Building a wooden outhouse
Discussion
So after this COVID period and having my family at home constantly, I need an external office to keep the kids and wife away.
I’m wanting to build a 15ft by 10ft wooden outhouse. Plan is concrete base, wooden frame, insulation, cladding outside, plasterboard interior with power.
I was thinking 2x3 to build the frame, 2x6 for the roof straps, fibre wool insulation.
Has anyone completed anything similar? If so, any hints/tips and am I on the right lines with materials?
Also, rough costs for completion? All works completed by myself so no labour costs.
Cheers in advance.

There was a superb thread on here a year or so back of a tremendous build in quite a modest garden.
Possibly one of these, which I thought were terrific, well-documented and a mine of useful info:PartOfTheProblem
