Been realy busy last week getting everything dome for my new home. I thought I promised pictures somewhere, so here they are:
Here you see the living room and the doot to the bedroom. At this point, we already painted a lot, the top left piece is still the original color. Last week I painted alle the woordwork that was in there  (I rather paint steam engines, takes a lot less time)
This week I've been busy with replacing the floor, it now looks like this:
But the most important thing is that I got this in the garden:
In time I will convert it into a steam engine workshop

That floor sure looks nice too, I think you are making some nice improvements. Keep us posted as you get settled in and I hope that you can be steaming soon.

I think it will still fit in there if I put a workbench in it, and otherwise I can just put it outside in the garden.

Erik, looks like a very nice place and a nice shed (aka workshop) in the bargain as well. I hope you settle in soon and can resume steaming vs. painting walls!
cheers,
Roger

I'm in my new home now
I'll still be a bit absent on the forum here, I still got to do a lot off small jobs to do, and I don't have a workbench to work on the engines yet.
Here you can see me painting a radiator in 1 minute

Erik, an amazing sanding, vacuuming and painting job there...
Good that you found a place, next need to build a workbench and get some steam time in!!! A cheap bench can be made from a door and some cement blocks!
