Summer house project

I really like those windows.

 

Hi, a quick update on this, I have made and fitted the roof and roof sheets and managed to install more cladding, the pictures below is where I am to date

 

Hi Martin

Looking great, can't wait to see the final thing.

I've also knocked the shed front wall out to make the SH bigger and installed a new widow in the GH, I will be able to look straight into the GH from the SH

 

Hi, a quick update, more cladding installed today

 

Looking great

 

Hi, all the cladding is finished and a few coats of stain applied.

 

Hi a bit of an update i am now at this stage.

 

Looks like you're nearly there Martin Just one thing , why is it a summer house , when it is attached to the house ?

 

Thanks Harry, I don't know to be honest i was sat here one day and said to the wife i will build you a summer house and called it a summer house from that day, cant it be a summer house if its attached to the house ? one for the experts

 

Harry has a good point Martin. Your planning department may well see it as a house extension if somebody tells tales and tell you to demolish it.

 

blimey silly me as if i would be that silly

You can call it what you want mate !

 

summer house it is then

 

you should be fine under PD, 3 meters out and full width of house build comes under PD as long as you don't build higher than 2.5 meters, also you'd struggle to call it a permanent dwelling as long as there is no TV cable installed inside. theres a lot of things you can get away with under PD aslong as you follow the guides. looks good! i have a query though, when building and attaching to the house what did you use to stop damp coming through the wood and into the brick above your damp course if that makes sense? i know when decking this can be an issue so only presume having wood batterned up to the house it could arise in the future?
