The price for materials is right, and it blends in well with the surroundings.

It's a lot smaller than the one I plan on building, but, I did get some good ideas from it.

Preferably use treated framing timber for the framing (duh! A statement of the day!)...I used to go to old house demolition sites because they just dump it back home and get if for free (remove the nails and voila')...dont try to cheat and forget the building paper, itll help keep the initial smell of the oil treatment to an acceptable level, and waterproof!...

that way your frame is dry and treated against Aussie's finest imports (English borer) and locals (termites)...if you treat the pallet timber as I suggested in the preppers diary then itll make adequate cladding that, although it won't last forever, will allow you to replace what does rot etc...

Also if you have the energy they make good slats for roofing...a sliding bench saw is ideal there...right that's enough work for your next 6 months, lol...

All noted.

For the roof, am using recycled roofing iron - was given about 10m guttering, so that will help keep the costs down.
