Brilliant Armand...!! You have to mount something VW related, maybe a VW bus big nose badge somewhere high up on a wall at the apex of roof, maybe above the mezzanine level... then date it as well... Will be something to mark the date, and add some history as well... :hangloose:

Armand, why did you opt not to incoporate some sky lights in your construction?

Hi
not a lot has happened so far but I can report that the roof is complete and the building is 99% plastered I also built a door frame for the entrance to my own design. I plan on installing two barn doors which would also look good from the inside (Most roll up doors look :bn: from the inside where i\I will be spending most of my time
Image
Image
Image
The door frame turned into quite a project by itself using 12m of 38x20 square tubing and 12m of 200x50 channel
Image
Image
Image
the hinge mounting points were welded into the structure
Image
Regards
Armand

Vir die interesantheid... wat het die projek jou gekos?

Ek oorweeg dit im in dec vir my 'n garage aan te bou... eers net 'n groot afdak met die moontlikheid vir verdere ontwikkeling later.
