That "log cabin" doesn't look much beyond some strips of pine - rather little by way of insulation if you're going to be out there in the winter. I'd aim to build a wooden frame, then insulate it with straw bales and finish with plaster.

I actually have a large summerhouse in my garden which has a division in it to effectively make 2 rooms. I used to use it as a home office/workshop.
I've put a second 'skin' inside the bit I use as a computer 'room' to insulate it, have heating and lighting and a telephone as well as wired network. I now use it as my 'retreat' rather than an office, and go in there for gaming and general internet/email stuff when I don't want to be hunched over my laptop on the sofa indoors.
The summerhouse cost me circa £3000 at the time, but I did have to pay extra to have it wired out by a Part P spark which was a bit "stand and deliver" but a legal requirement.

29th June 2010, 12:16 PM #22 I intend on getting mine fully insulated and wired up, and having a heating system in there, so I can stay in there until stupid o'clock gaming without hassle

29th June 2010, 12:24 PM #23 Heating system? Get a small wood burning pot stove.

They bend before you get the hammer? Go on tour with Uri Geller and raise the funds then

Mine would have left me there and locked up.

29th June 2010, 01:53 PM #28 Wood burning in a log cabin? Are you mad man?! It works very well in fact. I have an open coal fire in my house and the house is a positive fire death trap compared to a wooded shed.
A pot stove is designed to be used in such a way as not to burn down the surroundings.

29th June 2010, 06:01 PM #29 I was asked in a 'you know I'm not very happy about this' sort of way, so it wasn't all plain sailing. I didn't see the problem then, and I still don't now. I guess its a bloke thing?
