The back wall of the shop

On the back side of the shop the wall need to be made of some kind of brick or concrete. It also need to be insulated. My wall is made of this new "material" or process from Vartdal. It consists of foam bricks that are set in place, then filled with reinforcement bars and concrete is poured into it. Almost exactly like LEGO. The result is a very strong and completely insulated wall. On the inside the wall must be plated with sheets of plaster for fire proofing. A rather interesting house building concept and a movie of the process can be seen here

Concrete floor in place

Early this morning the concrete was pored in to make the floor. As can be seen on the right edge, the floor got a bit larger than planned...

The new shop - base

The base for the new shop is finally being finished. After digging and blasting, the concrete floor will be laid tomorrow on top of insulation and steel.
