No John it's neither unfortunately. I already have some waterproofing liquid in a tin (I'm guessing it's quite thick in consistency) which was bought by my father as there is a section of the roof by the doorway to the outhouse from the kitchen that leaks some times. Don't know much about it or...

Yes ree this is pretty much an exact description of my outhouse. I wouldn't say there is a major concern when it comes to damp but if it's cold and wet outside it can get quite musky in there. Just thought it would be better to keep the wood (as I'm building a suspended floor) as safe as...

Yeah I will try my best to make sure it's all flush. Just have to be careful with the amount of adhesive i'm using.

The outhouse is in generally good condition but obviously need some TLC. Can get quite damp and cold in there but I wouldn't say it gets wet in there. :)

Thinking about putting plasterboard on the walls (concrete) using plasterboard adhesive but I just wanted to know if I can stick it on the wall once it's been painted with damp proof membrane? Also need some advice with...

Yeah that makes sense I'll definitely give it a coat of the paint-on membrane. Another question is do you have any advice for fixing the timber together? More precisely on the inside of the frame. I know what one should look like just not sure how to fix the wood together. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply that's really helpful! Didn't realise I would have to damp proof the floor as well. Leads me on to other questions but not really for the wood work section. I will bare all of this in mind! :D

Not really done a lot of DIY before but I've been clearing out the shed (outhouse) and am looking to turn it into a bar/reception area. First thing I want to do is build a suspended floor so I can insulate underneath as the existing floor is concrete. Would also be useful for putting...
