I'm currently building this garden room in my backyard. I have experience renovating interior rooms but this is my first exterior project. It'll be a recording studio slash he-shed. I'll be posting progress updates here but I'm micro journaling in our Discord too. discord.com/channels/119...

Basic specs: - 10x17 w/ 150sqft interior - 2x6 wall construction - Low-slope EPDM roof - Rockwool insulation - Four 36x60" windows - Zip sheets for walls and roof - Advantech subfloor - Electrical, no plumbing - Mini-split heat/AC It's overbuilt, it's essentially a high-perfornance tiny house.

I use @chiefarchitect.bsky.social to model and design it, and I use @notion.com + Claude to manage the project and document the build.

My goal is to try and get the roof deck on by November, before it snows! Well, let's say, before capital W Winter. It might be a mild season this year. But I can't put the EPDM on until it's 40 degrees or warmer. The roof will be Zip sheets taped and flashed, so it'll survive until Spring.
