plockhart Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I am embarking on the unique and ambitious project of building.....yet another timber framed garden room based off knowledge from the internet. Yes I know, done to death! Over the weeks of researching I found this sub full of really helpful knowledge and thought maybe there would be a benefit to me being part of this community. I've done lots of DIY from joinery to electrics but nothing as big as this or that has put all those skills together. Should be exciting... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Welcome. Don't tell us where exactly, but 'Scotland' is over-doing the anonymity. 450 miles long with very varying conditions, and how best to build. Wet West? Dry East? Blowy North? Or perfect Perth. In a town or isolated? Anyway, get reading first. Most of it is on here already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he going to insulate it with a magic substance, that means paper thin walls, total silence, and no heating required. And costs pennies to build. That would be unique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple if minutes from where we'll be building. However, shouldn't hijack this topic 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that we know where the OP is building: Since the area became of special interest I note how often the westerly rain storms fizzle out before Morayshire. Nairn has annual rainfall around 700mm. Aberlour 800mm, much of it turned into whisky. shouldn't hijack this topic though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AartWessels Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Truth be told, more water enters Morayshire through the Spey than by rain. Although this year seems to have significantly more rain than others. So back on topic,blowy north, you.mean above Inverness then? Just sold some land near John o Groats which we originally would be building on. Before our plans changed and we moved to the heart of whisky country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
