After some three months mail correspondence with the real estate agent our house is paid for and the contract signed. While searching the webarchives of the Drangedal history preservation project we discovered this old photograph of our house. We guess it to be a photo taken to document the newly built house since the sidings of the groundfloor, the store, are not yet painted. Not yet sure of the age of this house or the identity of the different people on the photograph

The lake is a bit too heavily populated resulting in fish which are too small for the seasoned fisherman/woman, but still great fun (and taste). Read More...
