The broken stove

A year ago, and in the end of the season of 2017, our stove decided it had enough and gave up. To get spare parts would cost more than to buy a new one and therefore we decided to do a re-make the whole kitchen. The old stove, or should we say "kitchen island", was a combined stove + sink, plus a never ever used fridge. We didn't even knew if it was installed correctly from the beginning, so we took the safe before the unsafe and through that away too.





 


With all the old stuff away, we had to plan how to fit the new kitchen and also, how to save as much as the old woodwork as possible. The bench lid had previously rested on the stove, now we had to build up a framework to keep the old cover up solution.

Those were the days

The Swedish photographer Tore Hagman have done a lot of very nice photo books, one in particular is from the Swedish West Coast ( Västkust : från Nidingen till Koster ), published both in Swedish and English. There is some pictures from the hometown of Skäreläja and skipper Kalle (author of this blog, LLV member 809). And actually, most likely this Vera Skäreläja is on this picture. And if we take a closer look at the picture there's two interesting boats to have a closer look at. On the docks in front left, there's a wooden boat that belonged to Kalle back then. And on the Marstrand Island, almost in the middle of the picture you'll find "Vera LLV".   Keijo, captain and owner of Vera (LLV member 226), bought Vera in the Autumn of 2011. Kalle's father Petter did all the research and helped with the buying. Here's one of the first reports Petter sent back to us in Finland: Tyvärr glömde jag att fota toan, men den sitter i aktern.
