Re: Shops / Garages

Moneyeater -- it looks like your garage predates your trucks -- by a couple of hundred years! Awesome!

You guys have seen my build thread. I'm not quite as far along as the other guys:

Yes it does it was build in 1866! Last october it was hit by a lightning and we had all the luck that it didnīt burn.It was a cold hit and only destroyed all the electrical installation.The funny side about that is that the lightning cooked every bit of fluid in the logs and killed the woodbugs that were eating up the construction!Now thereīs only dust on my truck not woodpieces anymore!And the insurance payed the new electrical installation with more light and outlets!
Hey your shop lookes awesome and i like the american style homes and shop very much!
Iīll try to build a home next year that bases on a homeplan from " Archway Homeplans"!

Wow, I would have guessed it was much older than that!

And I like the house plans. My biggest complaint about modern building here in the US is that they totally ignore the outside appearance -- only thinking about the interior space. That house, on the other hand, has a lot of very nice architectural details!
