Pictures of Finished Log Cabin thanks to all for advice
It is finally finished (Well just the carpet to go down) and thanks to all for their advice, THe measurements of it are 5x3 it is insulated and plasterboarded all around walls floor and ceiling, full electrics with spot lights, sealed to the house and flashed on the roof. Think it came out well for a total cost of just uner £3000

I have moved this to the Showcase Forum as it is something to be really proud of, and more people will look at it here.

Bit cheeky on the neighbour lol.
How did you get around planning, with it being right on the boundary and having a verandah also??

Your cats got glowing eyes! Is it posessed? Great job on the cabin, really looks the business.
Never enough hours in the day!

Re: Pictures of Finished Log Cabin thanks to all for advice
that is quite nice I must say
its looks a really crafty way of getting some extraroom without going to the hassle of a extension, well done.

Re: Pictures of Finished Log Cabin thanks to all for advice
If it is within 2M of the boundary it has a max height of 2.5M. Although I should think that the way it is done the council would view it as an extension rather than a log cabin.
Good job you have those neighbours, as you say lol. A lot less risky than the other options you were looking at, so happy days.

Re: Pictures of Finished Log Cabin thanks to all for advice
Very impressive...especially considering the cost, I'd have guessed at treble that price.
