Some say that you should remove something for everything you add, but this counts mostly for interior items. But I wonder if this isn't a good idea even exterior. Anyway, I saw this as a symbolic coincident, that this house was deconstructed while I was building new. You spotted it right as I thought when I wrote the post, Mark.

Very thought provoking post - whether you meant it that way or not.

Now with some perspective, it's amazing how little I see of all work I really put into this. The shiny top layer completely hides all the underlying layers of work. It's like underwear, I guess. :-) Thank you, Anita! Now with some perspective, it’s amazing how little I see of all work I really put into this.

But, I think we all understood what you were up against an enormous workload. It is great to have you back, and you certainly returned with a memorable image and accompanying story.

It was not really as dramatic as in the picture, but it felt not that far away. :D Thanks, Paul! It was not really as dramatic as in the picture, but it felt not that far away. :D

I'm glad to see that you have returned. When I saw the photo, I thought: Oh, no! Ove's renovations didn't work out so well. ;-) And, yes, we did miss you! Ove, welcome back!

I guess I'm like Cedric to some extent, thinking who on earth would notice my absence. Well, I know a few IRL. :-) Andreas, glorious it was. There were two men who did everything in less than a week, including cleaning up and leaving the area as were it a newly ploughed field. Ray, thank you so much for your kind words. If you would have sent that email two weeks ago, I wouldn't have told you I'm okay, quite the opposite. Will be nice to stay here again, among all zeroes and ones. :-) Earl, I got all my limbs intact, but I can tell my shutter finger was severely wounded... But, I have managed to press the shutter again, so I guess I'm fine. :-) Markus, I really had aching muscles the first weeks, while I was tearing down walls and such, doing all the really heavy work. After a while, though, I felt quite strong. It was a pleasant feeling, quite another than the usual, and I'm usually quite fit since I have been used to run and workout almost every day. Anyway, It feels even better to get my hands on that camera again, much, much better. Oh, it makes me happy to see that you all missed me.

I think I know a little bit how you must be feeling with arms longer than they look and muscles aching that you didn't know you have them - I had my share of renovation work and don't want to have it back soon. And despite of trying to never leave out a photographic opportunity, at that time I barely touched a camera, and if so only for documentation.

I don't like construction work and leave it to my pals that do it for a living (we trade). Your images and ideas were missed, I was just on the verge of emailing to make sure you were ok.
