Show LV NG DE went up and I figured that I could never afford a farm £ r m it n high. And with what I had been able to save doing farm work d id d I tt tin something else. I decided I would get into building the building indu I finally made the decision, I quit the job and went over to Esbjerg again h r I h d n for a time. It was where I had been as a missionary, too. So I went over there and nt to work for a builder there. He was a brick layer and doing plastering and things lik that. So I went in with him and took care of the men to start with and I would lay brick on the back walls. I would lay the back walls. Then the meisener (masons) that were working on the front wall would make money according to how much work they did. So they got so much money. And when they got so much money every three weeks, I got three hundred crowns more for what I was doing and they got more than that. So that worked out for all of us. Then, when they were doing work on the walls, I tried to help them the most that I could. I don't know if you know, but in Danish we had a big pail that we would stir up of lime and a certain lime mixture that we had. On the walls there were wood partitions. We put straw mats over that, made straw mats into that, and then we would flip that stuff with mason trowels all in the rest and flip and have the whole thing covered, the ceiling and everything. When that was done, we had these big things, like that [demonstrates size with hands], where we put two or three shovels of the stuff on and that was thinner and different. Then, we would put it on and drag it up the wall and smooth the wall out. We would have what we called, kadesk. That is, if you ever know anything about it, here they call them-I can't remember-but anyway, they used them to smooth the walls off. They sprinkled a little water on them and then smoothed them off. We had these big long rods where we would rub them off to, so they were straight. 37 |
