Great update, looking forward to the next video already. Well thought out plan you have.👍

[@ReefDrama]

Hey Craig, thank you very much 😀 You don't think I've missed anything out or overthinking things? Would hate to get all the internal walls and ceiling complete and then reliase I've missed something. I'm trying to forward think as much as possible and future proof the building too. Thanks as ever for supporting my channel 😀

Good luck mate will look amazing when done

[@ReefDrama]

Thanks mate 😀 Lots of work, but I can't wait for completion. Or at least 2nd fix electrics so I can get rid of the extension cable from the kitchen!! 😆 Bit of a spoiler alert, but it's all painted now outside. Looks fantastic 👌 As always, thanks for supporting my channel 😀

That's amazing mate have a cabin in garden as well much smaller than yours but I'll be getting a 4ft shallow in there at some point. Can't wait for the next vid.

How about painting the floor with rubber paint to protect it…. And clad the walls around the bottom with waterproof panels to make a wet room for the lower part. Any spills, no problem.

Hey, that's not a bad idea for the floor. The walls I'm kinda planning something similar. My current plan for the floor is on top of the marine ply I'm putting lengths of 25mm batons from front to back with 2.4m x 600 x 25mm Celotex PIR Insulation inbetween. On top of that, there will be 12mm waterproof laminate flooring. I guess I could paint the rubber paint on the marine ply 1st 🤔 I know 25mm insulation on the floor isn't much, but this is for inside of the building and at least its something without making the laminate flooring come up above the double door threshold. Next year on the outside, underneath, I'm looking at trying to fit 100mm PIR Insulation in between the galvanised steel frame. Although getting under the right-hand side of the building will be very problematic !! The walls I'm having 12mm ply fitted but not all the way to the floor (an inch or so above the laminate). On top of the ply, all round top to bottom will be the plastic bathroom panels, so it will be easy to keep clean and wipe down. What do you think of those ideas? I'm also debating installing a floor drain, but it's another potential draft and a creepy crawley highway inside !! Lol. Thanks for supporting my channel 😀

Why rtf diameter to then upgrade to 6 x 4…. Go straight to 6 x 4….. you’ll also gain an extra foot when you enter.

Hi, I believe the company supplying normally puts a 6x2 across the length of the roof in the middle for support on the larger buildings. This would be an issue for the cold roof that I wanted. I did want additional support, so I opted for front to back alongside the normal 4x2's. The ends of the 6x2's have been cut down, so they sit at the same height as the 4x2's. Thought it was a good idea. I'm not sure if I could have the roof any higher due to permitted development and having to be within 2.5m high. Is it possible I could have done what you suggested but this option wasn't given to me when I ordered the building. If I ever do it again, then at least I will know and learn from this build 😀 Thanks for supporting my channel 😀
