It is great to see other countries building methods and materials.
Are those solid concrete blocks on the foundation wall? Labor looks the same here, three guys and some diesel powered equipment.
What are the specifications on the building and what do you plan on working on it the shop?
This is one to watch...

Love the micro-bus!
the corrugated steel is not the roof covering.
On top of it will be the insulation and directly on the insulation the tarmac (correct word?). This is what you call a "warm roof". This way you wont need any ventilation for the roof structure. The selfsupporting steel profiles are strong enough to land a helicopter on.
This way of building is not very common here either. Except for shopping centres and so on. But it is a very cheap way to build. It has the advantage that you build the walls last and can use the shelter in the process.
You love the bus? Its actually a panelvan. I have 5 different aircooled Volkswagens and a 1952 westfalia funeraltrailer.

More building pics please. Awesome design. So it will have a Living roof? Sod? Grass? Or pavement (Tarmack?)
The roofprofiles are ordered to exact length (12,5 meters) and is shot into the top beams with a "Hilti-gun". That means a secured roof over your head within 20 minutes!
I attached metalbrackets to the studs for the walls before raising them and welded the brackets when raised. Really fast and easy.
The roof covering will be rigid insulation, then tarmack directly on top of it.

Many German cities now have "enviromental protection zones" where cars without catalyc converters etc. are not allow to enter. Because of the many cars are no longer interesting on the German market and are sold cheap in Denmark, Poland - you name it. Of cause you then have to pay somwhere around 180% tax on cars when the imported to Denmark (both new and used cars).
But don't get your hopes to high because cars that are more than 35 years old are considderd vintage/historic and allow in the zones.
Workshop looking good.

I think you can only licence a car for so many years now in Germany - then you have to park it - or sell it out of country. Is that right Gustav?
Not exactly. I believe car older than 1992 and less than 35 years of age will need a (expensive) polution tag in their window. Due to this the germans are selling their old cars out of the country where people still think they are nice cars. The Danish government will have to deal with this sooner or later and there is pressure from the european union to regulate the 180% cartax rule in Denmark.

Great to see so many Europeans on the site! Are there three Danes in this one thread? Cool! Gustav, that is a sweet looking shop- looks like you will certainly put it to good use. Nice looking cars too!

More progress.. I bought a used industrialsized "Garagedoor" and cut it down to size. I only used the panels without handles, manufacturers logo and so on. Its one ********* panel. Now I need to build the rest of the wall around the doorhole.
I´ve also started building the top of the walls where they will meet the roof.

It will consist of a 135 mm. layer of insulation a vaporbarrier and 50 mm. "Hard Rock" insulation.
Thanks theres actually a couple of vehicles missing a 1951 bug and a 1952 Westfalia "Funeral trailer" which is actually a hearse that you could tow after your everyday car!
I appreciate the feedback and will bring you more updates soon.

interests me.I couldn´t find a picture with its 17" alloy wheels on it.
This was how it looked when I found it in Nürnberg, Germany.
It was common that the trailer was passed around the village, always being registered to the family of the latest deceased in the village.
The Pink slip had literally hundreds of names on it..

Thanks for posting that. Very interesting. I was thinking it would be more on the lines of a Gun Carriage you see the army use for military funerals.
http://web.atropos.nl/uitvaartaanhanger/index.html is what I found but it's all Dutch (German) to me.
