Juliet's balcony

This is our kozolec (ko-zol-ets)


A kozolec is a Slovenian hay rack.  They are unique to Slovenia, so a bit special. Ours is of the "toplar" type. It has a bit of an issue with gravity. All of the main posts, except one, are standing on stones. The one that isn't on a stone is sinking. Which is giving our kozolec a lean. Which one day could become fatal. But how to fix a kozolec without the whole thing folding up like a house of cards? So we made a trip to the kozolec museum of slovenia. And found out that ours should have a balcony rail. Which is great for those of us who struggle with the physcologicsl concept of walking on a plank "floating" in mid air with no sides.


So now Juliet has a balcony.


So now we can feel safe when we are up there.
Just don't look at the bottom of the ladder as you go up:



Bonus points for anyone who guesses what the balcony was made from.

  1. For those who haven't guessed, most of the wood for the balcony came from a pallet.
