Question: How can i build an out-house/pool-house/garden office?
(Posted by: blackhole168 on 2008-11-14 00:13:26)
I've in a first floor apartment with a massive patio. I'm thinking of building another room on the patio (I already have two pre- constructed ones out there). The pre- constructed ones are very expensive and so I wanted to by building one myself. I'm looking at home- welding stuff and am thinking of constructing and iron frame walled with wood panels and roofed with corrugated steel. I live in a tropical- ish climate so water- proofing and structural stability are major issues (lots of typhoons). I'm also wondering if I can just extend the supply of an outside electrical socket that I've got to power the whole thing; or do I need to take more extensive measures to safely provide electricity for this thing? If anyone has done anything like this or can point me to good reference materials or even plans, it would be very much appreciated! Btw, I'm aiming for it to be about 500 square feet surface area. |
