Cottage eh?
When I was drilling I spent about 3/4 of 19 years in
the field and most of that in a tent. A cottage & sauna
sounds pretty good. No smithy and power hammers either.
Of course that was years ago and I've moved up a bit.
No suana but there is the hot tub on the back deck to
make up for it. <grin>

Yeah well I really would not have missed the experience
for anything.
The salary could have been better, but as a summer job
it was fine.
Purely due to the location I doubt if I would ever work
there again..
if it was local I would love it there. Work started at
06:00 and
finished by 14:30. That left me half a day with a
professional forge
at my disposal to do my own thing. The boss being a
generous guy let
me use both machines and material to complete a metal
sculpture for a
group exhibition this summer. It's ideal for someone
like me.. pity
the pay was piss poor and the location was less than
desirable. I
lived 11 weeks in a cottage with no running water nor
toilet. The long
drop and the wood heated sauna was all I had. Although
I did have a
spectacular view as the lake was a mere 8 metres from
the cottage and
had deer and moose as my garden pets :o)
Now back in the land of the living.. internet and
all!!!
