Did I mention I like cats? Well, no need telling that to the cats themselves.

More recent graves will be recycled, at least in Norway. Spent several summers working at cemetaries myself when I was younger. Fresh graves have a 20 years grace period when they're not touched except for new burials within the same family. After the first 20 years, relatives can renew the "lease" for successive 10-year periods. Once it reach a certain age (100+ years?) it will be permanently protected.

Stones no longer in use will be crushed and used as gravel.

There´s a few deserted cemetarys in Gothenburg, old cholera cemetarys and old hospital cemetarys. These are protected by The National Heritage Board. A few stones remain on those. And the ordinary cemetarys keep the graves as longs as someone is paying for the plot. if they don´t they´ll be sold to someone else and the gravestone may be rewritten

What do you do with the old gravestones/graves?

Nothing much, we tend the graves. Cutting the grass and stuff like that. The stones are just leaned against the wall, someone should take care of them too IMO.

bongo, just out of curiosity what types of wodd do you use for the deck or porch? Cedar? I would assume thats abundant in Norway but Im not sure. Anyway just curious having built about a dozen decks or so in the States (I have a LOT of brother in laws)

Have to check but I'm almost certain it's not cedar. We don't have much of it here as far as I know. Probably pine or fir. I'm not good at telling them apart once the bark and branches are gone

What do you expect when you go around advertising your sisters in your avatar like that?

Some old gravestones from one of the cemetarys I work at. You can read 1686 as a death date, but the cemetary (and some of the church) is from the 11th century.

Not sure about the full implications of "full finished basement" but we have concrete floor and roof and standing height, even though a few of the doors is so low I had to pad the upper treshold with foam to avoid cracking my skull should I forget to bow my head(I am 186cm tall)

You can't live down there but it's good enough for storage, my workshop and my firing range

Thats what i meant

Same as in Northeast USA where I grew up

Full finished Basement?

I miss them as I grew up with in Maine with them, now kinda all crawlspaces or slab on grade (coastal North Carolina)

Looking good on the deck my friend

[bongo]

Porch progressing nicely, almost done with the carpentry now. Will finish the railing tomorrow, also need to visit the hardware store for bolts, hinges and lock for the gate and stairs on the far side.

Was about to have my first beer there today but a little rain shower stopped that (had one indoors instead )
