This looks a very good idea. Can't wait to see how it progresses through to completion. Chris

I 've just had a thought! Unusual I know. You could use that as a man cave and do your modelling in there. Only one snag. The hot tub would have to go. I'll leave you and your wife to discuss that one

I just know how that conversation would go, it would be a very short one. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

That is a lovely bit of construction there Ken! There's just something about a pristine clean and smooth wooden building/model/diy that I really love. It's always a crying shame when the wood has to be stained or painted afterwards! The love of it probably stems from my childhood when a bit of 'good wood' for a project was something that wasn't coated in mud with a family of slugs in residence from the garden - a bit that was but not rotten was deemed 'acceptable' A beautiful looking room!

This is what you call modelling on a grand scale. Very nicely done, kpnuts. Chris

Now that is kinda cool! Looks like it was dead simple to build? Merry Christmas, Mark “Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.”

So our boss kindly gave us Christmas eve off (love where I work) so I glazed the summer house and stained it with sadolin unfortunately swmbo didn't like the colour, fortunately I agree, so we bought some cornflower stain and this is the first coat (which I must admit I like much better, goes with the cream really well)  Ken's the name modeling's the game.

A very good choice of colour if I may say so. It’s going to look very smart when finished? Chris

OK 2 more coats of stain (one more I think would do it)   Got the inside stained, got the electrics in.     And importantly somewhere to hang the dressing gowns  Our friend is coming round tomorrow (he owns a flooring business) To put some 1/4 inch ply on the floor and half way up the wall then cover it with vinyl. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Be careful you don't make it too homely, kpnuts, SWNBO might start thinking that you could live in there permanently!! Chris
