Hi everyone,

Most of you probably already know about my new craft cabin. But, I wanted to also do a blog post for you all. It’s nice to look at before and after pictures.

This cabin has been a nightmare from start to finish. If I am honest, I would not build it again! Nothing went right from day 1. Perhaps, if I had not chosen ‘cowboy builders’ to do it, then it may be different.

I had to pay people to build the cabin. They also did all the electrics, plastering, etc. I am quite shocked at how much it ended up costing! If you have ‘handy’ people in your family or a handy ‘hubby’ then great!

If you are considering a ‘craft cabin’ please contact a few companies before you make any decisions. Get lot’s of quotes and ask people for recommendations.

Now that the cabin is finished, I do love it. However, I am not confident it will last me for years. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. If I could do it all again, I would have chosen one company to handle everything from start to finish. No doubt it would of been done a whole lot quicker and be much better quality than it is now.

I hope it lasts me years. If not, I will deal with it when I come to it.

I am going to share lots of pictures with you. These pictures will show how it looked when it was being built and how it looks now.

I love my pink cabin and I just had to call it Candy Floss Cabin!

Some things to bear in mind!

I insulated my craft cabin. At the time, I did not realize this will interfere with your mobile phone signal! Please bear that in mind as I have know phone signal what so ever!

The insulation also interferes with my broadband. I bought a couple of WIFI boosters but neither of them worked. I had to hire a company to install a CAT6 cable. This is basically an Ethernet cable from the router in the house to a new router in the cabin.

I hope you like it as much as I do and I am really looking forward to the new year in ‘Candyfloss Cabin’

Happy new year everyone!
