Tackar!

Det blir lysrör 2x36W helt kapslade. Totalt blir det 8st så det borde räcka.

Todays work...

Today I have been working on the electrical central and done som putting (or how do you say when you place putty on the walls).

 

[krooser]

Nice work...keep us updated....

 

[DynoDave]

In deed. I'm glad you have to keep track of all those wires, and not me!

 

[Darren M.]

That's some insane wiring. What all are you using in the garage??

It´s just normal electricity, tv antenna och telephone...but I have separted all outputs and lightning so they have own fuses that´s why all the cables.

Looking good Christian. I am calling the insurance company about my garage. You were right about the roof. It has sunk in the middle.... =( Should be covered by the insurance of the previous owner.

I have been working on the car today, and I have begun to make plans for the garage too. First thing is a proper oven/"fireplace". Cold as H..l there today. -18 outside and maybe -5 inside......

looks great! I like the DIN rails. Do you have to put the fuses in a box?

There will be a cover over the the distribution box so just the switches on the circuit breakers are available.

Cabinets

Done some work on the floor and start to mount more cabinets...

 

[krooser]

real neat....I like how your construction methods are different, yet similar, to ours in the States...

Done some work on the floor and start to mount more cabinets...

Återigen, snyggt. Förmodar att det är IKEA-skåp? Har gått i precis samma tankar själv och funderar på att montera det i sommar. Jag behöver dock flytta en dörr och ett fönster först. Men vad gör man inte för att få det som man vill ha i garaget.
Vad har du tänkt att ha som bordsskiva?
Jag undrar dock varför du valt att lägga klinkers i garaget, vad var det som fick dej att välja det istället för tex. epoxy?

Mera foton, följer ditt projekt med stort intresse.
Mvh.

All i caught out of that was "IKEA" and i'm thinking, that those cabinets and everything came from there... i think mine will too. www.ikea.com

Sorry guys, a poor translation then.
Once again, very nice. I assume that the cabinets are from IKEA. I'm planning to the same rebuild in my garage, just need to move a window and a door first. But then again what doesn’t one do to get it like you want in the garage.
What are you planning to use as a desk surface?
I'm still a bit curious why you chosen tiles on the floor instead of using epoxy.

Please post more pictures, following your project with great interest.

I don´t know if the cabinets are from IKEA. I have bought them used from old kitchen. As desksurface I will use waterproof plywood.

Why I use tiles instead of epoxy is simply the price.

Well those "old cabinets" are whats going in alot of "new" homes in texas... i guess you should see some of our "old cabinets" lol

 

[Chris]

Tomorrow the plumber comes to fix so I get water and heat into the garage.

I also found today on sale an board of oak. It´s not perfect quality but the price was right so I bought 2.

Today I have worked with the cabinets and the workbench...

 

[DynoDave]

Nice progress Chris. I love that wood countertop!

 

[Chris]

More work has been done on the workbench....and the floor

 

[shopnut]

Chris,

It's interesting to see how they construct things in other countries. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your experiences!

 

[Chris]

Some more pictures

I have got the cabinets doors painted and have put up some tiles above the workbench.

I have also started to put up the trim....don´t know if that is the right word for the wood that I have painted black and are just under the celing. The ide to paint the trim black I have got from this amacing forum...

 

[swgray]

don´t know if that is the right word for the wood that I have painted black and are just under the ceiling.

That would be what we call "crown molding"

 

[Chris]

I am starting to see the end of my garageproject...

Here are some pictures.

I believe it goes like this, 10000 Swedes ran through the weeds chased by one Norwegian. 10000 Danes ran through the lanes chased by one Norwegian. Iv'e noticed that in Europe you will never find Vinyl or Aluminum Siding, it seems to be an Amer. phenomenon. Roofs are all clay tile or slate, they last forever. Great looking project, my hats off to you for doing a lot of the work yourself. Keep the pics coming. Just kidding about getting chased through the weeds. can't we all just get along
