Warm Room

[Nigella Bryant]

Hi all, just got hold of a free summer house so going to build a warm room near the dome. Planning on a wood burner (which I've already got) and sofa bed for late night's, lol. Needs a bit of tlc but that's easy. Installing an ether net cable, etc, etc.

That is going to be a great setup! 

What a feeling doing deep sky, with a nice warming fire going along beside. 

Though, as a Swede. Id add a wood burning sauna!

I love the idea of the sauna too.

Thats a nice idea!  Whats the craic with the pallets on the ground?

Just be careful that you don't fall foul of local planning regs by making it "Habitable". A bed and heating could be enough.

Just make sure you have a key to get back into your house later on

Just saying!!😈

True, will make it just a comfy area with emphasis on warm room for the observatory. It won't be a bed as such, thinking sofa bed, lol. I still want to get in the house, lol. There won't be any toilet or water facilities so it won't be habitable as such.

Palets just a cheep way to do the flooring. I'll overlay with boarding. It's completely recycled, lol. It'll offset my carbon footprint, lol.

Neat idea. Gets the flooring off the ground with no effort at all. Envious of your ability to use recycled material. The only recycled in my build is a few bits of wood from previous projects that had been stashed a a corner in case they came in handy instead of being used for fuel!

I was also fortunate that a garden centre near me was getting ride of their palets and they delivered free of charge.  It's amazing what you can recycle and a huge saving. I'd never be in a position to purchase a summer house let alone flooring. Most of my astronomical equipment including my dome are second hand. So I'm doing my bit to help compensate my carbon footprint.

More progress today, looking OK for a free bee. A few minor repairs needed to panels here and there.
