Sure, what did you pay for everything?

Almost exactly 500 euros. More than half was spent on the outer HPL panels. The base consists of frame elements made from 6x4 wood. It is important to screw these together with brackets and not directly. If you want to fit the whole thing with individual panels instead of large-area panels, you have to plan well so that each panel meets a frame element on all four sides. It is important with this variant that everything is exactly square during assembly and, if necessary, adjusted with clamps - otherwise the panels will not be mounted evenly. For stability in the transverse direction, screwed shelves and possibly bracing are necessary, especially if one end is to become a door. Not to be underestimated is the number of brackets and screws - I used 120 brackets and almost 1000 screws. The HPL panels must be pre-drilled and screwed with flat-head screws that are at least 1 cm smaller than the drilled hole. For the roof, I used 15mm thick shuttering plywood with a rafter spacing of 50cm. The back wall consists of OSB-3 panels that I painted twice over. I primed and painted the frame twice on all weather-exposed sides. Construction time was about 40 hours. The most important tools were the miter saw and stationary drill. Without any experience and these tools, I would rather calculate 80 hours.

Respect, looks classy!

So, today we had the first groundbreaking [emoji173]

This is a special moment. The other, laying of the foundation stone, will follow. I would celebrate that, have some things embedded, coin, small bronze Madonna, Karsten

We need to think about it sometime [emoji4]
