I lent a hand to my brother in law building something similar and I remember he notched the studs at the back and both gables and nailed in a diagonal it gave it great strength

Don’t worry mate, geezers an idiot…..I certainly won’t be breaking sweat about construction advice from the gonk the other cleaners leave in the van ! lol 

Got to say I'm shocked...I would have thought advice from a British rail employee about construction and building would be invaluable.....

There’s a place in Williamstown where I got the last lot when I built my shed that was pretty reasonable round the price too mate

I did that with my shed mate, it’s a bit bigger at 12 meters x 3 meters but the tiny home will be sheathed with 18mm ply first which will take all the twist and movement out, then when you add the cladding it sort of doubles up the effect and the tiny home is half the size. 

I did the noggins yesterday and that did wonders on its own.

Right job looking forward to seeing how it comes on. A young lad used to help around the place here bought an old trailer body off me a few months ago to build something similar I’m not sure how he’s got on so far but a good idea using the head

I also took a measurement off the floor to centre of higher and lower noggin so I could go along with a tape and mark fixing points if boarding it ...looking good

Good shout mate, boards work out at 1220mm and the drop is 2440mm so in theory there is a full noggin fixing every 400mm both upper and lower boards……if that makes sense ? lol

I can see through these new binos that he could have bought a dog kennel off market place and saved himself a year of building one! Lol
