Started sealing
This is the english text for the entry below. Windows went haywire during
editing...
Sat with my kid and watched hockey until the middle of the night, so I didn't have the time to upload any photos yesterday. But you can have a little recap on the progress this weekend...
Went to the carpetstore on friday to borrow the welder. When my kid finally went to sleep for the night, all I had to do was settle myself in the terrarium to start welding. Or so I thought... When I opened the case there was a cornergrinder in it. They had of course given me the wrong case! Nothing to do except call it a night, then get up in time on saturday morning (yuck) to go to the store and switch cases. The manager there agried in that it would be hard to weld with a grinder! ;-) When I was in town anyway, i headed up to the supply store to buy some wetroom paint. Naturally they where out of it, but it should probably arrive on tuesday.
Took the chance to hang up the innerpart of the heat pump, when my kid took a nap. Would have been nice to have that in the terrarium instead! During the breaks of the hockeygames I went in to do some welding. Ohh man... I will definately hire somebody to do that for me, when I'll renovate my bathroom! The straights on the floor went reasonably well, once I figured out the technique, but not the seams on the walls. Will have to seal those with glue after! Since I weld aluminum at work I sat there as an idiot for quite some time, before figuring out that it wasn't the plastic thread that should melt, it was the edges of the mat! Learned something new at least!
Today I started to seal all the joints as well as the upper edge of the mat and around the creek. However the gluegun was pretty crappy since I glued with the rubberglue, so I'll have to continue that work tomorrow, after buying a new gun... Then we'll have to see what will happen with the wallpapers. Been in contact with the photographer today, and he has some pictures from Hoh River Rainforest that isn't quite done yet!

Börjat täta
Satt med grabben o kollade hockey igår till mitt i natten, så jag orkade inte lägga upp några foton igår. Men ni kan få en liten recap på vad som hänt i helgen...
Var iväg till mattaffären i fredags för att låna svetsen. När väl grabben däckat för kvällen så var det ju bara att gå in i terrariet för att börja svetsa. Trodde jag.. När jag öppnade lådan så låg där en hörnslip i. Dom hade givitvis tagit fram fel låda! Bara att lägg ner för kvällen, sen upp i tid på lördagsmorgonen (usch) för att sticka till affären och byta. Chefen där höll med om att det hade blivit svårt att svetsa med en slip! ;-) När jag ändå var i byn, så blev det en tur till Lantmännen (eller granngården som det heter i resten av Sverige) för att köpa våtrumsfärg. Den var givetvis slut, men skulle förmodligen komma in på tisdag.
Passade på att hänga upp innedelen till luftvärmepumpen, under tiden grabben sov middag. Skulle varit nått att ha i terrariet! I pauserna under hockeyn passade jag på att svetsa. Jisses... Det kommer jag att hyra in någon för att göra, när jag renoverar badrummet! Raksträckorna på golvet gick väl hyffsat när man väl fått in tekniken, men inte skarvarna på vägg. Blir till att limma i efterhand! Eftersom jag svetsar aluminium på jobbet så satt man nog som ett fån rätt länge, innan man fattade att här var det inte tråden som skulle smälta, det var mattan! Lärt sig något nytt iaf!
Idag började jag täta skarvar samt ovankant på mattan och runt bäcken. Sprutan var iofs ganska kass sedan man kämpat med gummilimmet, så jag får fortsätta med det imorgon när jag köpt en ny spruta... Sen får man se hur det blir med tapeterna. Varit i kontakt med fotografen idag, och han har lite bilder från Hoh River som inte är riktigt klara ännu!
