    Looks great. But that's a lot of work in those timber-clad corners if they're not doing anything?

    decorative corners , yes.

    sometimes the customer wants a way and they are gonna get it.

    testement to their vision, bit exxy, but hopefully they learnt a bit about "out of the ordinary design" in the process.

    one doesn't learn anything much by not finishing anything : )

    agreed, cladding a post which goes right to the ground would have saved lots of design issues.......anyhow we'll see how the final product turns out : )

    thanks for looking

    curious, is there a floor plan you can post?

    SWMBO says the structure needs a veranda

    the engineer in me says, "I'm waiting to see what sort of lift you install to the door"

    yes Ian, there will be deck on each end out from the doors, with a ramp and stairs ( customer taking a bet each way it seems).

    floor or plan is pretty open-

    long kitxhen bench along the side where the big windows are ( west)

    double bed with bunk in one corner ( south east)

    "bathroom " partitioned off with a low divider in the other corner (north east).

    a wood burning stove in one of the remaining corners ( north west), the other free.

    fairly open plan otherwise.

    ive decided to build a small structure on my block now : )

    If it were my granny's flat, I would lose the bunk bed.
    I've lived with a similar double bed / bunk bed unit and the double bed was a real bugger to make.

    im thinking about totally welding this small building 9 m x2.1m with bolted on lean too carport ( not shown) in order to make it movable .

    sort of prefab/demountable/ transportable to other locations or for resale if I get short on $.......which is going to happen haha

    im thinking a big forklift and onto a truck if need be-----can't quite see how I can crane it just yet?

    anyhow. if you would like to see the welding go ahead I will show?

    Yes please, I like seeing what other people construct, whether it be large small or in between, any kind of fabrications. Just seeing how they go about their projects.
