The electricians came today to install a new panel along with a generator sub-panel and a panel in the shed.

This is a fun one. It tells the story of a country reeve from the village of Auerbach that was in search of a rare dish. Each notgeld is numbered on the lower right. That old adage is true - a way to a man's heart is through his stomach! LOL.
Got this set of notgeld today from the town of Bismark, Germany. It tells the story of the ruin with the strange name "Goldene Laus" (Golden Louse). A legend tells that a giant louse was held captive in the tower, tied to a golden chain. She had to be fed a pound of meat and watered with wine daily. This set of notgeld implies that it was a ploy by the clergy to get free food.
Between 1346 and 1356, the Great Plague claimed an estimated 25 million lives - a third of the European population at the time. In 1350, near the little town of Bismark, apparently a cross suddenly fell from heaven, so a church was built on the spot. Every year, there was a great pilgrimage and crowds of pilgrims visited to "Bismarke" around the middle of the 14th century to receive protection and healing from a miraculous cross. This of course, brought in lots of money for the church. Last if the exterior work is done on the shed. Had an exhaust fan installed. Now they will start my deck, weather permitting, tomorrow. Then later there are some interior things to finish off, including a wall to separate the forge from the rest.
