedio set, a trampoline, a hot tub with a shower, skateboard ramps and soccer goals. Almost like a sports and fun park.
The kitchen as it was when i moved in. Now there are painted flames all around. Jesse did a nice paintjob.The living room. At the lower edge you can see the edge of the pool table.

And this was my room. For about a week a skunk woke me up every morning. It was directly in front of my window. (The room was only this tidy when i moved in and as i left. Normally it was full of my hiking stuff like tent, insulation matress and so on.)
