Kates Playgrounds The Chair

The house of Peter

I stroll through my town and suddenly I find myself again prior to Peter's house. Peter and I were neighbors for years. Actually, we had no real neighbors, for I have indeed lived in the house next to Peter's house, but Peter himself has not lived in his house. Peter does not live in his house, he builds it. I am at that time, the end of 2003, moved next to the house of Peter, as he has already built his house. Now it's soon the end of 2008 and Peter is still building his house. The reasons, of course, and that good!

Peters house is quite old. Peter's house is much as the oldest timber-framed house far and wide, with "far and wide" I mean granted the Palatinate and a little bit further. From when it is, I can not exactly say, although I did it to me by Peter more than once can be explained. It's just too complicated, as I could remember. I believe that the outer walls are in the back of the house the oldest parts. It was then extended upwards a bit, then forward to the street, half-timbered walls were replaced by stone walls, stairs and to be taken down and fitted with windows open corridors. And all this since 14 Century: always here a while and then as a play. And stuck somewhere in there also remains of the previous buildings, which are of course much older. One might say: "Peter's house is on average 532 years old." but that hits the truth again not accurate enough. When I go to the next time Peter, I'll take a pen and write it on everything meticulously. would rehabilitate

Because Peter's house is so old, and because Peter is happy where ever possible, historically accurate, the building also takes a long time. Since are not simply pulled steel beams and drywall walls in front of it. Peter has namely an antique shop and restored furniture - chairs, cabinets and such. And just as carefully as he restored his cabinets, he renovated his house. After all, it is the oldest timber-framed house far and wide, and we live here is not in America, where a 100 year old log cabin is already a historic treasure.

So what does that mean?
Take masonry. Stone walls with plain mortar. Peter says: "People back then are not simply down to the hardware store and have bought bags of cement mortar was expensive and the people were poor.." That makes sense! Peter has seen surviving parts of the wall from this period and studied. Thus he came on it, as it was then made: The people have put stone upon stone, with mortar between them, and then they pushed small quarry stones in the joints to squeeze out as much of the still damp mortar again. The squeezed Mortar was then recycled back, and so you can sit down with a bag of cement a giant wall. Awesome! I would have thought of it. Peter has come on it and has brick walls in his house built like that. So, and otherwise under any circumstances!



Another example, same site: Truss
Peter had ordered a company that knows how to create timber-framed walls. A specialist company, so to speak. The boys then moved on with heavy equipment: Mountains of willow branches for the braided, tons of mud and straw gehächseltes for infill. To this end, a cement mixer to mix straw and clay. A huge spectacle in the Metzgergasse: City leaders made with tourist groups detours, just to show that and to the construction workers are at a little in the way around - great cinema!

Peter had in the meantime quite clever. You could say that he may devour many years all that there is a specialist literature on timber-framed buildings in the Palatinate. In my life I've never met someone who so absorbed in such a topic is so doggedly makes smart. In short - or "not good" as the wife would say of the Heritage Foundation - the company had not done what they had done at the time of the historic building a house: the company built the vertical struts of the truss from the battens. Historically correct but would have been split oak stick. So Peter tries to save what can still be saved, and build the rest of the web of timber in the yard split oak sticks themselves. So, and otherwise under any circumstances!



Woman of the Heritage Foundation is driving the insane. "This is never done!" she says. "I just want to see that at least the outer walls are plastered and painted, otherwise I reiterate the grants!" threatens them. But Peter gather first in peace in the area, leaving the sandstone samples in a pigment mill grind. He fiddles with the natural pigments around for so long until he has inspired the color of the historic plaster seized painting remains to some extent. So, and otherwise under any circumstances! The fact that the painter is not for me hammer out exactly the way he presents it makes him despair. If the woman would be the foundation not previously been so sour, Peter probably would have knocked all the plaster, newly plastered and then painted himself.



Peter used of course not a standard windows from the factory, glued to the glass timber cruising. It is not just for carpenters and ordered windows of Carpenters ausmisst, designs and builds. This has the interested reader can imagine at this point already. Peter researched for each individual construction of his house then the usual type of window in the scientific literature. He carefully made to drawings, and then lets the window by the carpenter to build one. Each window of his house is unique, which is suitable only in the window opening, and only in this construction phase. Even the glass and the material match the surrounds of the windows to the last drop and lead to the last peg. Only in this way, and unlike in any case! And if once hinhaut not exactly sold Peter the appropriate window again and can build something better.

this care I think is great! In New Town were in the 70 years of historical preservation committed crimes for which I now prefer the perpetrators would still be historically correct quartered on the square of four large Kaltblüterpferden alive. About these crimes you will grieve or in 100 years. About the rehabilitation of Peter's house you will speak in New Town in 100 years, yet happy. It does not only put forth a lot, they did so, certainly learned much new about medieval craft techniques. This redevelopment is a monument to Peter. I wish I could take him for once in the arm, and tell him how much I love him for it did. If possible in the presence of women from the Heritage Foundation. Whether you would understand that?



The outer walls and the window of Peter's house is the way finished. Looks really very, very great.

To the infinite history of the Scottish Rocks, denichseitjanhmhmmhm to unterbräächen, is the occurrence of a beloved little Reason bissl attention.

beginnings come suddenly. Sometimes, this jerk just a gentle breeze, which, however, inherent in a storm powerful force, or he is a fine, but certain cracking, like that of a withered branch, that old all over again, however, clear cut and yet to hear of it is that it to hear, or he is like a crack in the atmosphere, would it be colored, flash in rainbow colors would. Beginnings gather as an entire history of the silk trail of a dark wedding dress in a crackling ball of pleasure and throw the material high up into the light where it is new in a light color and light unfolds. Beginnings can be seen not only in temporal dimensions. They are limited on space sometimes. There they are, however, difficult to identify, but the word pair "here" and "there" as the beginning not as well known as that of "old" and "new" if they are not explicitly specified it: "here is new and there the old ".
What is this if you please to do with assistance? Well, those are my words and my person is inseparable from the concept of personal assistance. Incidentally, this is a third variety of start: The override (in texts), in this context, but more like a dense interweaving, a kind of emulsion - it would take away a component that would return a stale or meaningless rest, at least one substance which completely missed the intention of pursuing.
All life is a pinpoint moments in which a gathered silk ball flies through the air.
passes it as the law of attraction. It can be a law and it can be used as a law, but usually you find yourself merely as a piece of the puzzle back in the constellations of the moments in life and can only smile about it, that the law is not yet escaped.
would keep me ready for the umpteenth time the café over there, what I can see how I cry in the forest? The cafe is over there I often like the mirror in which we see the shape that looks to him. That sounds very banal. But do I account the fact that a situation in which I get, also may be a reflection of my mental state (and beyond is no escape from side perversity or similar distortion), the matter shall be confused. I think, to know who looks in the mirror. I look pure, but a fool stares back, I probably ask me if I am a sheep and it might not know? *
was sure, it just another half channi that reached from the side of my ears, but this was such a warm fresh and simple non-binding offer I was tempted to invent an excuse quick so I can take it. A little later, I turned to the voice - with a job offer . I have quite a few assistants and set them on their most excellent skills, which deepens both parties for the joy of contact and on very creative results. This voice did not fit into my concept. I heard a faint clicking noise. Joaquim heard it, too. Now I've
a wonderful wizard more. A full of wonders! A new type of employee recruitment was ... It was a handle in the middle into life. In the few moments after those words to which I respond usually allergic or I do the same numb spots, so was a start. Some people will say now, of course, which was a pure stroke of luck. It could have been able to get quite different. I think me not at all, and what speaks to my theory, however, is simply that's what.
It comes from now and before that a truly unique duo makes it more colorful streets of Zurich: A woman in a wheelchair on a blue motorbike and a man on a skateboard, who holds the handles of the wheelchair and can move. Or even to a handle, then he goes on his skateboard in the squat, swings in Seitenwagenpose and the two talk.
Even more I have of what is to draw conclusions drawn on what should be. Housewife philosophy? So, I've come into the full life now and get back a piece full of life! The Pilotprojäckt thank, for any life I can handle otherwise be forgotten. So we are already at a concert down in the literary café that Joaquim had ever shown me first. By motorcycle, of course. And per skateboard.
course, everything is much more complicated. The Projäckt came just at the moment where my need for assistance increased significantly. In order to calm some managers: Joaquim simply helps all, we are now so no fun-focused irresponsible and sometimes a very unpleasant sound term assistants Helped pair as it should be ... Why do I feel at all that shredded my life so still so much appetite for mischief? Even now? Again and again? And I just grab someone who is still completely unaffected by any industrial supply care about spirit.
What the poor, overtaxed police officers will say that we are out waving at some point? After all, we remain very good, when the lights are red and green for go just over the crossing. For the many twisted necks, we are not responsible for them. Joooaaahh! Since Si döffed but nöd! reverence for the wheelchair and anger (or envy - at least a mortal sin ...) the bird free skate: a interesting mix!
The attentive audience has of course, immediately noticed that the title of this blog entry is not from me. Joaquim has modeled it after the last Moule ausgeschlürft unmoved and the views of the lake was quiet again. There are several ways that lead to the same realization that you now have irretrievably messed with the chemicals in the body or twenty can wave to forty-five with the dashing society far only by very much. They lead to a statement that actually wake of the intelligence-pubertal phase of each spirit is, a truism: Life is now, at this moment . And that life is always a dress rehearsal and performance is at the same time may be a sign on it, how precious the present moment is where you tried, where you want to go.
"is ruining the reputation of times to finally openly's lives," said Wilhelm Busch, and so I wait confidently for the moment where the police will stop the motorbike owners / skateboard duo. Sometimes it is wonderful to fall through all the stitches. Especially if the company has previously pressed me so thoroughly through the net with their cramped fummligen hysterical helpless illogical posturing. Now I fall again, because I want it!

Paper Glider Itouch Cheats

2nd The road to Speyerbrunn

I stroll through my neighborhood and this time I do particularly like - to just two wheels. Between my legs and grumbles mumbles the 1100 V2 engine of my bikes - inside a big, comfortable chair with a whole herd of horses. I zuckele leisurely through the valley Elmstein to slowly pull me out of homes red sand stone over, then the delightful Speyerbach with its meanders in flowery meadows, then forest with tall trees. It smells gorgeous on the resin, just as if the good Lord a perfume of pine, Douglas fir and spruce creates and then poured over the Palatinate Forest. It is warm, the sky is blue as ink. From time to me is another Mopped brand "Japanese yogurt cup with as many cylinders and as many horses," contrary to or outdated grouching with me screaming engine. When they approach the screaming engines of a higher frequency than when they move away from me. Doppler effect as from the physics book.



Who knows the Elmstein valley knows that this is not without its dangers. The valley is beautiful, but windy and at times quite confusing. He that roars by on a motorcycle, lives even dangerous when he has mastered his machine perfectly. You never know what lies around the next curve or stands and brings to the falling down: a handful of pine cones, perhaps, has sent a particularly potent type in the wide world to establish new forests, or a few lumps of earth, from the followers of a stretcher like a piece of tree trunk, gekullert of one of the many timber trucks or just a Mopped with a breakdown. And then is good advice. Therefore, the district administration has decided years ago to block that route during the motorcycle season at the weekend for motorcyclists to avoid greater harm. Especially on weekends, namely earlier traveled from far away, the curve with the tourist season to mark and then in the valley Elmstein really let the pig out. Many dead and many more injured at that time it has given. Mitlerweile this limitation is rumored to be even throughout the year. I suspect a connection with global warming: If the winters are always mild, always report less curve Fetish most from their plane in this time of year. So you have to lock in the winter.


Until now I did not care. Me at the weekend in Motorradpulks through narrow winding curves is not mine anyway, so I would certainly not pass without blocking the track on weekends to Elmstein valley. Meanwhile, for me, however, changed the situation. In an internet forum I found quite by chance my old school friend Andrew, I had completely lost sight of. And as luck would have it, Andrew lives in the secluded Speyerbrunn, very near the source stream of Speyer. Speyer and the stream rises, as everyone knows Palatinate, in this very valley that I must not pass through the weekend.

"No problem!" the interested reader might now say "Then take it during the week your Mopped, and on weekends the car if you want to pay your friend a visit."
"Even yet a problem." I would respond in such a case. I belonged for over twenty years to those stubborn car objectors who seek their lives largely set up so that they do not need a car. I stay in the city where I work, spend the night with my choice of shops and apartments on adequate access to public transport within walking distance. And if it does not even walk, I'll take bicycle, taxi, train or even for several years the motorcycle. All in all this is much cheaper than the maintenance of a car and there is plenty of money left over for more fun things than looking for a parking lot. And a good conscience about global warming have been well.
A friendly policeman on the Neustadter police station told me that I could request a special event permit from the county government Bad Dürkheim. What he has not told me is that this special permit will cost 140 euros. It gave me an acquaintance with a motorcycle and weekend house insurance in the Valley believe. So probably not have as many motorcyclists such a dispensation. I of course not.

It is indeed still public transport to travel to visit my friend Andrew at the weekend. The timetable of the German railway then gives me clarity about the state of public transport in the Palatinate Forest: either I'm going at night from 1.15 clock with a call taxi, this takes about half an hour. Or I suppose a link clock at 8:32, which leads me in a zigzag course on high adventure Speyer and John Cross (two hours driving time, two times change, only on Wednesdays and Sundays). To 13.32 clock would be still a way to use the space-consuming detour route, as I am but even three hours on the road (also only on Wednesdays and Sundays).

So I had I is not presented. I'm going to ask a taxi driver once, which is the regular fare of an ordinary day for home visits on weekends. I am afraid that I need the money, which would cost me, then one or two weekend visits to Speyerbrunn can easily pay the exemption, and several tanks of fuel for's bike.
