Thanks Bempa ! Your friend is right, slow progress is better than no progress at all, but it is so f#cking frustrating when nothing goes like you have intended :mad:.

Here is few of my auction finds, two welding machines, TIG-welder and MIG-welder. Both are KEMPPI brand, that much I need to pulling home because Kemppi is finnish. But that is not only reason why I like them, They are from the start designed, manufactured and intended for heavy industry and...

Ouch ! 1300€ ?!. We have here in finland saying what fits perfectly in that : Wonderfully expensive ! :lol: Not that I would complain, I did bought last summer in one auction a 4 domestic TRESTON metal cabinets, which have a brand new the same price at one piece, what I did pay for those...

Thanks GoldCar for support. I did check your project and I have to say, that I am envious to you because you have steady floor and heating. I have A LONG ROAD ahead of me before I am in that same position. Not to mention, A LOT of €€€€€. By the way, what brand are those your drawers and what...

After long time, it´s time to update what is going on in my garage project. Unfortunately I have to admit that I am quite lazy, the progress has been and most likely will continue to be slow. It really is bigger job than you could imagine when you are building it after full 8h workday and you...

Here are the temperatures from the house ventilation unit control panel :evil:. ULKO = outside air temperature, SISÄ = inside air temperature, TULO = extracted air temp. from inside and JÄTE = waste air temp.

Here are a few pics of the current situation, not much have happened but the pics are quite self explanatory why that is so. Brisk freezing weather, temperature is approx. -25 C. So that little slows down everything. It is really frustrating to wait more convenient weathers, so that there would...

Hi make !. I know what you mean by that it is nice to work in warm garage, because last monday when i was starting to get towards work place and we had the same temperature here as you did have (-31 C). And what the hell I discover !, the car heater blower has stopped working. I couldn't get...

More pics due the 7 pictures / post limit. The one picture where are two nails hitted on the lower runner plank, is how i could alone put the wind barrier boards on place. The nails are temporary supports / "third hand" because the boards are quite large and heavy to handle them alone. The...
