What is the thermal rating of the pine walls?

That's bloody awesome!
What are you going to use it for?
What are you going to use it for?
It will be a utility room for our white goods and an office for me and missus (and a bolt hole). Will also have a sofa bed for the parents to sleep when they come over (you can see where I am going here)

Superb build, Keops cabins are quailty.
We need our 'Home & Garden' sub forum.
Quink: That's a lot of concrete to mix,get ready mix, remember one cubic metre, will equates to approximately 30-35 wheelbarrow loads, so look for a firm that has a minipump if access is a problem.
When I laid the hard standing,I had it pumpd, as lorry couldn't make the tight turn reversing into track, it saved the back breaking
barrowing.

Looks fantastic

I'm so jealous. I'm trying to convince the missus that if we are to stay in this house, we're going to need one too, once kids come along.

Get a attic conversion.
Danza, I reckon that's an excuse, so you can claim it as your man den.

Very cool.....but not sure if better idea would have been buying a bigger house as now all 3 of you will just be in a cabin rather then the house.....

I'll let you know when its finishedIts not over yet... I think its going to come in at about 10k, which is what I got for my car, but saying that I did not account for how much the damned paint costs etc etc.... Anyway its at most a 3rd of the price of a similar sized extension.
A bedroom for them and a bedroom for the new kiddy in the house and a shiny new outdoor office for working from home, with a utility room in there too. Sounds like a great idea.
and started relaying the patio...
did you lay the slabs on screeded builders sand?
Soldato
Very nice but what if you have a boy? I suppose that Wendy house could become a fort

That is fantastic. Would be brilliant for an office.

Damn right!
Impressive! I think looking at the price of the extension has made it possible for you to justify doing the log cabin properly. You've not done it on the cheap (although you've been very prudent and hands on to save money) and the end result will be very satisfying.
