  Description

  Hello there we are a family of three Svein ,Wangechi and little Theo.
  In our free time we love to explore nature, take photos and fly a drone for videography and offcourse renovation projects.
  We recently bought a property with a house from the 1950 that we have been trying to renovate for now 2 years.
  The two bedroomed house is fully functional with running water and electricity .
  We also have a mini house in the property that also needs to be finished renovating.
  We are located just outside Oslo 20 minutes drive from the city centre. Which can also be accessed by taking a bus The house is located near a natural forest and it is surrounded by the Oslo fjord as well as a natural lake.
  Here you can walk 10 minutes to a big famous beach with swimming place and also a kafe.
  You can also decide to go swimming in the lake instead which is also a 10 minutes walk.
  
  Our main focus this summer is to finish the building project and working on fixing the outside, for example planning and establishing a garden.
  Building an outdoor sitting area. Clearing the bush around the property. Cutting wood to prepare for winter.
