can wait to see pictures..off it.

any ideals.....................off the size..or what kind off heat you will use etc..?

me to sometime think about building one...a big one at least 6 by 6 to 8 by 8.

i already have 2 small one at the cottage..mabe i should bring one down but there very small..a 2 person but small..4 by 6..

..but very comfy.

you might get ideals here or tips.

mines costing me basically nothing. its all framed with 2x10s that i riped down to 2x2s that were left over from a concrete job i did...free lumber is the best lumber--- only money i have in it is my heater and the ply for the floor

heres a couple flix of that i have so far--- its 6x8 6ft on the tall end and 5 on the other. if it looks a little off kilter is cause is sitting in a bit of a sunken spot on the drive way.

hey reel2reel!

looks like it will keep ya warm!nice shack!

yes free wood is always the best,i got all the plywood free and i think all the 2x2 so far!still need the roof tin!the stucco i am adding to the outside will cost only for the strofoam,all rest of materials are free and plus i am a cement mason so acrylic stucco will give it a nice look and seal it tight and it will not be much heavier with it on
