Nice work Alec. Really appreciate the detail that you went into explaining how and why your built certain elements. Looking forward to the next episode!
Hi Alec This is your "Man Cave" in the back 40 ,in the states they would be installing a moonshine still. Or perhaps The windmill ranch Air B&B. So many possibilities. It does look great, you showed the sides panels interlocking ends and sides, Do you also use nails or glue to keep them together or is it just the weight of the boards above? Add a beer fridge and a TV your guests (or children) will never leave. Take care Owen m
Hi Owen. All your questions are answered in the second episode, "Walls". But for you, screws only, no caulk needed, added a lovely wood fireplace, A/C power from a solar panel but no TV ever. Just the sound of our woods and nature. I think you will like the next one. A
I chose to insulate the floor differently. Instead of insulating on top of the sheathing I insulated below the sheathing between the floor joists. And my critter mesh is attached to the underside of the joists. This saves vertical space. You might say that there's a thermal break because of the floor joists but they are 5-1/2" thick (2x6s) so I figure the break is insignificant.
