Euro garage/workshop and cool stuff

[philgood]

Since 3 years,I'm living in this old farm and this garage 32x20


In the garage, the tractor was parked


First,I have built a room for my computer and machine




My project is to make it like that


To be continued...

 

[ghnl]

Your English is fine. And your garage is great!

 

[cyclopsblown34]

No need to apologize for poor english. I bet I'd butcher French if'n I tried to speak or type it.

 

[philgood]

As I said it, here lived farmers,so in the garage were rabbits. I keep the rabbits cages and transform into to store many things: paint,tools,...

Of course one of the first installeted was a fridge a friend don't want no more, perfect look for the garage / Just need a few restauration... and more beer inside !!!

[philgood]

Merci ! l' Est de la France, dans le Jura ( thank you, eastern France,Jura )
Et toi ?

A bientôt !

[philgood]

[frankinos]

bon courage compatriote !!

 

[philgood]

Merci,tu es d'où ?

 

[tonydanzah]

For some reason I didn't think France got that much snow.

 

[viking01]

That's a quite cool old structure! I have a similar garage in size and style, although a bit smaller, and a bit younger.....

I'm living not that far away from you, just south in fact, close to Geneva, in the "Pays de Gex".

[philgood]

OK Viking we are neighbor !

 

[frankinos]

je suis de meaux (77)

 

[uniongoon]

so Kevin,just a few other pics


Any idea what tractor that is, I think it is a 1950 Latil TL 10, 5.6litre diesel, 45 horse four wheel drive. Pretty cool old photos

And that snowblower is kicking ***, look at the throw!!

 

[philgood]

Right Latil TL 10 ! Where do you know this model ?

 

[Vernmotor]

I had no idea they got snow there like that !!

 

[chiefav8r]

Hats off to your garage/workshop. Your english is great, so much better than my french.

 

[e-tek]

Awesome OLD structure! Some of those beam could hold a few engines! How long will it take you to transform it?

 

[philgood]

How long time ? I don't know,because many work in my house too and my wife says it's more important
Here were the cows


25 tons were extracted !

preparing new ground

Mixer truck with long arm going upon neighbor's garage



Replacing some old wood parts



before isolation,I write this" 08/05/2009, PM do this work. It was a sunny day ". When poeple will discover these words ?



And that's continue,building wall between future living room and the barn


My idea was to built the wall with a big window, so I can see my car parked since my rocking chair in the living, but she say " NO!"

Hello and Welcome,

My Granddaughter toured Europe in 2007 and France was her Favorite country.....she's now taking French in school.

My Father was in LaHavre in 1945 on his way to Germany, I have a French Banknote he signed and dated while there. He was in the 69th Infantry Division, They are Famous for "East meets West" linkup with the Russians in Torgau Germany in April 1945. Unfortunatly he wasn't there as he was wounded in combat and was in hospital in England by then.

Here are a few photos taken by my Granddaughter:

Hello guys !
I'll try to answer to everybody ! Jakob, the picture was taken early 70' in the ( french)Jura ,it could certainely be a Schmidt ( I was 8 years old ! )
For the moment it's too cold for working the construction

Not so much than in eastern US but more than in Vancouver ! He you know,French golden medaille Jason Lamy Chapuis is living 30 miles my village and his mother is a american woman !

Jean Louis, i was in vacation in Phoenix,Arizona 20 years ago ( august 89 )
I visited Jerry and Melissa Jess and all their VW toys !!!
And you know what:4 years ago,I pinstriped on a dog house of a beetle named " Doctor Detail",(the job was a little bit hard because all the pieces were in place) incredible,no ?!!!

 

[RIVERWEST AUTO]

[philgood]

The Vanagon under the snow is the 3 rd too, it's a Caravelle GL 1,6 litre tirbo diesel

[german oldschool]

global warming.....
@philgood vous avez aussi beaucoup de neige comme en allemagne.
Le VW Bus c´est trés chic malheureusement la boite de vitesse est
tourte j´ai aussi le probleme avec le passat.

 

[philgood]

welches Passat model ?

 

[german oldschool]

Hey Philgood i hope you don´t mind that I´m writing this in english but at the moment i don´t have time to look up some words in french.(Oder sprichst du auch deutsch?) I have a 94 Passat Variant 2,0 automatic.It started shifting bad and after some research I found out that the trans oil has to be changed every 60000km.After changing its shifts perfect now he has 273000km.
the newer Passat (3b/3bg) also got these problems (tiptronik TT5) I think it is the same as in your Bus.VW tells you that the TT5 auto oil does not have to be changed in order a lot of transmissions break down(especially the diesel 2.5tdi lots of torque).Damn sorry for the journey into automatic historie

Hello philgood

Sympa cette ferme, un beau potentiel... Tu es de quel coin du Jura ? (mon père est de Salins les Bains).
Je suis fan de garage et suis en train d'installer le mien, un ancien batiment industriel de 350 m2 dans lequel j'ai fait un loft à l'étage et un atelier de mécanique (http://www.kustom-garage.fr ) au rdc pour faire des bécanes sympa et des hot rods.
Ma femme aussi préfèrait que je bosse sur la partie maison que sur l'atelier (lol).
Bon courage pour la suite

Nice farm, with cool things to do. Where are you from in Jura ? (My father comes from Salins les Bains).
I'm a garage enthousiast and mine is on progress in and old industrial building of 1000 Ft square by floor (two) where i made a loft on first floor and a mecanic workshop down stairs (http://www.kustom-garage.fr) to make cool motorbikes and hot rods.

My wife ask me to work on loft before workshop too...
Best regards and good chance for next step...

 

[bouille]

Bonjour Frenchy, j'ai découvert ton site par le biais de garage journal et j'aime bien cette passion de la cox, en tout cas tu as un beau split...
Sympa l'Arizona et un sacré parcours sur le sol canadien et US...
Je suis passé plusieurs fois dans le coin (2 x Las Vegas et un fois Cold lake.CA) pour mon ancien boulot (j'ai fait 18 ans dans l'armée de l'air française...).
J'avais une question, quel type de moteur (V12 rouge?) est placé devant le split ???
A+
Francis

 

[philgood]

@ german oldshool: ich spreche ein bisschen deutsch !
thank you for your answer about VW auto trans

@bouille: je ne suis pas loin de Salins. Je vais à la bourse à Montbé les 5 / 6 mars, j'aurai un stand pour la promo d'une rencontre de voitures anciennes à Champagnole les 22/23 mai,peut être passeras tu ?
A+

 

[bouille]

Il y a des chances que j'y passe, tu restes tout le we ?
Tu as un point de chute...
