Summer house project

Hi, I will be building my summer house in the next coming weeks/days, the wood turned up yesterday,

My first thoughts of a plan is something like in the pictures below with a flat roof not apex, the brick built shed will be turned in to a mini bar,

I am looking forward to getting stuck into this, but I need to source some cheap windows from eBay that might slow me down.

 

Hi, a little update on this, I managed to get source some windows £10 each and never been installed , I managed to make a start late last night after tea, I still need to locate some cheap doors but its not holding me up for the time being.

 

should be a interesting read , keep us updated I look forward to see how you get on

 

I will do Spruce, once I have the steal work installed for the frame work to rest on, the frame work will go up very quick, its the finishing touches that will take time inside and out,

In between showers I have just got the first bit levelled squared and concreted in, I will have some lunch and move on to the long run .

 

This is my Yucca , that will be sitting above the SH once its finished, it still needs more work on it

 

Hi, a little update, I managed to get the main part of the steel work finished, I will be moving on to some wood work tomorrow weather permitting.

 

Hi all, a quick update, I am now at this stage with this project, very pleased with how its going it should look great once finished.

 

The finished product will now look like this .

 

Did you need planning permission for it Martin?

 

Hi, no it comes under permitted development, there's lots of rules and regulations,

I had to study them before I started work on it. do the wrong thing in the wrong place and planning will come into it.

I have decided to put loglap on the outside and had it delivered yesterday.

 

This is the stage I am at now, not much done from my last update but plenty of thoughts, I will be removing the door wall of the brick built shed, the size of the SH without the shed is 15x9 I think the shed is 8x8, so a nice space to chill out in .

 

Hi, a quick update, one of the doors is now installed, I need to locate a second, and bit of loglap fitted.

 

What are you going to do about a floor? I presumed this would have been done quite early on before installing the windows...

 

^^^
I don't know why you presume this ?. I will just install it the same way I would if the windows wasn't in, it will be a floating floor tied into the framework

I fitted the side panel windows into the loglap yesterday, I am very pleased with the outcome

 

You've worked really hard @martin-f it's coming together really well
