So today the Project continued ... on the morning I went to town to shop some electricity materials. After lunch lightning started ...

First pulled many meters of wires in the attick and attached the lamps to the ceiling.

Lamps are made of plastic ... so theylook little twisted due to the screws holding them, but with the cover, they pulled back straight.

Here you can see some wire and brown area upper partof wall ... well this happens when wall is white :) Because of ongoing resturation Project (motorcycle Dnrepr MT-9) I store some parts in the attick. When I started to move around with wires I pushed a rear axel, what was of course filled with oil. So the brown part on the wall is oil dripping from metal ceiling. Ok ... it is garage and kind of acceptable, but it is really pain to get all the oil off from metal - oil is between metal and wood ceiling. Will wipe it out more and eventually will paint it white again. To capture the last bits I added some dust and sand between wooden part and metal sheet (from top). Together there are maybe 50ml oil in loose., but sure enough to ruin the wall.

Together I installed 5 lamps, what could be switched in three ways. Two rows and single one in order to switch of one row of lamps while door is opened. Lamps are above the door.

We got back monday from our Europe vacation in the Baltic. Loved Tallin Estonia, nice old city center and many new high rise buildings. We were told that Estonia is a major hi tech country, there is a self driving bus in Tallin. Very cool!

We took a tour on an old Soviet bus with a knowledgeable, funny, intetesting man dressed in KGB uniform. Saw many historic sights and heard storys from our guide who was living there during Soviet occupation, very humbling.

The garage looks great!

Altough the main point of this forum is threads about garages I have noticed that at some point of development the garage storyes get some extras about the stories of what is going on inside the garages. So ... my build is on idle right now, but at the same time when I was at work one Project still evolved. Time to time I will start postint threads about my hobby motorcycle.

Bike is a soviet time motorcycle DNEPR MT9 (from 1972) with sidecart. I bought it 2015 in disassambled parts and I had an idea to renovate it. Main reason to bought it was to be almost ready with my garage - I had a roof - so I had a place to strore it. During the building process of my garage I have moved the bike parts from one corner of the garage to another one allmost 2 years. Now, when I have electricity and door I decided to start the renovation process parallelly with upgrading the garage.

Goal nr 1 is to get the frame on the wheels. For that I cut the rusted spokes and dissassambled allmost 100%. Then I took the frames and wheels to sandblasting.

I have no pics of this particular bike. Luckily i have a 1975 year model DNEPR MT10 in my garage, so i can copy assamble. 1975 has one long seat while this 1972 has two separate ones. Also older one has 6 volt electric system, while newer has 12 volts.

Great work on the garage. good to see you building it yourself..

Nice colour on the bike too.. tell me is the third wheel on the sidecar driven..?

Or to put it another way is the bike and sidecar two wheel drive..? or is it just the bike rear wheel pushing it along.?

I have a friend with a Ural motorcycle that has drive on the sidecar and a power take off he can hook up to a trailer to make it a five wheel four wheel drive and it goes everywhere..lol

The frame looks very similar...

Greetings, and thanks for the comment.

My bike has sidecart indeed, but i don't have two wheel drive. Basically I could install it it, but i need to change rear driver and mąkę some mods to sidecart.

Dnepr and ural are similar bikes and parts are most cases changeble. In our region two wheel drive was mainly, if not only used by police and military. Nowadays I see these bikes rearly, cause too much of troubles - hands are always oili if you own soviet bike.
