Hi!
As few of You can remember, my last project was about super-small one car garage. Now it's used only as storage, because i finally made a decision to go "on my own" - i'm starting my own business, to connect my passion with my work.
With a good friend of mine, knowing each other for years and sharing same passion, we both left our jobs to start doing somethin "better". So here we go
We're both in auto detailing for quite a while. There will be a detailing studio and shop, so we will provide services and sell detailing products and cosmetics to other passionates.
We've found a nicely located building, bout 80m2 size, ideal for our purposes. The thing was, it is a disaster inside, with roof leakage, not even one straight wall inside and one wall which we definitely don't want. So i though, why not giving a shot and try to document our cozy place make-over?
That is how we want it to look - sizing is not quite exact, but gives an overall look.
So, the photos how it looked as we took it:
The front of the building - not impressive, but we'll paint it again and there'll be our logo covering whole gate. There will be light sign on the roof as well, about 170cm long and 60cm height.
As we go inside, view on our left side
"Sale section"
My friend and partner in this whole thing, Tomek.
And a nice, 20cm thick brick wall in the background - must go!
Second "room" and "lovely" made electric instalation
"Toilet"
Floor. Kind of. Must go as well
So, it's time to WORK!
DAY 1
We've started with taking off whole roof isolation - and fibreboard and glass wool. Everything was awfully made by the previous owners, everything was loose, wool was not strapped but foiled and nailed to the wooden borders. Not very healthy while disassembling, glass wool particles were flying all over the place....
We've had to take all the isolation because the roof was poorly made and there was water leaking from it all over the place, as you can see, it didn't look nice:
As the roof was made by the owner few weeks ago, we thought we are good to go.
Unfortunately, there still (after over a week with no rain!) was a water "inside" the wool, as you can see here - and belive me, it was one of the driest spots:
Half way there, only wool left
Nice and clean
We've spent the rest of the day tearing this wool down and taking off the nails (a lot!) from the borders, as we want to use them when we'll make a new ceiling.
Tomorrow I'll post our todays work - what we all love the most - some wall taking-down action.
Good Night Guys,
Adam
