A few more updated pictures of the shop

Based on previous experience I wanted the shop larger. I don't think it's physically possible to get a too large shop :-) This one is 60 m2. Up from my previous 35-40 m2. It's now painted fully on the outside (not just primed, although the color is very similar) and on the inside. I went with a rather unusual color on the inside. Light pink, after looking too much on the fire retarding plates. We call the shop the pink elephant :-)

It's fully insulated, heated and with fire retarding plates on the inside. They are mounted over fiber plates, making it easy to mount stuff.

Only some plumbing left.  The Onex is already there, nice and warm and dry. It was previous in my garage which also was nice and warm and dry, but my wife wanted a nice and dry and warm car instead :-)

As you probably understand, I'm a biiit fed up with making shops now. This is the third one. Actually the fourth counting my garage that at least worked as a storage for a year and a half.

 

The shop is virtually finished

I have been very sloppy updating. The shop is finished. It has been painted outside and inside. Fully insulated and with electricity. I need a short plumbing job and work benches and to get organized. Below is some pictures from last year. I will take some new pictures very soon.

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.
