This summer while on holiday outside of Ålesund, my father-in-law found an old box smoker in the family matriarch’s garage. We took it back to Bodø. My father in law was given a catch of fresh trout and char, yesterday by a friend with a net out in a nearby lake so we went up the cabin to try the smoker out for tje first time…

Prepping:

Not a bad day for it…

Salted filet…

We had some fresh juniper in with the smoking dust…

Ready to go…

Its on…

The results…

Enjoying a calm, peaceful beer. Sort of.

This was the second run. Enough for lunches all week.

Pretty good day, all in all. Topped off with a tasty autumn sunset.

All of that–the smoked fish, the scenery, the sunset--looks absolutely delicious! What a great place to live...

It has its moments! Should be said that the previous week consisted of perpetual gale force winds and horizontal rain, with the occasional appearance of machine gun hail [emoji1]

It was a good day for sure! Nice to see all the Sunday pics. Chilling on the porch looks pretty great @732fraziea

Thanks @neph93, it was a real nice way to end a weekend of work. Even while I was work we have had some good weather this weekend so I can't complain!

What I/we, family and precious & talentuous local guy, did these last months…[emoji123][emoji12]
The construction of an annex to our cabin. Bedroom on the river side.  With Glass door XHS ordered. With a long wooden terrace on stilts. Other part will be to an atelier & wooden logs. Scaffolding removed last night. Yes!
Big press & priority was to be done with the rough. Winter is coming soon…and the winter there is...
It will be solar panels on one part of the rough. Very excited about that. It is my BB!
Now our local help + electricians will finish the job/project.

Norwegian building regs are boss. More on that from me coming to a new thread soon…

The annex looks strong and beautiful @hajduk .

And as I remember some winter pics of your cabin, covered in man-high snow, this durable construction seems especially needed.

I mean dang… that looks to be almost entirely 2x6 and 2x8s used for framing and joists lol [emoji23]

We have to have homes rated to 160+ winds here in hurricane alley, and most framing is 2x6 and 2x4 only.
