Finally time for some more work on the garage, yes, painstakingly slow, I know. Workbenches are now coming up and I started to go through hand tools that will be hanging on the wall. I mostly do work with motorcycles and these are the tools I will go for: So far: Wera sockets and ratchets Wera...

oh, and this is what I started with a couple of weeks ago in the garage after a couple of years of house building... I have got rid of a lot of collected junk and can finally move around the garage a bit. DSC_0174 by sverre, on Flickr

Wow,2018 already? I have been working and working on the house and keeping up with kids, work and life in general these last couple of years. Finally time to continue to do some work on the garage. I have to hurry though before the wife figures out I have some spare time on my hands. I have...

so, this is the start for the moulding on top of the garage. Will be a wall 15cm wide and 16cm high. This will stop water running down the sides of the garage, and I will anchor the railing on it. Windy by sverre, on Flickr A bit messy up there, wind took care of the piles of insulation I had...

Sorry about the complete lack of updates, everything has been standing still while waiting for the grinding and polishing of the floor. It is done now and I am really really happy with the result. Back on track and will press on now. The floor was ground one time and polished 3 times. In the end...

Wow, beautiful area, nice trees, the garage is sitting there really cozy inbetween the trees. Like it :)

I sure hope the contractor will agree that this is not what it is supposed to be when he sees it himself... And I know it is pricey nicobkn, even worse here in a "high cost"-Norway. Tried to take some pictures. This is the overall finish, where you can see the swrils from the machines and...

I will post some stuff on the rest of the house as well. All the concrete work is pretty much done and I am looking for someone that can put up the basic timberwork for me. We need permission to do structural timberwork but I will do the rest of the build myself once the basic frame is up :)

Sorry about the lack of updates. Started out in rocket speed but had a slight setback. The contractor I am using for concrete is doing really good work but the finishing of the floor in the garage was not what I was looking for. He went on holiday the morning after we put the floor down, so I...

Concrete floor down today. Just waiting for it to set a bit more before putting down the Ashford Formula. Steeling garage floor. by sverre, on Flickr

Looking forward to that cabinet dubber. Good to know someone likes the cabinet, might not be too shabby then. So finished the pipeworj for underfloor heating today, lots of fun work. Also did it for the rest of the house expansion but thats a different story. If you dont get the pipe on a drum...

I have a background with electrical and mechanical work so a bus is no problem. The mains power stuff will have to be done by an electrician unfortunately. Have some update, built the boxes for moulding for the scissor lift and almost done with insulation. Company delivering insulation had...

I am going for as many fluorescent tubes as I can fit in there. Have not sourced lights yet, but will use the splash proof ones and also have them down on the side of the wall I think for side lighting. I am really good at putting up power outlets so there will be plenty :) Both single phase...

Haha, thanks wizard, we have drain pipe around the building and drain-trench I suppose as the closest word, cool. I hate water everywhere and on the west coast we have A LOT of it all year. We do have some regulations on spillage also but drainage outside the garage is fine (apparently...)...

Back home from holiday and took a couple of pictures of how far along we are at the moment. Front is looking good, all mouldings have been taken down yesterday and the driveway has started to get some levelling work done. photo.JPG by sverre, on Flickr From inside the garage, this is the...
