Is that a car??? Naaahh...



....yuk...errm...well...that is our company car...unfortunately...and it´s crap...yup...mega crap...so much mega crap it takes global proportions...hell, send this crap car to China and we will have a WW3...
I was kind enough to cover the plates a bit (I heard it´s the right thing to do)...I don´t wanna get my life threatend...people might track this...umm...car...down, and throw bricks at us driving it...or rig it with heavy explosives...or even nuke it from orbit...I don´t want that....the...*sigh*...car can have it...but me and Mr. Beaver don´t wanna be a part of it.
We are already feeling bad enough for driving that heap...no need to make it worse.
So...it´s a....Volvo...maybe I should say...it USED to be a Volvo....278 years ago...it´s whitish...I can´t really say...greyish rustish whitish...you tell me.
It makes all kind of wierd noices...the gearbox is about to kill itself...I have to use brute force to get the 2nd gear in...sometimes the gearshift ends up in the palm of my hand...yup, you can call it 'connection problems' ;)
The servo (steering aid thingie) works when it feels like it...luckily I got very very strong arms ;)
Put the pedal to the metal is an unknown fact for this....heap...nothing happends...well...besides slurping tons of gas.
The gas meter lives it´s own life too...full tank, empty....half...who knows...stop and ask a innocent pedestrian is probably just as accurate.
The breaks works...ok...the snow tires works...not so good...it get kind of slippery.
Bah...I could go on and on about this...car...no, that was far to kind...crap-ass-stinking-shit-load-heap-of-french-mustard-wreckage...it´s embarrassing god dammit...hrmpf :(
We got some pride here...
Hopefully the big Boss will get rid of this....thing...and give us a PROPER car to drive around...
To be continued.......

The End....hopefully ;)







YAY...the freaking garage is finally finished...sort of...we can´t finish the tiling on the roof since the darn customer wanted us to use some old crappy tiles from 1000BC...and it was´nt enough of it anyway...stoopid....

But hey...the rest is finished...tadaa :)
The lights is not our work though...but it looks nice.
So...if you are in need of a new garage or even a house...give me a call will ya...me and Mr. Beaver here (handsome dood in the pics) will fly over and put a kick-ass house together for ya in no time at all...but it will cost ya...it´s not cheap hiring professionals like us ;)
Next job for me is to make a bunch of windows...meaning indoor work...YAY...I was getting a bit tired of working outside regardless of the weather...but fresh air is good for ya so I shall not complain.
Oh...almost forgot...me and Mr. Beaver (it´s an alias btw) are very fond of singing when we work. We usually take famous songs and make our own lyrics...silly lyrics too, just to make it a bit more fun...and guess what...we are now totally famous in Sundborn...hell yeah. I believe EVERYONE living there heard us...not intentional...but a woman came by the other day, her dog was exercising here I guess, and said...
- Oh...nice work....but I miss the singing.
Huh?? Did she hear us?? Everything??? ALL the songs?? Oh...ehe...poor lady...she is probably in need of professional help now...and a ear transplant...
Maybe we should put a hat on the ground on the next job...we just might get rich ;) People will travel from all over just to watch and listen to THE SINGING CARPENTERS....what a hit...it can´t go wrong...we are soooo handsome too...
In my next blog I will show some pics of our company car....THE car...the car no one else wants to be caught in...and we got it........so stay tuned folks....it aint going to be pretty....
Carry on......

Superheroes...gotta love em ;)

Spiderman....my childhood hero :)
I bought every Spidey magazine I could get. I had em all...man was he cool. Ofcourse I read Superman, Hulk, Daredevil....even Tarzan...but no way in hell they could beat Spidey in coolness and attitude...Spiderman was, and still is my no 1. superhero ALL categories....spidey rocks :)

But the movies (I believe there is a old crappy Spidey movie out there) sucked....comic ones counted.
So guess who bought the NEW Spiderman movie on DVD 1st day it was out??? Yup...me ;)
I felt like that little boy all over again...watching my hero climbing walls and doing some seroius web swinging....WOOHOO!!!!

Spiderman 2...the same.....bought it....

Spiderman 3...yup, bought it and love it. He is still the coolest superhero in the world.

And guess what....my 4 year old (4,5 to be exact) loves him too :) I know I know...he´s a bit too young to be watching movies like that....but I try to fast forward the ugly parts.

But we sit like to little kids (one a bit bigger than the other though) with BIG smiles on our faces and just loving the show...spidey rocks...we know it both of us :)

After watching we run around...mostly kiddo though...playing Spiderman and throwing web on eachother....I gotta admit...it´s fun...hehehehe.

What can I say...I am a big child...but damn it´s funny.

Another table...oak again ;)


Well...this time I only made the top....but it´s oak...treated with ammonia to get that old brownish look....
Let me say something about working with ammonia....
My mentor and former partner told me the trick with ammonia on oak. Oak got a substance called Garv syra (swedish name) in it....some sort of acid (oak splinters sting), so when you apply ammonia the acid reacts and starts to age instantly. This is an old trick...back in the days the put oak planks or battens in a tent and a cup of ammonia...and voila, 24 hours later the oak looked a 100 years old.
Applying it with a cloth or a brush is just speeding things up...now...
Said and done that´s what I was about to do. Ammonia smells a bit...actually, ammonia 25% concentration smells horrible...I found that out making this table top.
I opened the fresh bottle and started to apply it and....GOD DAMN IN HELL WHAT THE F*** JUST HAPPEND!!!!!!
My whole body said - NO NO NO NO....GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE....man what a rush...I could´nt see nor breathe....no mask on me stoopid retard.
But I had to finish or else the top would have been destroyed.
I had to hold my breath, splash on some ammonia, run across the carpentry to breathe for a sec....run back...splash some more...run away...gees...honestly, I thought I would die. I have never felt a body chock like that before, and god knows I have been in some pretty serious accidents.
Ammonia that concentrated puts your system into chock...believe me. 20 minutes AFTER I was finished my new boss came. He opened the door of the carpentry and had to get out after 1 sec.
- Did you work in there....he said....well....yeah...doh.
So...next time some darn customer wants his/hers oak table treated with ammonia I will damn sure use a big ass mask....with oxygen tubes....a whole freaking space outfit...cause no way in hell I will put my body through that again.
Stay away from ammonia...only weightlifters and stoopid carpenters uses that ;)
Carry on.....

Garage thingie!!!!


There you go...a garage with a carport...almost finished. It would have been done and ready if the freaking weather could stay in shape...but nooooo....heavy snow and insane rain....yummy :(
It´s NOT fun doing roof work in a blizzard...it gets slippery....no bull ;)
On top of everything we are short of tiles...the customer wanted us to use some old tiles they have saved from some old house...nice...3 different sizes (not good at all) and crappy...cheap bastards. If we would have used NEW tiles...concrete ones...we would have been finished in a day...but noooooo....use them old-crappy-shit tiles instead...good thinking....NOT!!!!
Here´s a good tip....when you want to re-model your house or build something new....DO NOT GET CHEAP ALL OF A SUDDEN....that costs money...believe me. Old crap is OLD CRAP...period.
Too bad many customers think they will save money by for instance using old tiles...but it might get way more expensive in the end. The work hours will increase...and the finished product will be....well, not it´s best.
Take my word for it...build new, use good material.
Carry on..........

*Somewhere, over the rainbow*




Greetings fellow gentlemens...and ladies ofcourse...if there are any stupid enough reading this crap...suit yourself...just don´t sue me for lost time and braincells ;)

Anyhow...here are some pics from Sundborn, that´s where we are building this garage...but one day we had a bit of rain and voila...a beautiful rainbow showed up.
How sweet...but dammit...I ran like a mad moose to the rainbows end...or beginning...I really don´t know wich...ah well, BUT NO GOLD???!! WHAT??! What a total bummer!!! No gold...plbrt...what´s up with that?? No gold...hrmpf...BAH!!!
I felt like a complete sucker...with my mad moose run and all...I even knocked a couple of cows over just because they were standing in my way...stupid cows....stole my gold...I bet they did...damn cows...
But still...a beautiful rainbow...a double one too....
I will soon show some pics of the garage too...it´s not finished....but almost ;)
Carry on......

Just some ranting!!!!

Ok...here we go....

I used to play Battlefield Vietnam...LOTS...the team I am a part of was a BFV clan...uptil now that is.
Now we run Battlefield 2 on our server...and call ourselves a BF2 team.

Now...in BFV I was a chopper nerd. Man I loved those choppers :) Especially the Mi8 (vietnam chopper). It was a bit clumsy...but man did I master that machine. The US side had Huey Gunships, also very cool choppers, more agile than the Mi8. But I could outmanouver a good Huey pilot in my Mi8...bragging my ass...I killed everything...period ;)

I did shots you would´nt believe. I went head to head with 2 Hueys WITH gunners and took them out...not always, but if I saw them 1st they were dead. I could hit a bugs ass from a mile...and planes...some plane pilots accused me of cheating when I killed them from impossible angles. I was really really good at it....honest to gods truth, no cheats, no hacks, I rocked that Mi8.

Hueys also became a good friend of mine. I did some awesome stunts in that one...2 Mi8´s had a rough time taking me down. If I had a good gunner I could stay alive for a whole round. I did faster landings/re-loads than most...I rarely got bombed during re-load...almost never actually.

Why this WC of bragging then??? Well...like I said, I play BF2 these days...there are choppers there aswell.
BUT GOD DAMMIT....the choppers in BF2 are lousy, boring and agile as my old Volvo. Vehicles in general in BF2 are stoopid.
Everytime I play WITH vehicles I get pissed off. So many vehicle whores out there in the world of BF2.

So I am now a infantry dood...pretty good too ;) Not the best, but I will deffo put up a fight.

It´s not until now I understand how boring it is when someone sits in a vehicle they master, killing everything in their way. Now I know why so many players got mad at me in BFV.

So I play infantry now, I do NOT wanna spend 2 years learning how to master the choppers in BF2...I don´t wanna be a vehicle whore again....been there, done that.

Infantry rocks...more fair that way.

See ya on our server on infantry nights (sun-wed)....keep an eye out for [TE]DaddyCool...I will be there doing some seroius killing :)

Carry on..........
