The roof is finished

 Finally a weekend without rain or snow, so I could walk on the roof without falling down. The last bits and pieces is on, and the roof is finally water tight all around.

More roof

 The outer roof is on. That was 10x more work than I thought. No way I could do it without help from my sons. Still bits and pieces to be done.

Roof

Mounted condensation stopper foil and stringers for the roof skin. That was a whole lot of work, and it had to be done while balancing up there, trying not to fall down. Completely battered today :-) One of my sons came and helped.

The structure is coming up

The (wooden) structure arrived. The main blocks was raised this weekend, with lots of help from my 3 sons. It would be impossible without them due to the sheer weight alone. One of them is a wooden boat builder, which helped a lot. He came all the way from Fredrikstad.

The wooden structure is a partly pre-fabbed thing from Lundqvist in Sweden. So far, very satisfied.






Insulation must also be done on the outside to prevent the cold from creeping in during cold winter months.



One of my sons got himself a Honda Africa Twin the weekend before. He also "sacrificed" the whole weekend helping out, instead of riding his new bike. The prospect of having a warm and dry place for his bikes in the winter was just too tempting I guess :-) He also has a smaller Honda, a CL 500.

The fundament is complete

The fundament is complete. I can also have a toilet in there :-) but that's for later. Now I have to wait for the structure to arrive.

New shop an other stuff

Finished insulating the garage with help from my son. Now this is finished, but is at the moment filled with Onex and thousand cases of bits and pieces. Got some cabinets and so on also.


Started working on the new shop. It will be 60 m2, insulated and heated and with water. Hopefully before Christmas, we'll see. Still almost a month before the wooden construction arrives, some kind of Lego-ish thing.
