Reidun & Edgar
Reidun and Edgar bought the property in the late 1960's and built Norsyn themselves. They stayed in a smaller version of the guest cottage, three small children in tow, with no running water or electricity and built the main cottage in their spare time. Askøy was only accessible by ferry at that time. Much of the building material was brought in by boat. Bestemor and Bestefar decided to sell Norsyn when Edgar retired. David and Bodil bought the property in 2005 and have since used it as a summer home when they come to Norway to visit family.
