Re: office,some cars and a lift

Re: office,some cars and a lift

i just love this spot as here my 2 cars will be stored

TDI · May 28, 2012

Re: office,some cars and a lift

brand new soaked wooden carriers in the lowest part,roof will be isolated industrial plating

putting a I beam,because the old wall with concrete carriers and pillars will be removed after the new
construction. this will give me more room to turn with cars

oldskool :lol_hitti

making the upperpart ready for roof construction

and since 2 weeks the lower part roof is on!

since last week the upperpart roof is also done
windows + doors arrived
now tearing down the old wall that ''sepparated'' the 2 pieces + smashing it to bits to have a layer of stonegrind. afterwards that will be the base for a polished concrete floor
had a good day,but forgot to take pictures :lol:

so that's where we are right now

TDI · Jun 3, 2012

Re: office,some cars and a lift

location= Belgium
Detached,rear side off our house

bobemmerich · Jun 3, 2012

Wow. Thats a nice space. Keep us updated.

TDI · Jul 3, 2012

finaly some updates!

after breaking down the last old wall,putted all the stones on a pile,ready to dig some earth away to fill up with sand so the base for the 4 pole lift can be created in concrete. once this is done,all the rest off the place can get ready for the polished concrete floor.
the lift will be integrated in the floor so low cars can drive on it without problems
also finishing the 3 little windows in thinsulated roof plates we had left

annyway...

TDI · Jul 3, 2012

ready for first layer=base floor for the lift

and off we go

caution...still wet!
ankered iron pins to secure the second layer (final floor) in this one

*** good as dry

TDI · Jul 3, 2012

egalised the rest,so ready to prepare for final floor also

but first preparing 2 draining points so i can wash my cars inside

50/50

TDI · Jul 10, 2012

:willy_nil

next up is the automatic garagedoor,installing & repainting 4 pole lift + painting the wall's

NickTheNut · Jul 10, 2012

Wow. Looks great! The brick adds a ton of character to the space!

cpl · Jul 10, 2012

nice space you have there!

good work!

keep updating =)

Coyote Red · Jul 11, 2012

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. How much square meters?

HOTFR8 · Jul 11, 2012

Why is the floor lower or not all level ? Do you have something that will fit into the floor in this space ?

TDI · Jul 11, 2012

it's about 135 square meters

the ''space'' in the floor is for my 4 pole lift
it's kind off integrated,so the level off the lift is equal to the floor,so low & sport cars can drive on it and over it without anny problems

Ronny · Jul 11, 2012

I like those large bricks . They are light too aren't they?

-Brent- · Jul 11, 2012

Wow, really interesting project. Nice work. I am eager to see more.

Sorry I should have used the word 'recess' so thank you for explaining to me and I await to see how it fits into this recess in your floor.

TDI · Jul 12, 2012

Thanks for the lovely comments
the bricks are light yes,they are TERCA bricks with ceramic in them

TDI · Jul 14, 2012

paintworks started :thumbup:

southalabama · Jul 15, 2012

looks good, thanks for sharing

JMURiz · Jul 15, 2012

Very cool looking project, recessing for the 4-post lift is a great idea.

busy at the uppersection and completing the resess for the garagedoor

me...myself and i...having a cookie break

Bib Overalls · Jul 17, 2012

Nice work. From what I can tell, there is not much of the original structure left. You guys have certainly made an impressive transformation. Looking forward to learning more about the four post lift you are installing. I hope you got the measurements right!

TDI · Jul 18, 2012

The only thing that's left from the original structure is the right wall and the back wall + 2 little pieces of the front
Well...my measurements just HAVE to be right lol

Scuderia-F1 · Jul 18, 2012

GREAT build, so glad to see a european shop taking form (not that I don´t like the American ones too, but we have a more common problem with space limitations here in Europe)!

Looking forward to see the progress, some pics of that 964 would be awesome...

ODIS · Jul 18, 2012

When I first saw your project, my thinking was: Good! Another fellow that has some real vision and will be interesting to see where the planning will take this project. To this point, it is easy to see your execution has been very well done and it looks like this will turn out spectacular! Congratulations on your project and all your hard work.

Ody.

TDI · Jul 18, 2012

Thanks guy's!
Just back hole after a day working at the shop
I'm verry pleased with the outcome i do have to say.
Like mentioned it isn't alway's easy due regulations in europe but since this was an existinh construction we only had to get our regulations for changing and restoring it
Will post some pictures from 964 & mk1 right after bath & diner
