my house and my workshop: I built my house with workshop 1976-77, the office-building with guest room 1985. The house is built of wood and more than a half of it is my workshop. Totally about 300m2. The house is beautifully situated in the south part of Vansbro, a small village with about 2000 people in the west part of Dalarna. I have a small garden and a plant house. The river Västerdalälven is 150m far away. A quiet and silent place. Sometimes I can see elks and roe deers outside the garden. In the forest nearby there are wolfs, lynx and bears. |
