Old warehouse rebuild to workshop in Portugal
- Thread starter MG30
- Start date
This is one of my restauration projects i intend to do. Old oil pump.
On the back regulate the oil you want to use. The dial on front will display it. Then rotate the crank one way to pull the oil into the vat, an then the other way to fill the can.
Nice isn't it?

Some development on the works.
After partialy demolish of the laundry, now the rebuld
Some details of the structure...
Bellow the laundry level is the "dirt" shop and the passage betwen the hase garage and the workshop.
Meanwhile in the inside, the interior wall of the passage being made after insulation.
This weekend is also time to store all stuff in the hause garage and the actual shop in boxes. Works will be done here.
All is being stored in an organized way, because will be unboxed in a few months in the new shop. At least i hope so.

I have this vision of a bunch of guys in the garage drinking beer and watching the girls swim.
Thats a nice vision. Off course the reason for the glass in the pool its to let the light pass...

Jorge, pardon my ignorance, but how cold does it get there?
Andres

Not very cold Andres. We have a very mild climate. In summer temperatures betwen 25ºC and 35ºC but in Winter its not unusual to go below 10ºC. I like temperature about 21ºC. So i use heating during Winter and AC during summer.

Good to see you back and with some nice progress too, keep the updates coming eh.
Thanks Andy.
Now that the workshop construction works are coming to an end (i think a month), i'll post better photos.
After that, lots and lots of things to do on equipments, cabinets and lots of stuff.
Can't wait to get there. I'm tire of dust...

One thing I always wanted on my shop, was an air instalation. But i needed to find a solution to hide it in the walls in order to keep them "clean".
So the solution i found was to hide the main infrastructure in the ceiling and create a chanel inside in the walls that is accessible for eventual mantenence only were accessories are placed.
Althougt it is not finished you can have an idea by the photos. Remember that when finihished, all the chanels in the wall will be closed and you wont see them.

That is some very nice metal fabrication. Will be interested in seeing the stairs painted and ready for use.
Both stairs ready to go to place tomorrow. Painting still go one. Wood floor to the mezanine arrived yesterday and the tile to the garage floor and walls today. Alarm..., electrician..., inside windows... UFF. This seems nerver ending.

Back to pictures
After several months of inactivity on the thread but with the works on the garage build almost done, i'm know more "free" to post pictures.
At the moment almost works are done, but the furniture and several equipment are not.
With some dust on the floor and also on the cars, here goes the first picture.
I wonder if you can identify the cars on the pictures (not only brands but also model and year)
