Ich konnte Freitag und Samstag die Polarlichter sehen. Die Handwerker die eigentlich vor zwei Wochen kommen wollten allerdings nicht.

Wenn ich alle drei Jahre eine neue Ausbildung im Handwerk begonnen hätte würde ich heute keinen Handwerker brauchen. Ich bin so dumm…

Pro Tipp: Handwerker nicht im Bekanntenkreis suchen. Die sind irgendwie noch unzuverlässiger und denen kann man auch nicht böse sein. Bevor irgendeiner kommentiert die haben keine Fachkräfte, volle Auftragsbücher… ja ich verstehe es ja und ich muss mich damit abfinden. Wird in Zukunft ja nicht besser.

Grogon,

Yeah dunno our mirror is gonna be across that part anyways (I hope it will cover that up) but well you can see I sanded to much mud or didn’t put enough mud across the plasterboard so thats why there is a “dent”.

To me I gotta say it doesn’t look fine but looks fine enough for saving that much money lol.

Grogon,

Man I heard so many things about tradies (not positive)…

The only person I have to hunt down is me if things look bad lol.

I have two takes on this.

When I was an avid climber, the consensus was, “Those who free solo, die by free solo.” So I think this isn’t an unpopular opinion, given non-climbers got to think it’s stupid. I think it’s just we love to spectate on that risky adventure.

Personally I have never and won’t in the future ever climb free solo but I joined people do it and my heart was racing like crazy. Imagine wittnessing a death. In my personal opinion it’s stupid. People do it because they think it makes them special. Having some type of safety measures wouldn’t effect the sport.

Does he still do free solos? If yes, he has children and a wife. That is the point where I have no respect for him or any other person. If you only got yourself and no family - fine. Do whatever. But if you have a family and people down there that love you - why should you continue to do that? You don’t need to feel more alive. You already proved the world you can and it’s okay. Instead he still goes up there without safety eventhough safety measures exist - for a reason.

If someone can climb what this dude can climb I wouldn’t have less respect for what he achieved just because he has a rope attached to him. I personally couldn’t care less. He can climb with a rope and if he falls start again until he finishes the climb without a drop and call it a day. Maybe his family members could then go in a Sauna during his climb instead of living in anxiety during his climb.

But well, I understand it. You feel alive blablabla. It’s like playing hardcore in action role play games but well, those are just games and if you die fine start again. This brings me to my next critic: if you fall, someone is going to have to clean you up. Thats not fair. I’m glad no one I love solo free climbs or does any other extreme sport and if I knew someone who does it on a regular basis that I love I would try to love this person less so the loss in case an accident happens won’t hurt as much.

Anyways great climber. In my eyes it’s still pathetic because he doesn’t need to prove he can do those climbs without a rope…

This video above is with Alex and Magnus and well what should I say… crazy.

Grogon,

Well I have no idea about that, Im not from the US but assuming his family loves him I guess no money can make up for the loss of a loved one.

If they in any case Shouldnt love him for whatever reason and want his money he should be very careful about spoiling the routes he wants to climb lol. I watched medical detectives late night as a 10 year old I know what people especially family is capable of lol.

I wrote below that I am also critical.

Interviewer: Does having a family make it impossible to climb without fear entering your mind?

Alex: “Time will tell. It’s maybe possible, but it might be a challenge. I think it’s easier to free solo when you can tell yourself that your life doesn’t matter that much. You’re kind of like, “Well, I’m just doing my thing, and it’s my own choice.” And if you have any real acceptance that your life matters a lot to other people, then you are sort of like, “Well, you know, it’s sort of my responsibility to not squander that.”

On the other hand, with a lot of the hard free soloing, the whole point is to make it feel safe and relatively comfortable. To basically prepare enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re rolling the dice.

Actually, last fall I did a big soloing traverse in Red Rock, near my home in Las Vegas. It was a 32-hour soloing traverse by myself, climbing up over all the major peaks in Red Rock. I think to the average viewer, they’d be like, “Holy shit, he’s still soloing at a really high level.” But the reality is that, for me personally, that just doesn’t feel like extreme free soloing in the same way. It was kind of more akin to ultrarunning or like a giant endurance event or something. I was free soloing, but it’s a far cry from El Cap.”

**My thoughts:**While he is skilled he isn’t taking the natural environment in his equation. It might be a easypeasy climb like he mentions in the interview above. Sure, but the risk of Rockfall, high winds, adverse weather, unexpecited animals mid route, sudden noises etc. that scare you are still real. In Nevada where he climbs they have air force jets, if you get caught off guard during a climb things can get friggin’ dangerous.

Yeah I understand this doesn’t happen every day but once you have children I wouldn’t want to risk a single solo climb. It’s not required and he is climbing at a level he doesn’t have to prove anyone anything. He is rich and already extremely good. At this point it’s selfish and stupid. I don’t know normally I really don’t care but well I don’t think free soloing should be glorified and he is a person that younger people look up to. He is a person younger people SHOULDN’T look up to. Climbing without a rope shouldn’t look like they are better climbers than climbers with ropes. Especially because we have access to ropes, we have them for a reason.

Most climbs he solos are nothing and I’d say most of the climbs might go well but nature can screw him up. A fly lands on your nose and you get distracted - you die. Free solo equates with being totally alone on the rock, not being able to call anyone for help, and not being able to bail if things go wrong. You either go up, or you fall (and very probably, die). Another option might be climb back down, but… dunno why would you climb down if you already know the route and are confident?

That’s all it is. Nothing a man should risk once you have children.

Grogon,

Yeah I also think there is a difference between “I am going to climb a huge rock without safety measurements eventhough they exist and cost only 50$” and “I am going to go on a one way trip to mars for science and humanity but use all safety equipment available on that trip”

Grogon,

Danke!

Ja also die wirft Schatten, am Bild erkennt man es leider nicht so gut :-(

Also man sieht nach dem ersten Anstrich mit Putzgrund (Pufas P32 ist die Farbe) den Gipskarton nicht mehr, allerdings die verspachtelten Stöße.

Man sieht leider auch dass wir nicht das Spachteln gelernt haben, aber bemühten uns und wollte mit Q2 eine 0,5 Körnung nehmen in der Hoffnung es funktioniert halbwegs… ja also es passt schon, aber ein Maler würde uns auslachen :-D

Komisch, man sieht sogar manchmal die dünnen Querstöße obwohl da wirklich nur wenig gefüllt werden musste.

Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass die Spachtelmasse (Finish) weisser als der Gipskarton ist? Dann werde ich mal ein zweites Mal bzw. ein drittes Mal nun streichen. Interessant ist auch, dass wir an manchen Stellen keine Körnung haben bzw. keine Körnung bleibt obwohl wir überall den Grund aufgetragen haben. Oft halten die Körner nicht an den Stellen wo die Spachtelmasse war. Zu wenig oder zu viel grundiert?

Grogon,

Danke für die Infos :-)

Also wir Spachteln alle Stöße und Schrauben zu (vorher auch vorgenässt). Dann kurz schleifen und mit Finish Spachtelmasse drüber und wieder angeschliffen, allerdings nur mit dem Handschleifer weils recht fein ist.

An sich würde ich sagen sind alle Stöße und Löcher soweit okay… klar perfekt nicht, hier und da kam der Finish nicht ganz an und haben deshalb für Körnung 0,5mm entschieden einfach weil es nie ne glatte Wand wird bei unseren Fähigkeiten :-D

Naja wie dem auch sei, nachdem Finish Spachtel 2 Tage getrocknet und dann mit einer Grundierung extra für Silikat Farben grundiert. Pufas P32 ist unser Putzgrund (Farbe mit 0,5 Körnung) und dadrauf streichen wir von Pufas Kristallweiss Silikatfarbe.

Vielleicht muss man einfach zwei Mal mit der Silikatfarbe drüber?

Bin jetzt ehrlich gesagt auch nicht so kleinlich, jede Make die ich sehe erinnert mich an die 10.000 € die mir ein Profi gekostet hätte und kann sehr gut damit leben. Ist halt nicht perfekt, aber halt selbstgemacht und günstig :-D

Grogon,

Danke schön! :-) Leider erkennt man auf dem Foto die Maken nicht wirklich :-( Aber stimmt schon, man achtet vielleicht auch wenn Möbel drin sind etc. nicht mehr so sehr auf die Wand :-)

Grogon, (edited )

Sind knapp 424 m² Fläche 🙃 Also 144 m² Wohnraum. Drum packen wirs selber an 🙃

Hab heute von 07:30 Uhr bis vor einer Stunde (23:30) gespachtelt, bin jetzt überall durch mit dem 1. Gang und werde morgen alles schleifen. Schwiegervater und Frau können dann meine Schleifschneise dann hinterher finishen 🐥 Und dann darf ich wieder meine Schleifrunde drehen.

Dann kommt nur noch die Grundierrunde, die Putzgrundrunde und die Malrunde :-D
