tool time: dani k does it herself...

not all by herself of course! last sunday we (lukas, karin, martin, martin, dipl.ing. binder, and last but not least fr. binder) had the pleasure to help michi moving into her new flat which is in deed striking.
alas, as i learned yesterday: there is no free lunch.

meaning:
michi rents this gorgeous place...what a bargain! .... and all she needs to do is: move in.

no no...

it's not done with just painting the walls. you need to scratch off the hunderts of layers of old paint first (altbau). and this is what we did for hours. with big spachteln and smaller spachteln. producing dirt beyond compare ... well at least as far as the members of michi's working team had experience.

we haven't finished. it looks disastrous. but yesterday: michi and lukas have left for chile.

in a month "team östtereich" (have a look on the soon coming pictures) will resume work.

at least now i know why i have been keeping tons of old newspapers. and probably the editor of zeit knows that everybody has to paint walls and scratch off paint from time to time. thus the large format.

there is also no free lunch for michi: team österreich expects a house warming party. so much for that.

and even more spare time stress: vienne has visitors from greece: master and apprentice: george zoupanos and athanasios chatzistavrakidis.

but this story is to be continued some other time...
