Looks great!! I would love to start from scratch like that!! My only question is: Are you going to plant grass on the roof? :wtf:

HatTrick · Nov 9, 2005

Welcome

Looks good, Chris. Have fun with it. Oh yeah, don't appologize for bad English, I don't think there are too many members here that can speak fluent Swedish. :lol:

RonBou · Nov 9, 2005

That is the exact same thing I was thinking.

What kind of handtools do you use Chris

krooser · Nov 10, 2005

Your "bad' English is better than our "good" Swedish...

Chris · Nov 10, 2005

Thanks for all nice words....

No I don´t have grass on the roof...

Here is a picture when we are working on the roof. I don´t know the english word for it.

Hi chris. Nice build, post some more pictures so we can see the progress.
Im also from sweden and im planning to build something simulaire to what you are doing.

"Hur blev garaget i längsled, för står själv i planeringsstadiet för ett garagebygge och kommit fram till att 6gånger6 meter är lagom för ett enbilsgarage för mek. men undrar om 6meter i längd verkligen räcker för att tex använda en motorlyft?! på en normalstor bil (Dvs ingen jänkare etc.). + hur blev kostnadsläget för garaget rent materialmässigt. Enormt tacksam för svar."

Nice looking place. Congratulations. I like the clay tile roof. My english word for it....scary, working at that pitch!

Welcome.

Neat to see building practices in other countries. For example, what's the stuff on the roof? And how do they plan on attaching the walls to the floor (I see no bolts in the foundation)?

The walls are attached to the foundation with expanderbolts. The stuf on the roof is made from a kind of concret and then they have applides some kind of paint on it. Very common here in Scandinavia.

Hej Joakim!

Jag skulle gärna ha byggt till en meter på längden men fick inte bygglov för det. Plattan är full isolerad 200mm och med vattenburen goolvvärme. Priset inkl. schackt blev runt 50000kr. Virket till själva garaget gick på runt 35000kr inkl. isolering och takpannor. Garageporten 17000kr 2,1x2,75m fjärrstyrd. Det som sen kommer till är färg, klinkers och El.

Hello again Christian.
Fungerar det med så glest liggande ribbor på taket och sen bara lägga takpannorna på?. trodde man behövde trä som täckte hela taket. Jag personligen fungerar på att använda papp, och sen vid ett senare tillfälle montera på plåt.(pga ekonomin.)

Var i kontakt med byggnadsnämnden idag faktiskt och egentligen är tillbyggnad satt till max 30kvm. Men pratade med dom och vi kom fram till att det var okej med ca 35kvm ifall grannarna går med på det så. skönt med grönt ljus på det.

köpte du virket med ngn form av rabatt eller liknande?. har sett att byggmax har fördelaktiga priser. Hur har du klätt ytterpanelen med, finns ju olika varianter man kan använda. asfabord etc?. släng gärna upp lite bilder.

I hope its okay that i write some in sweden, becose i have a hard time with some tecnical terms in english.

But in big i asked him what type of material he is using to cover the sides of the garage + talking about pro and cons about using diffrent types of roofs.

I did send out a list of all things I needed for the garagebuild and then I picked the shop that had best prices. Under the woodpanel on the walls I have used somtheing they call windpapper (vinpapp) it is a kind of papper impregnated with asfalt.

On the roof under tile you can have 2 kind of system, one is like I have done with special plastic firts and then I have used 45mmx70mm that I have put the tiles on. The other system is to put wood (råspånt) all over the roof and then some smaller wood ribbons that holds the tiles.

Hello!

I have been up north with my job (testdriver for Volvo) during december and now I have to build something instead of the garagedoor so I can get som heat inside.

Pictures will be posted when I have done some progress.....

//Chris

Chris · Jan 9, 2006

Pictures from inside

First I had to build an temporary wall where the garagedoor will be placed. Otherwise I could not get it warm inside to be able to paint. Here are some pictures from last weekend.

I really like it. Looks like a job well done.

I am the electrian

I don´t want to mount anything on the wall until I have painted it, that´s why all the tubes are hanging loose

The colours will be
ceiling: white
walls: white and lightgrey (from floor about 80cm) and then a black strip and then a bigger blue strip. I can try to make a sketch at home and put it up here. The pattern will be same as some garages I have seen here but different colours...

Chris · Jan 12, 2006

Painting pictures

Now I have started to paint inside. I painted the white first. In the last picture you can see the used kitchen cabinets that I will mount on the wall. All doors will be painted blue. Cheep way to get cabinets.

autoist · Jan 12, 2006

Ya got enough tires stacked up in there?

DynoDave · Jan 12, 2006

Looks like you're making good progress, Chris!

You know I didn't notice it at first, but that IS a lot of tires! LOL

Yes there is summertires to my both cars + orginaltires for one of them. Due to the winterwether here I am driving with wintertires right now.

DynoDave · Jan 13, 2006

Makes sense to me. The new shop is great storage for them.

No...He's got that secret underwater crash test gig....

Pictures from todays work

Today I have done some more painting and cleaned up the tubes for the electricity. The wall where the garagedoor will be mounted is now painted so I can start to mount the door.

DynoDave · Jan 15, 2006

Wow, interesting conduit/tubes for the wiring. Is that required by code there?

Chris · Jan 15, 2006

DynoDave said:

Yes when you are using wires you have to use the tubes. If you just use cables (where all wires are in one cable) you can install it without tubes.

Chris · Jan 15, 2006

Garagedoor

Today I have mounted the garagedoor. It+s hard work when it was the first time I install a door like this and I did all the work by myself.

swede · Jan 19, 2006

Snyggt jobbat!
Ser mycket lovande ut. Vad har du tänkt dej för takbelysning?
