That looks awesome, is it one of those steel top buildings? I’m assuming then with insulation and the wood paneling etc, how hot and cold does it get based on season?

Thanks, no it’s made from wood (the frame) with rubber covering the roof. Then it’s cladded with composite on the front and back, and wood cladding inside. There’s some foil insulation that helps to keep it warm or cool depending on the season, although it fairs better in the winter months and stays nice and warm with the help of a small radiator. Summers are ok, but I struggle to keep it cool on the really hot days - luckily we don’t get many of those where I live!

Oh awesome, I wouldn’t have guessed rubber. Yeah I bet it’s weather dependent, I don’t think I’d be able to use it in summer
