I would love, love to do something like this at mine. It would solve a lot of problems with the wife!

Only thing is i'd be worried as hell about getting robbed, but I guess its no worse than the house at end of the day?

How did insurance take it? I'm seriously thinking I should take another look at this, i've got a small front yard that would be perfect for this.

some insurers would not go high enough, but you pay extra & tell them your security measures & they just price accordingly

just a quick update,
moved the pc desk behind the sofa as suggest by one member

got a whole new patio & path to the Cabin (might get pictures if you care)

still looking into
4K tv/projector but not really much content out just yet to be worth it. but found a nice 65" Panasonic might need bigger though?

PC upgrades: looking into more SSDS (got 4) ready for Windows 10 might replace my 2x 128GB for 512GB's
tempted by titan X's, but dont think its really worth it yet on 1440p

statues/ wall deco - still not sure
might black velvet the tv wall just for aesthetics, may improve sound more not sure

looking forward to A/C this weekend though

let us know on what you think good screen size would be

smogsy · 6 Jun 2015 at 23:15

bought an NVME drive ready for W10

I'd be interested for some more pictures

I noticed your networking diagram a few pages back, quite liked the idea of redundant ISP connections. Don't suppose you have a generator or something like that for backup power? I've always planned something like that lol.

I haven't read every page of the thread so apologies if you have already mentioned this.

can get some, power wise

im fairly close to a hospital so they cannot cut power willynilly or for to long

Awesome log. Great idea shame I couldn't get anything like this in our back yard without having to get it either flat packed or lifted over the house with a crane.

thats how it comes flatpacked. its like giant jigsaw puzzle

the wooden beams are very heavy
