Wonderful thread with lots of excellent photos. Roof is looking great! Very neat. Are the joins crimped? I also didn't realize how tall the garage spaces were before I saw the photo with the LC parked in front of it. New second story changed the character of the building a bit, for the better...

Thank you! Happy to hear you like the colours! It's a pretty fun view. Constant reminder of things to do though :ROFLMAO: Thank you! It's not been a big hit with the birds, except for one fat magpie. I'm amazed he fits. Fortunately the chain is sturdy! We've been getting a totally...

Wonderful thread! Really enjoyed it. The farm ended up looking amazing, especially the party barn, and a real credit to you! Please update! I need to know the CRAZY.

Fantastic thread, thank you for sharing! The new shop looks amazing. Cool design and the finish looks super sharp. Apologies if I've missed it but what's the plan for access to the corner office, and the landing over the front porch? I love the super long spotlight tracks and the lights from the...

Oh, and how could I forget?? I made another bird feeder. This time I secured it with a chain and lock and it has not been stolen! This one even has a perspex roof!

Uhh, where did 2024 go? Was it even a full, 12 month, 366 day year? I don't know. Anyway, I'm saying not much happened with my many projects. In fact, the only things I did to the garage was: 1. Covered the concrete blockwork with steel panels (painted dark gray to match the doors) to avoid...

So, onto the shelf! As of the previous update, I had a 2x4 box section going across the 4.8m width of the back wall. My goal with this shelf was to be able to store things out of sight, and out of dust. I did not want any supports below it (except the ones at each end), at least not going to the...

Lovely thread! I've really enjoyed reading the posts on the different cars, the process of purchasing them and the maintenance both. Thank you! Big fan of all the cars. How do you decide what car to drive? Is it "this car needs/deserves to be driven" or is it "I really want to drive this one...

Wow, thanks! Was not sure how people would react to it. Felt a bit out there, even for me. Glad you like it! I have a few more in my house. I love them. Thanks! Thank you! It's pretty much exactly what I dreamed of. Feels really good to have built it.

Again, I did the plastic thing. I haven't added any vents yet, but I have put a dehumidifier in there and it seems to do the trick. I'm not going to hang anything from the ceiling. I don't need any more structural integrity. Drywall is a pain, and I can't defend spending even more on poplar...

Onto the poplar plywood panels! Annoyingly, the width had to be trimmed as well as the height (they were 1220mm wide, why?). My dear dad came over again, bringing his assortment of Makitas. I used plastic foil on the walls although I was unsure about it for a long time. I ended up thinking...

Haha, tell me about it! Good workout though!

Not too far up, between Stavanger and Bergen :) Thanks! Sure, I'd even offer to help. That being said, the only neighbour who seems inclined to work on cars now owns a Tesla, so I don't really foresee that happening too often. I've had an internal debate on what to clad the inside walls with...

Thanks again for all the nice words! Thanks! So far I've only walked into them once (believing them to be open)! My thinking is that I haven't dinged up any of the cars in my garage yet, so taking a little extra care near the doors should be OK, hopefully. Knock wood. Thank you! I've browsed...

Then it was time to get a little more light! I cut away the black fibre board and fitted 15mm thick polycarbonate sheets that I cut to size. I've not mentioned the metal around the edge of the roof. My carpenter friend is also a metalworker so he bent some profiles for me. He also did one for...
