Thank you, though there are some really nice ones out there, I appreciate it.

I don't think of it as an enclosure, more of a house lol

More people should put forth half as much effort....

Thanks wayne, its just a matter of creativity, and some handyness :P You know what its like lol.

ps I hope you document your Next enclosure thoroughly, mainly the concrete slap portion. Seeing as when I'm a home owner. Every enclosure will be rebuilt with some permanent, visual improvements

I can't wait lol

Great Work mate =] I've been replying to you on my thread but thought I'd comment on your thread for once

can't believe how far you've come to get it to this stage! it's an absolute monster of a house aha =] the detail you've gone into on the pictures and description is very good and will be visiting this thread a lot when I go to create my one around January. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the finished product!

That is one hell of a build cant wait to see it done nice work.

Nice looking enclosure! I'm going to model one after your build if you wouldn't mind. A few questions for you:

How thick is the paneling on the outside?
What kind of screws are you using to hold the outer paneling to the walls? (I can't see them

)

Are you planning on using sheets of glass for the windowed area? If so, could you show how you frame it/build the tracks?

I've been keeping a close eye on this build because it's time for my ornate monitor to get an upgrade!

Love the paneling on the outside, it looks great. I have to say, I am impressed with your patience. I dont know how you can be so close to being done but not get it finished!

Having said that, its going to be a lot of work hauling all that dirt downstairs.

You're telling me dude! not looking forward to it. And I'm really not trying to rush this one, thats when mistakes get made, and I'll have to address something in a few months... I'd rather take my time and get it done right the first time.

wow that thing is a monster! i have to make my new enclosure portable too due to the fact that we rent. Its pretty rough to design when the biggest door opening out of the house is about 30 inches and we have no garage to build it in. wish i had an inside track to that fiberglass sheeting like you do, i am def jealous!

I opened this thread all excited for an update....
