This is a thread I've started on another forum which I will carry on here.
My plan is to build this into a comfortable home over winter in which I can travel in :)

I'm pushed for time but I do hope to get down to it today and get the roof vent openings cut, glued and screwed in place today! I've also got a woodburner made which needs picking up :D

Both the roof vents are in, sealed with plenty of sealant all round as well as on the screws. Pretty easy to fit once we'd figured it out!

I'm away in Scotland for a week but when I'm back I'm hoping to get the roof battens finished which is a pain because I have nothing to clamp to so I'm having to prop them up with bits of wood while they glue. Once they're in I can then insulate with 50mm Celotex, fill any gaps with some sort of insulation and then foil insulation sheet over the lot before cladding with tongue and groove!
