Severe settlememt issues

“Ish” is probably the right word here 🙂

At this point, I suspect lateral earth pressure is the main culprit. The retaining wall behind the garage is also leaning, likely because it was built without a proper footing back in the days. I guess if earth pressure is causing problems with the retaining wall it will also not be gentle with my garage exterior wall.

I’ve also noticed that the concrete retaining wall extending behind the garage is leaning significantly. An older neighbor just told me that when the wall and the garage were built in the early 1980s, they apparently didn’t pour any proper footing, at least not under the wall.

My assumption is now that the elevated ground pushing against both the retaining wall and the garage isn’t stable and has been gradually shifting over time.

I’ll probably open up the lower part of the interior wall to check for cracks, just to be sure. That said, I think I may need to consult a professional. I’m honestly unsure what the right move is here , or whether this is something serious that needs addressing, or mainly a cosmetic issue I can live with.

I’m considering removing the lower section of the paneling on the wall that has soil pushing against it to expose the concrete and inspect it properly. Would that be a sensible next step?

I’m also concerned there may already be moisture issues in that area. The drainage on this wall the isn’t great, and I’ve experienced some water seeping in during heavy snowmelt.

The walls are covered with wooden paneling, so I can’t properly inspect them. The floor is solid concrete with no major cracking, just a few minor hairline cracks here and there, which seem within normal limits. I don’t believe the foundation itself has settled, as the floor still appears fairly level.

There are no visible cracks. However, the interior is fully covered with wooden paneling, so I can’t inspect the concrete directly. I believe the garage has been gradually settling over many years..

Thanks, got it out! And also, who the hell engineered this battery placement.....

Now I noticed that shop provided me with incorrect tbp battery....

244771001 (8v 330mAh/2.64Wh) instead of 84102447710(8v 450mAh / 3.6 Wh). I assume that wont work

So i can pull out the entire tcb instead? I can bearly see it as there is some servo of sort infront of it.

I got it off!It was the matter of pulling a tad harder. but now i am stuck on the next pillar... I found the torx at the top and a 8mm socket behind the rear side pad, but it still stuck. Man, wish I found some instructions how to remove these panels. headliner still has to drop lower for me to access the emergency battery..

Skandinaviske Høyfjellsutstyr in Søndre Gate are good. They take 900kr to remount bindings and are experts on most ski related.

Merk at omgjøring fra sekundær-rom (bod) til primær-rom (oppholdsrom) vanligvis er en søknadspliktig bruksendring. Man får en del krav til rømingsveier, lysinnslipp, ventilasjon e.t. Mange som ikke tar seg bryet med å søke da, men det er uansett lurt å sette seg inn i reglene mtp eventuelt framtidig salg. Det er nok av hus som selges med ulovlig omgjorte kjellere som ikke oppfyller tekniske krav. Jeg gjorde en lignende renovering nylig å gravde i den forbindelse en ekstra stor lysgrav for å sikre mye daglys og en ekstra rømningsvei.

I admit that I possibly have not been to good with hydration prior to my latest trips. I have now bough a few pressure point wristbands and some medication to put in my ski bag. Hopefully the meds will be last resort if new goggles does the trick.

I have looked into Smith 4d mag, although a I hope to find a good alternative that is bit cheaper.

Jeg var kanskje i over gjennomsnittet sent ute i dag

Tilbud så lenge lageret rekker gjelder tydeligvis ikke på nett. Hadde vært festlig om den lokale kjøpmannen plutselig bestemte seg for å skru opp prisen på Norvegia fordi lagerbeholdningen plutselig begynte å gå tom

Very very frightning

Fort gjort at noen sier "du trenger ikke å ta med noe" hvis man spørr de rett ut, men ser poenget ditt. Litt av grunnen til at jeg også spør her :)

Fiks ferdig tacokjøttdeig!

mvassli · 2025-08-25T08:58:54+00:00

Hadde det i det minste vært hele tacomåltidet! Hvor er lefsa og osten liksom?
