After turning the old 'workshop' into a partial storage room, I quickly invaded the next room in the cellar and turned it into a small workshop. Also a few years back I rebuilt,insulated and extended (within local regulations) an old shed in the garden, so most of the wood/carpenter tools could...

The 'bluish workshop' which I started out with is not in use anymore, now only a few machines are left in there. The room is now mostly used for storage of parts, bolts, generator brushes etc.

The petrol station started out as a prebuilt garden shed which was on sale(cheap). The good thing was that is was dry and ready to paint. So I was able to paint most of the shed in the car garage, before assembling the shed outside in the cold and wet november evenings. But the shed had a weak...

Nice! I am always looking for ideas to incorporate car/motorcycle parts in the theme. Also on the outside, maybe some kind of bench made from a pickup tailgate or similar at the side of the gas station (on the left side in the back)

What happened was that the property in front of our house was handed over to the next generation. And they did extensive thinning of the trees in order to build a new summerhouse. So it worked out great for us. There are still some trees which I hope they will cut down, but with 180 degrees...

Oh yes.. it's still here! it is to late to sell it now, had it for over 20 years :) This winter it will stay in another location though, as I need more room to work on the Chevrolet project. It is quite crowded when all three cars are in the garage:)

Thanks! The chevrolet will be restored back to mostly original. I found a 1955 235ci stovebolt engine to upgrade the original 216. Also planning to upgrade the brakes a bit, to front discs and brake booster. Norway has a lot of hills and mountains, so it is good to have some extra power and...

The detached car garage in it's current state. When the chevrolet project is done, I can finally try to have more static interior. Up to now, everything needs to be shifted around to have enough workspace.

Petrol station inside:)

Last post in 2013.. don't know what happened:) Or actually I do. Spent several years redoing the house, and then restoring some motorcycles and a 1944 Ford GPW jeep for myself, and helped a number of friends with their vintage motorcycles. And after this we have redone other parts of the house...

Also I have tried to make some more room in the motorcycle garage by throwing out a table.. makes it easier to work on more than 1 bike at the time.

...still stuck with the neverending house rebuildproject.. Apart from filling up the car garage with all kinds of ****, not mush has happened to the garages.. We are constantly moving stuff around as we fix room by room. On the bright side, the new kitchen is almost done and we have done a...

and then a slightly less complex wallpaper on the north wall:

Love the Myford super 7, it seems to offer a bit more than my ML7 Not sure, but I think Burt Munro had one in workshop as well? Nice velo! Yes, I will get back on the bike (and cars) projects eventually.. the house projects just never seems to end. Last nights wall project in the new...

oooops.. someone backed into the 911 last friday.. the other drivers insurance will take care of it though.. but I'm not sure how much more porsche driving I'll be able to do this year. And it's getting a bit cold.. had to ride to work today as the old beater toyota has no brakes (road...
