Hi, no they do not glare at all. They are mounted 3 meters off the ground, so they are never in eye-sight. They draw quite a lot of power. Each panel is 2x58Watts. I would love to have LED-panels in the ceiling. The lights I have now were free and came from a grocerystore that were renovated...

Way to long since my last post here. Winter is far from over. The official snowdepth for Tromsø is today (4.april) 155 cm (61 in).. I have finished the hatch to the garageattic. It is split in two. The small part can be opened from below using the rope and pulleys. That way I can get up...

Thanks. This firewood is for 3 homes, pus the cabin so we need quite a bit. Thanks. I have gathered a lot on inspiration for the splitter studying american made splitters, but keeping the wedge more like the Finnish make them. It is more suited for our kind of trees. Thanks, We have plenty...

Loaded up and ready to head to our cabin to split some wood! Took the tires of the splitter so it would fit the truck bed. Here is a video of the splitter in action.. We had to split this log prior to cutting it to the right lenght due to its size. The excavator is just running at idle.

I have made a sortingtable for the log splitter. The sheet is 4mm thick.

A little side-project is my somewhat weldingcart.. Its just a frame to hold the plasmacutter and organice all the cables to the two machines.. Bolted to factory holes in the Esab welder.. Nothing fancy, but it made everything that much easier. Notice the hook on the lower corner of the welder...

One major project this spring/summer/fall is almost finished, just tiny details remaining. I have made a new log splitter. Our old splitter was just to small and with only a single blade it took forever to split wood. I wont spam you with pictures, so heres a few selected.. The splitter will be...

Hi Drivesitfar Way to long since I last wrote anything here. Life has been busy the last year so I have not had much time anything really. Our daughter turned 1 year old a few days ago and doing well. I am currently home on parental leave and will be home until december. My girlfriend stayed...

The platforms are huge! When the 5.th platform is installed the walking distance from one end to the other will be over 1,1km/0,7 miles. It ***** if you forgot you paperwork on the desk at one end :lol_hitti Thanks you, our little girl sure has changed our lives.. ...to the better. I cant...

It consumes 10 liters/hour, that should be little over 2,6 gallons/hour, not cheap to un, but it wont be running for hours unless I am doing something special like deicing a car or something..

The Johan Sverdrup field will be a great place to work when its all finished and produsing oil. It is estimated to produce for over 50 years, so I will hopefully have work there until i retire... ...in 34 years. Thanks, another milestone was reached today. I got the upper wall finished s I...

Thank you W2Synth for that nice comment. I have not had the time to do any work in the garage for a long time.. New job (same company, only new platform) and lots of training and courses while onshore... Here is a short video of installation of the last two platforms of "Johan Sverdrup" were I...

I am SO looking forward to having the garage done and ready to be working IN. The dodge ram really needs some attention this winter. Doors are rusted and needs paint, and all maintanance have been delayed due to all other activities this summer. With the baby and the need of a bigger familycar...

A little progress is made. Half of the ceiling plates are installed and half of the front wall is insulated and plated. My neighbour helped me dismantling and installing the garagedoor. It is a bit challenging installing the plates by myself, even with the platelift I have to move the ladder...

Very nice build. Despite the size, the design makes it a beautiful building! Subscribing for this one!
