Hammock

Well, out of boredom I stated on Friday that I’d gonna go look for a hammock, since the beach chair quite isn’t enough. I went through every DIY superstore in Stralsund, but none of them had anything like I wanted (basically I wanted a wooden hammock, which would be able to carry me). Thanks to the Internet though, I was quite fast at a point where I found something (Amazon rules!)

At first I picked only a mat which I canceled right after I got the confirmation mail. After about 10 minutes I finally found a hammock with frame, which actually suited what I had in mind. Now, the excerpt on the Web page tells something about “Usually ready for dispatch in 6 till 10 days“. On Tuesday the hauler’s office called me at work (I completely forgot, that I supplied my work phone number as number during the day — which completely surprised me), they would like to deliver the hammock on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, they delivered the ~70 kg heavy crate, which we ferried with the wheel barrow to the rear part of the lot. Yesterday, my dad and I put the thing together and I had a first sun bath test.

So Joshua asked my why the heck I was doing that puzzle (OK, I said it actually is a puzzle) and here’s now the story for that ..

Diagnose: Bursted plaster

As you see on the image above, the plaster is completely bursted. The dome also started to get some crannies, so my parents decided to cover the whole plaster with pebbles. Only catchy thing about that is: you need to glue every single pebble (diameter ~1cm) by hand onto the cement. And that pretty much sucks.

Ok, so it took us about two whole weekends to cover the dome with the pebbles (don’t ask about my back, it was hurting like someone put a hot iron back there), next thing will be the substructure that also needs to be reworked.

OT: to compete a bit with ChrisWhite, I managed to catch another expression on my face:

Now guess, what pissed me off at that time ? *g*
