I started building a new winter house for a couple young, but growing sulcatas. It's going to be 4x8 feet.The first pic is what I picked up to get started. The cost of 4 pieces of 1/2 and 1 piece of 3/4 inch treated plywood was scary.(to me anyway).
I have used lumber here that will work for the wall framing, just have to cut it to the size I need. This is the beginning of the floor base
This is a pic of my helper claiming it as his,( see the small wet spot near the bottom ) He wouldn't like it, it's going to be half the size of what he's got now.
This is the base turned right side up after securing the plywood to the frame.I caulked all the interior joints and seams and secured 3 landscape timbers to the underside.
Next started the insulation,this is one layer of ASJ jacket 1 1/2 inch thick heavy density fiberglass board.
Then another layer of same with the jacket up
Finishing the insulation with foil jacket duct wrap that will squeeze down.and serve as a secondary vapor barrier.
The main vapor barrier under the 3/4 inch plywood floor is 4 foot wide light weight aluminum that has a sticky back if you remove the paper, I left the paper on
The last thing done today was screwing the plywood floor down.
