Tubular piles foundation


 The day before yesterday, after visiting the world press photo exhibition (which really doesn't make you happy), I was walking through town and saw that on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal they had started installing quay reinforcements by means of tubular piles that are installed vibration-free in the ground by drilling. There should be one at every mark on the quay masonry.

On the other propped but not yet handled side, a heron sat undisturbed fishing for food totally unimpressed by the violence in front of him. (Header a photo one corner further away.)

In any case, it is a very different canal face as usual.

The work week is about to begin again.


 As for this window cleaner though very different without a ladder but much safer.

Early in the morning.


 Was quite surprised yesterday when this showed up at the door for work on a neighbor's house 2 houses away. The crane only just fit into the street.

Trip along memory lane


The encroaching city on what was once the K.N.S.M. port site. Every now and then I go to see what is being built next . Because it is across the river Y I have to take the ferry.


 The red building in the middle was the architect office where I worked for 27 years and the building right (a former grain silo) was transformed into an apartment building by the architect I worked before I went here also for a year of 10. Today there is only one floor for architects and the rest is for journalists and ad makers. All to see for free with a little trip with the ferry from central station to the K.N.S.M. area.

Work to be done.


 It is very muddy here at the moment and this at a time when the Dutch government is about to announce its plans for the coming year.

Neighbors and family help


 Our neighbors are replacing the roof of their shed which is in need of a renewal after 44 years. ( The header is a view over the "Zoutkeets Canal")

Yesterday afternoon


 The asphalt of the street opposite us is being repaired. First a crack is cleaned with hot air where all the dirt is burned and blown away and it makes the asphalt soften. The second worker fills the crack again with hot repair asphalt using a spray lance and the third smooths it. Does come with a lot of hissing but it goes pretty fast.
