Updates of progress:

Altough at the beginning of the work there were many regulations about fire safety, it appeared that the rulez are changed and it is not mandatory anymore to make a garage as separate fire zone. That made my build lot easier. I skipped modifications to the left wall (it is polyested insulation)...

Yesterday I got 9 liters of white exterior paint (for bricks and mineral plasters) and today I made a first coat. As expected I ran out of paint, but it was just neccesary to get the overview of consumption. It is needed to bring more at least 18 liters for finishing first coat and make second...

After 24h of setting I just wiped off the extras with leather glow and some metal tool ... point was just not to grind those hole too neat and to blend them in with surrounding wall. Hopefully they are not visible after the paint.

Greetings again at 2017. After long pause of progress it seems that some more work will be done at this year. Main goal would be to finish interior in order to start building cabinets during colder periood and get some opportunities to put the stuff out of sight. The prep work started with...

Respect man - You have greated an order in chaos. I like your driveway, roofing and lightning. Second thing I noticed is the flag in the garage - definetly will steel the idea to present the proudness of the country. Another thing I´m with you is the vehicles you are working with...

Welcome to Estonia. Hopefully you enyoi the time here. In Tallinn you will see some good exaples of medieval city. By visiting the capital you must stay openminded to make difference between true Estonian heritage and tourist traps. Pitty if you don`t have a time to travel to South to Tartu or...

Hello again Thanks guys for the support. I`ll forvard the supportive comments to the guys you see on pictures. The Project will go to stand mainly due to the reason I have to travel a lot during the winter. As I can predict from the previous years, the next open period to carry on with the...

And basically thats it for this year. Due to the upcoming winter there will be no big changes for this thread anymore. Next improvments will start with next spring, when the main effort will go to interior - ceiling, lamps, painting and building some cabinets. Until that time I will keep...

Time to report some changes for the guys who are interested. Got the outside electricity done. Just installed two outlets - one for christmas lights to the top left side and one for cars engine heaters to the bottom right side. At the same time installed two lamps with automatic lightsensor...

Reflection is fake cause the work has to go on with water to support the concrete to cure, not to dry. Covered with water:

And then came the day to pour. For me just another day to go to work, but at the end of the day some changes had taken place.

Had to do more prep work to pour: firstly removed the door between two rooms Secondly added a barrier to ceep the concret in. Also needed to make a acceptable angle to the parkinglot in front of garage.

Rebar after plastic: Work on progress: And the outcome. Basically ready for concrete ... just need to build a barrier to the door to stop the concrete to fall out. Also need to lay a soft barrier to the walls to separate the floor and wall.

Got some plastic laid down:

After compacting the gravel I had to come up with a system, to get the compactor back on the transportation. It was 200 kg compactor - at the end of the day the basefloor is feeling solid. Now I am ready for the rebar followed by concrete .... probably no fast progress in this week, due to the...

Hello again. Due to the busy times at work there is nothing significant to report. Pictures will do the talking:

And after 4 h of operating the handcart. As you see it´s not level yet. Tomorrow the work continues until the last bit of the material is in. Hard part is working after noon, due to the sun.

Fortunately my phones camera quit working and I had to change to another camera. Despite the bad quality hopefully you get the idea what is going on. Today I recieved the material to fill the hole and before that I laid town a geomembrane to obstruct the sand to mix with stones. I recieved...
