A little update. Thought id show a few pictures of how its standing right now. I have created my own doors barn style door. But the «frame work» is built in 2x4 so I can insulate it pretty good. Buying garage ports/doors was way out of the budget. I found a cheap counter top on «craigs list» for...

Electrical: So electrical is something I am quite familiar with but not something I work with, I work witch electronics low current. But quite familiar with it. So before we built the new house the barn itself was connected since there was activity in the barn, but when we built the house we...

Well a little delayed update but here we go I did mention this was budget? Oh yeah I did. And it still is, but dream and budget doesnt always go hand in hand but. Remember that package under the tarp on some posts back? Well that was one the items to make this lean more towards dream than...

Thank you!

Thanks! Ill sure check it out!

Thank you! Yes I think the transformstion has turned out pretty good! Will put up a new post later today!

Thanks! I hope it turns out somewhat okay! Do you have a thread on your renovation? Would love to check it out!

So to the flooring. Now, you may think since this is a budget restoration, I would just go with the concrete look and seal it. And that thought isnt to far fetched, in fact that was what I had planned as the cheapest. Then I started looking into epoxy paint, you know the grey or white standard...

Okay so lets get some paint on the walls! So we have a couple of shops in Norway that sell like super cheap paint, its worth noting that the paint is thin water and I probably would be better of buyint quality paint. But I wanted to spend money where it mattered to me. So as you can see...

And on we go. Next up is roof panels, insulation and plastic. And some electrical to the roof lights. So pretty straight forward process, a little more difficult than the walls because of the insulation not staying in place so I had to hammer the plastic down first then push the insulation...

No time to waste! Onwards we go I got to give credit to myself for that last post, short and straight to the point. Now I dont know what you guys like, long reads or short and straight to the point. But I guess I’ll mix between short and long. Anyways this has nothing with the build to do. OSB...

Onwards! Now its time for the remaining walls. Thank god they were straight, just cut and push in insulation. Its fun when something actually is easy. Then it was time to smack on the wind barrier and plastic sheet. I did not have anymore plastic after the house build so I needed to buy that...

Well here we go again! Next up: The crooked wall. That sounded like an early 2000s horror movie title, anyways. This wall made me question my life decisions and why the f… I just didnt get someone to build a completely new garage for me! But back down to reality, I dont have that kind of...

Next up inside roof! So since I ended the last post in an insane cliffhanger regarding problem with inside height off the garage I thought that I would cover this next. But before I start with the roof, remember that extremely impressive piece of engineering I created as a temporary roof...

Okay, so after all the concrete was gone I needed to level out the surface with gravel, to secure the new concrete from the frost, i made good use of the rented excavator and my tractor to fill in and spread it out, i was very lucky with the original ground being just sand so i didnt have to put...
