Hello!
I have seen that there are several threads on the forum with questions similar to ours, but every project is unique in its own way, I think.
We have bought a new house with an attached uninsulated outbuilding. In this outbuilding, we plan to build a guest room that will be used a few weekends a year. The part where we plan to have the guest room is currently a workshop with what seems like a stable wooden floor.
We plan to have a wall where the wooden floor ends. There are two window holes currently sealed that we want to open up and put windows back into.
We want to ask those of you with experience in the subject, what you think we should consider before we start building.
We are comfortable with not adhering to every building code and regulation as we won't be living here, and the room doesn't need to have an energy class A+. But that said, we do want the room to be protected from moisture and mold. There will be no water and drainage, only electricity.
We want to do as much as possible ourselves to keep costs down.
Can someone give us tips on good sites, links, and guides with descriptions from similar projects? How to create moisture barriers in walls, floors, and roofs? How to insulate, install wind barrier sheeting, and in what order?
