Hallway concreting, workshop door lock replacement

The relocated electric clock cabinet could still only provide 1 x 32 Amperes. It doesn't matter. If one wants to expand, one has to pay.




For expansion, the clock was replaced with a 3-phase and 3 circuit breakers were inserted. I just don’t agree with why with the „B” characteristic?
There are only “Cs” everywhere in the house. Pumpkin is good to have a higher load here and then turn off the electricity first ...




From now on, it's no problem that everything works at same time ...




I had another debt at the workshop door because the door was only locked with a smooth handle and a screw.




I made an atomic safety lock. The cylinder was protected against possible closure by a thick cylindrical piece of steel.




The area around the doorknob was rotten, so I made a replacement there with some scrap iron.




It’s not very pretty here yet, but at least it’s awfully ugly.




The new locking device was installed (behind it was also welded a fairly thick steel plate.




He got a little paint to keep it from rusting.




Finally, the lock insert was included.




After raising the doors, the concreting of the hallway could have come to bring the rooms on one level.




I used some roof slats as a template for the operation. I started from the front door.




I adjusted the level with a spirit level.




I had an easier time laying down the next slat. The expansion foam was also continuously placed along the wall.




I took out the slat from the entrance and moved it to the other wall, then filled its place with concrete.




Looks like pretty good.




I then concreted it from the other wall and filled the intermediate part after removing the slats.




I managed to hit the level quite well.




I still had a little thing in the attic, because there was an opening in the chimney, which is quite objectionable from a fire safety point of view.
This way you will at least have time to set and dry by the time the stove is ready and the heating starts.
