“Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things
that I can and the wisdom to know the difference” Reinhold Niebuhr

15 Oct 09Planks glorious planksWhen we ordered the wood for the notorious ceiling planks never did I imagine how long they would take to prepare. I've probably already said how difficult it is to get pressure treated wood here, especially rustic unplaned wood. And we do want to use, as much as possible, things sourced locally. But boy is this plank treating job turning into an epic! We treated 24 planks today between us - I know, doesn't sound like much does it. Talking about sourcing things locally, does anyone know where in Spain we can buy borax? As far as we've researched it's an all round good egg as far as protecting wood, wool and lots of other things from insect, water and fire damage - but can we find it anywhere here? Nope!
This is an interesting, but depressing little clock. If you click on the 'now' button at the top of the page it zeros the counters. I find the population growth the most alarming, in just 3 minutes the world population had grown by 440 people - can this be sustainable?
