Winner in The Dalauppror paint your egg challenge:)

Congratulation to Paul at Paul´s Bods that are the winner of the 1st "Dalauppror annually? paint your egg challenge" with he´s amazing Medieval Egg House:)

Congratulations Paul !

Rarely written about, these egg houses, built using eggs from the giant Gon-Gon-awey bird of the Blackforest, were a cheap and practical way of getting a roof over your head without having to shell out a large amount of money, in fact..they were very cheep. Apparently the fashion went as they weren´t all they were cracked up to be.
Here, a lokal Yolkel can be seen re-positioning his Egg house after moving a heavy cupboard away from the center of gravity.
