C'est l'heure de la toilette ! Ils sont en train de monter un échafaudage tout autour de la statue de Leifur Eriksson, le navigateur viking qui a découvert l'Amérique 500 ans avant Christophe Colomb. Durant ce temps de rénovation/restauration, je ne serais pas surpris que sur le contreplaqué figure des photos grandeur nature de l'œuvre sur les quatre côtés.

Des ouvriers sont en train de visser des plaques de bois sur un échafaudage métallique avec des filets de sécurité vert et qui va enfermer quelques temps une statue. Au pied de cet ensemble, des plots de sécurité orange et du ruban à balise ont été déployés pour former un périmètre de sûreté, notamment à l'attention des touristes. Derrière, une grande église : la Hallgrimskirkja. Son horloge affiche 18h35.

02/04/2015: Yesterday, I received my #hemp calf fiber package and continued working on the #door project. The fiber feels as soft as angel hair, and I really enjoyed working with it. It’s an excellent material for environmentally friendly #sealing , perfectly suited for insulating doors and windows—no toxic construction foam needed at all!

Excursus Story of Calafataggio:
Caulking (calafaturation, calafataggio) is a waterproofing technique for wooden hulls, carried out by the master caulker (mastro calafato). It creates a joint between the planking boards that can withstand the sea and endure over time. In the past, the technique essentially consisted of inserting fibers—often hemp or tow—between the planks of the hull and impregnating them with pitch. Today, cotton or hemp is used, along with synthetic resins or tar. The process is performed manually using a wooden mallet, called a "calker's maul," and a special flat-tipped chisel, known as a "malabestia," which allows the fiber to be pushed into the seams (the connections between the planking boards) without cutting it.

The image shows a metal door installed in a rustic, unfinished wall. The surrounding wall has exposed plaster and areas of rough, uneven texture, indicating ongoing renovation work. A light fixture is mounted on the ceiling, with electrical conduit running along the top. In front of the door, there is an open cardboard box labeled "HANF" (likely referring to hemp insulation material). There are two spatulas on the box. Some loose hemp fibers are spilling out of the box onto the tiled floor. The scene suggests that insulation work may be in progress, possibly for sealing gaps around the door or improving thermal efficiency in the space.
This image shows a close-up of the door frame and its mounting structure. The door is slightly open, revealing the metal frame and the wall behind it. The wall has a rough plastered surface with an uneven texture, indicating prior renovation work. Two black metal brackets are secured to the wall with screws, helping to anchor the door frame. The brackets have an open slot design, possibly to allow for adjustment before final tightening. The frame itself appears to be a sturdy metal construction with ventilation or drainage slots. This view gives insight into how the door was fixed into the wall, showing both the structural integration and the unfinished nature of the surrounding plasterwork.
