This is cool mate, reminds me of this spoilt kid I knew when I was younger - his dad was a builder and built him a little "house" like this in their garden, next to their swimming pool lol, but yours is way cooler, his was made of our brick, yours looks so much cooler. I want one

Hows the Bedec barn paint looking after a couple of years? How many coats were applied? Any flaking or fading? I've got a timber car port/garage and want to add extra waterproofing over the preservative already applied. Cheers.
so we done 1 thin coat when it was built. this year we done another. so 2 years?
if you done multiple coats that were decent i would say good 3 years.
inside is still fine with no repainting
no flaking happened just could see if fading in some places thats all.

The internet connection in the man cave. Is it a direct line in to a router or a ethernet cable ran from main house to outside? Im looking to do something similar in my big outside shed but Virgin wont install 2 routers into the house and i dont want to comprimise the connection inside but needs to be high speed in the man cave for me and my son gaming.
I ran 2x Cat6a cables (50M) outdoor version in MDPE tubing 
I get the full speed
only need 1, but 1 as backup!
goes from my Virgin Router to a Netgear 24 port switch. rthen i have a Netgear Router in Wifi Acess point mode via Wifi in garden + cabin

Ok. Nevermind if you read this before the edit I'm kind of with you. Do you have the links to the equipment you bought?
Is this hard to setup for a noobie to networking?

Thanks mate. Think mine will be less complicated than that as it will only be my pc and sons ps4 in the cabin. I was thinking virgin box in sitting room. Wire running round outside of the house into cabin connected to a router with wifi access. Devices connected with cat6 cable to maintain good speeds.
Should work??

Enjoy. Wish I had the space for that size telly - Still, I'm happy with my Epson projecting onto 92" screen & my ickle 32" Panny.As long as the second router is in WiFi access only mode you will be fine. Or turn off DHCP it

Would it be easier to keep wifi off in the out house and connect everything via cable to avoid any conflicts?
