    some job, love the overall design and mezzanine. Can i ask how you came up with this design or can you point to any good materials of information online

    The mezzanine idea came from this

    https://lifespacecabins.co.uk/oak_frame_cabin/

    The price of that was £65,000 +vat (excluding electrical fittings).

    I then got a quote for similar from a timber frame specialist in NI and that was about €90k.

    So I decided that I would DIY it.

    Day 1,112 of project. 😄

    Cladding done, put down half a cube of topsoil to level up to the corten edging that's retaining the gravel, sowed some grass seed now we've proper weather back.

    Last remaining job is to finish the inside of the French doors and sort out some door seals.

    Oh, and put a leaf trap in the downpipe.

    The fresh larch cladding clashes a bit with the weathered cedar roof shingles but I hope that will even out over time.

    I should really redo the steps in larch but I'll leave that until next year when there's enough grass grown to prevent muddy splash.

    It's a funny looking thing but I'm happy enough.

    I'll take the Kevin McCloud question here..... did you bring it in under 10k? 😁



  • Registered Users Posts: 31,017 ✭✭✭✭Lumen


    Absolutely not. But under 20, surely. I think I stopped counting at about 14k.

    Talking of spending, it's just occurred to me that I could remake the steps in "yellow" Balau to match the decking. I may attend to that in 2022. 😁
