In Norway people will paint their furniture while stuck inside on brutal winter days.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Kq0bVfFMAoc/R4wbhz2xLSI/AAAAAAAAABs/42yuNcLZhyE/s1600-h/DSCF1277.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 148px; height: 111px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_Kq0bVfFMAoc/R4wbhz2xLSI/AAAAAAAAABs/42yuNcLZhyE/s200/DSCF1277.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155525941101931810" border="0" /></a><br />Hot Shanty is located on Monona Bay and to get there from shore you need to be close to the intersection of Proudfit Street and W. Brittingham Pl. There is a parking lot right off of that intersection as well as street parking on W. Brittingham Pl.
