    New guy from The Netherlands

    Hi Dennis, Yes it is related to my moped. I've used this nickname since my teens. I used to ride a Honda SS50 and still own one (allthough it has probably been more than 5 years since I've ridden it).

    Wow Luca, what a great achievement and what a great place you have/made! I loved reading the way you've preserved so much old stuff and the detailed way in which you have documented it here!

    15 x 24 unusual build from Netherlands

    I don't think this is representative for the most parts of The Netherlands (my garage had a lot less rebar). I suspect your reason would be correct for this build/area. The 'peat' ground in that part of The Netherlands is very soft. The piles are therefore the only real thing that support his...

    15 x 24 unusual build from Netherlands

    Why could that not be afforded in the USA? Is it labor costs or materials (concrete, bricks, etc)? I estimate the average labor cost for a contractor is somewhere around 30-45 euro/hour in The Netherlands (40 - 60 USD) (but it could be higher, most jobs I have had done where for a fixed price...

    15 x 24 unusual build from Netherlands

    And another dutchman here. That looks like a nice build. Luckily I could build my garage on the existing foundation of the old shed (although the ground is much firmer here then with you in Noord Holland).

    Above 1200 Sq/FT The ASYLUM - Happy 40th Birthday to Me! (Est. 2005)

    Great build Shopnut! It took me about 1,5 weeks to read through all/most of it, but it gave me some new ideas. I admire your precision and ingenuity.

    1+ car garage in The Netherlands

    Yes, but luckily most of our cars are also a bit smaller ;-) It would be hard to fit a Camaro in my garage and still have space around it to work on it. (but that doesn't stop me from wanting to have one someday....)

    1+ car garage in The Netherlands

    As you can see in the (old) Google Maps picture below, the garage (and for the other houses the carport+shed) are located at the back of the garden, separated from the house. Since the cars are parked in the back on the street, we walk through the garden and the garage to get to the cars (which...

    1+ car garage in The Netherlands

    Hi, I've posted some pictures of my garage in the welcome section, but wanted to show it here as well. When we bought our house 5 years ago, it had a carport and a small (3x3 meters) shed. My neighbor had already converted his carport and shed into a 1-car garage + storage space. 3 years ago...

    New guy from The Netherlands

    Hi, I'm Niels from The Netherlands. I've rebuild my carport and shed into a 1+ car garage two years ago and use it to fix up my '73 VW Beetle. It's not a very big garage compared to most garages I see here on the Forum, but for Dutch standards it's already a lot bigger then average (being a...
