Have enjoyed watching your build from the start!

Cheers
Thanks Darren!

I'll be running a bead of silicone around the outside of the walls at the base. Because they're decking boards, water will simply drop through before it makes it inside. Same as my last obs - zero water ingress around the base. The false floor (marine ply) will have fly screen underneath to keep the bugs out and carpet over the top for comfort.
