Flew to Barcelona.  Resting.

We move on.

Midnight.  Here you can walk all night.  But it's time to sleep, tomorrow we go further.

2.5 years of quarantine is finally over.  Took a little vacation.  The first city is Tallinn, Estonia.  One of my favorite city since childhood.

The first day of summer. Apple trees bloomed.

May 25th. Gatchina park, evening.

Finished another project. A customer from London sent a photo of curtain rods. Before that, I made a chandelier and a frame for a mirror.

It's getting warmer outside, the summer gardeners are "stepping on my throat." I had to postpone the main work and take care of the garden supports.

Beauty requires sacrifice. I have been working in the garden for 2 days.

A bench in the shape of a curved garden path and an outdoor ashtray.

Any thoughts about beetle infestations?

We have not had such a problem.

Sometimes there are a lot of hornets, I put an additional barrier. They won't be able to get into the hive.

Does the canopy improve survival of the colonies?

It helps in our climate, it can rain for more than a month. Bees don't like humidity. It is very important that the snow does not cover the entrances (летки) to the hive.

allow positive ventilation so exhaled water can escape

The bees themselves ventilate well, the main thing is that the entrance and exit are not closed. Excuse my English)))

It got warmer and the snow almost melted. It's time to work on the apiary.

Made a canopy, tired of shoveling snow.

I have a question about the wiring:  Is the main, square element of the bracket above the lantern hollow and the wiring is within that piece?

Also, is this your or a customer's house?

Customer's house. 

These lights are on my house. Made about 20 years ago.

Moved the table to its place. Earlier in the same room I installed a chandelier, a firewood basket, a TV shelf.

A couple of new works.

is that your house or a customer's?  In any case, as usual, very nice work.  The fireplace picture is making my wife, Madelynn, give me that "Could you make that, Honey?" look.

HI George !

Porch in the customer's house. Fireplace in mine. I did it myself 25 years ago.

Saturday. (Суботнее ) Too bad the translator doesn't convey the meaning.

I'll bet they're happy customers.

HI Jer !

Despite the situation, they ask to make 2 more large chandeliers. I hope DHL does not leave Russia. There is no other way to send to Alaska at all.

It took almost a month for the chandelier to travel from St. Petersburg to Kenai. On the way, the box was dropped and one glass was broken. In order not to send a parcel because of one glass, the customer asked to make a sconce lamp for testing. Getting ready for the next summer season, a lot of flower supports.

Was there something lost in translation though? I ask becuase a coffee table is usually in a living room

HI Billy !

Translation problem.

We say a table for magazines. Журнальный столик.
