If he puts the car in close to one end, he'll have over a metre to work with. Also, you are allowing 500mm for the walls each end including the internal wall. I'd have thought 300mm for one end and 150mm for the other would be more like it, no ?Originally Posted by Daz
He's also got an extra metre of work area in the right hand bay.
My garage is only 5.4m square and I've got room to jack the S13 under the diff with the door shut. I'd kill for another half a metre though.
My quick maths in my head was something like this. I rounded the end dim down as you're never going to park the car bang on against a wall.If he puts the car in close to one end, he'll have over a metre to work with.

6300mm
- 140mm Studwork with full fill insulation
- 12mm Plasterboard? or plywood
- 25mm Outer wall finish, timber cladding I would guess.
= 6122mm internally (on the left bay)
- 4700mm (Nissan 200sx length)
/2
= 710mm each end of the car.
It's a bit bigger than I thought. That's what I'd do if it was in the UK but prob only use 89mm studs. I'm curious as to what the wall build up is considering it's in Finland, I'd assume the wall would be closer to 300mm and packed with loads and loads of insulation..
The room in the back is just a storage room. I have some plans for the electrics, nothing final yet.Is the room at the back a "dirty" room ? ...so you can make sparks and clean things without covering the cars and the other bench ?
Have you thought out the electrics ? What are you going with ?
And the doors ? Insulated roller doors ? Up and overs never give a good seal
I'm interested as I'm just kitting out my double at the moment.
Doors will be roller / sectional doors.

It's something like this:
- 13mm gyproc
- 150mm Studwork with mineral wool insulation
- 13mm gyproc
- Outer wall finish
As for the floor there will be 2x50mm styrofoam under the concrete. I'll also have electrical underfloor heating.
It's mainly for the S14, but might keep another car in the shorter side of the garage as close to the wall as possible so I'll have as much working space for the Nissan as possible.Wow - looks nice thereI love mountainous/snowy countries. One day I'll move back to one...
How many cars are you planning on putting in there? Jst the one and you'll have plenty of space to work on it. 2 and things might get a bit tight. More info on the house too please!
IIRC most of Finland that isn't cliff-face/mountainside or otherwise vertiginous is woodland...
And the other side of the garage has a lot more room to work with anyway
Well there were several restrictions. Mainly for the size of the garage. 60mm² was the maximun size allowed and 7m the max width.
There sure are lots of wood here
Had some time to work on the garage today.
Here are some pics.
Sorry for the crap quality, they are taken with my E7...
to be continued tomorrow...
Better get it up quick before Winter starts to bite
Press on !
Studwork is almost ready
Roof trusses will be delivered sometime next week, so I should have a roof within couple of weeks
Nice. Surprised you didn't make the framework in sections then lift it into place.
Good watching how fast it goes up isn't it
looking good. You doing all the work yourself or you having contractors doing most of the work?
I'm doing all the work with my dad
makes it oven more impressive then.I'm doing all the work with my dad
Least you will have piece of mind knowing that no corners have been skipped.
What sort of heating will you be using for the garage and house?
Ive always said that if i even build my own place id like to use geo thermal heating for the house and for the garage id like to use a used oil burner
I will install electric underfloor heating to the garage and maybe an air source heat pump. For the the house the main heating is electric and there will also be air source heat pump and a baking oven. So I will be heating it mostly by burning wood.
Nice work mate
Of all the projects I've done on my house - the garage was by far the best!!
Made some progress this weekend.
Got all the angle brackets in place for the roof trusses.
Then made frames for the door and windows. Did the windows first and door last.
And then I noticed that the windows were 6cm lower than the door
Apparently I should have measured them from the bottom plate (whatever it's called in english?) , not the concrete, well anyway had to take them apart.
Fixed:
Also made second studs around the garage doors and put some wool between the two studs.
And this is how it stands now:
And a bonus picture:
Oh and someone asked about the house...
It will be just a basic little house. Won't be building it myself, just did all the groundwork insulation etc..., but the house itself will be built by the company I bought it from.
It's from a company called Muurametalot. The house model is "Kaijansaari"
It has 106m² living space.
These are the pictures from their site. We did some changes, but will be almost like this:
That was meWondered how your houses there compared to the Alpine chalets I used to live in
Looks nice though - I'd love something like that but making do with our old farmhouse built in 1850 (or thereabouts)
The bottom timber is a sole plate. Usually you fix a sole plate down first then you fix the panelled sections to the sole plate
Garage is looking nice
I guess I should update this thread as I have made some progress. Haven't got nearly as much done as I would have liked because of the weather
The arm in the Hiab wasn't long enough so had to lift the trusses on the roof by hand. Luckily they weight only ~51kg.
Got them all in place on friday 23.12 and started to work on the supports on saturday.
On sunday it was snowing so heavily that we decided not to continue, but it stopped over night so started again on monday:
And then the storm came and almost ruined the rest of the week
But it did pass before the weekend so I got something done again:
Have done a bit more, but didn't take pics as it was dark...
