Thanks a lot for all your nice comments!@MartinSK
Ahoj,
in Norwegian there's a special word – "kråkeslott "– that refers to an old, fairly large and more or less decayed residence. A direct translation would be "A Crows Castle", according to Google Translate. Is there a word for that in Slovak?

Having summer parties in the dinning area at the last level must be great!
Yes, in the summer it's great, but there's a slight problem: How do I seal it off during the winter? I have yet to find a solution.

I looked up The Night Gallery on youtube, and got some great ideas for re-decorating. The show was unfortunately not shown on Danish ( or Norwegian) TV.
We wanted to make something like the mansion in Dark Shadows, but we soon realised that our ambition was greater than our skills.
BTW: I can appreciate your issues with concrete houses. We had our house completely re-wired after we bought it, and the electricians frustration was duly reflected on the bill :)

In the UK those wood mats are called "duck boards"
Duck boards? Nice. So I learned a new English word today. But why "duck boards"? Because they tend to "quack" as they get old and soggy?

I have been working with this Danish director
Jens Jørgen Thorsen( the director) once declared "Jeg maler for at få fisse." - I paint just to get some pussy."
Well...?
