Im guessing you would manage to lift the 996 to work height (with mm to spare):lol_hitti I have 4.5mtr below the center roof beam, and 22deg roof slope. I tried lifting a Toyota Hiace with a long wheelbase, and it worked like a charm.

Well done cheif, this looks good. I envy you the lathe and extra garage :bounce: Im looking everywere for a lathe (im a bit picky, its should't be to big, not to pricy etc.) Your lathe look good, what's the size limit for the objects you can handle in it? Could you handle the brake discs for...

Thank you, and you are correct, it is a bit to "clean" still. That's why i need to ad som stripes or bottom wall colour (ref. the theme project). On the wall facing the neighbours and the wall towards the house, i've used double plaster. Single layer on the last wall and ceiling. It is a piece...

Well, it's probably time for an update. - The base paint is done, no decor/theme yet. - The center-beam needs paint but the scaffold is not high enough, and some moldings are needed to close the gap between, the plasterboard and beam. - 6 off fluorescent lamp's has been installed. I've started...

Jo, takk for sist:) Thank you for some good ideas. The background colour is white, so the castrol/martini/rothmans would suit best. Either way i need to get my hands on some vintage signs :headscrat

"a picture is nothing without a frame" Here is the current progress outside.

Latest news:3gears: Filler has been applied to the drywall, and the paint has found it's way out of the can an on to the wall:bounce: I am doing one half at a time, due to all the equipment (autolift/toolbox/welder etc). I made a curtain of plastic while i work, due to dust and paint spray...

The place is great, and thank you. I only have three regrets from building the house: 1- bigger land (this was a no discussion subject, since the county already had decided on general land sizes) 2- Not building a basement on the garage 3- Central heating throug waterpipes integrated in the...

My guess would be that you are one of the migrated norwegians (to the US?) You are always welcome back. Money is always an issue here i norway (everything is expensive here) I can promise you that nothing has become cheaper here. Gas is now 8$ pr. gallon (and the ironc part is that, next to...

I can see that you live just "on the other side of the border", and it does suprise me that you didnt know that we have the same eletrical system as yourselves ;)

Thats correct. Without stops along the way, it takes approx 7 hours to drive (plane 40-50min)

If we open pandoras box we will see that the electrics is nearly done, both 230V and 400V. Only to connect a few more plugs and switches. This is one thing you'll never have to many of :shocking: Im also done with the insulation work and drywall work

Yes, as a matter of fact it's Norwegian pine. How did you know ;)

Well Dave Here is some food for thougth, they show the progress of the house as well.
