A year after I finished that storage garage, I began to build another one! Same style, not so high and floor area is shorter... Fondations are the same... The framework Behind there is a log house made of logs that are over 100 years old. I had an exellent idea of a blacksmith´s shop, so I...

Re: AMCs in Finland. In Finland we have a lot of American cars. New and old ones. Scandinavian countries do have a long tradition of hotrod and drag race. Sweden was the first one and Finland came few years behind. In Sweden they had their first hotrods mid 50´s and in Finland early 60´s...

When we, here in Finland, do not freeze or booze we are building something... like garages. At the time when I had my garage at my parents farm, I made a storage for my Ramblers. It looked like this... Foundations Frame That´s how it looked when ready... (Doors are photoshopped...

Hello there in Bavaria. I live 50 kms west from Halli. Did you work at Patria aeroplanefactory? Hornets? Wrrooooooommmmm....... I have one (AMC) Hornet in my garage.

No, there is no gravel under the insulation. Building inspector came and told that this silt good to use and needed nothing more... I haven´t calculated hours only months... It was late April when my neighbor came with his excavator. And framing started at the last day of August. At the end of...

About cars... I´m just restoring my cars... if I had time. Ramblers and AMCs sold well during sixties and early seventies in Finland. Americans, Classics,Rebels and Hornets they were very popular cars. Javelins did quite well, too. In Finland we´ve had very heavy car taxes since 1958. That´s...

OK Magnus.. I forgot that.. sorry. Floor is 80 mm of concrete. There are 350 meter floor heating pipes and reinforcing steel inside of it. When we go deeper, we´ll find 100 mm of polystyrene. Footing and foundation... Blocks and footing are 20 cm high . Here you can see level of silt under...

Here is one inside pic... It is no secret that most of my cars are AMCs or Ramblers. Here is my American Hardtop going to its new home... Here AMC Eagle leaves old "garage". 20 years ago I started to modify old cowhouse/horse stable to garage. It was a cold and uncomfortable place, but it...

Batten board... OK. It is difficut to write in english, because I don´t know all the necessary words. But I´m learning all the time... So, pardon my french...
