Manhut update…

Just a quick update to this post.
The owner of the new Manhut has sent along a couple of photos of his now completed shed. This version of the manhut has a radiant heat floor. By all accounts, it remains warm and cozy despite the frigid temperatures we’ve been experiencing lately.

Its interesting to read the various comments he’s generating on Facebook. It seems that people cannot wrap their head around the concept of  an “office” in a shed. With some diligent detailing, this manhut is every bit as efficient as any addition to the main house would have been. The bonus in this case is that the owner can take it with him, should he ever need to relocate. The exterior finish is the hard wearing Hardie Panel in the standard dark grey. The seams are finished with a standard galvanized sheet metal. The panels are capped with a mill finish corrugated sheet metal. What I love about this version of the Manhut (as opposed to mine) is the way the landing is articulated as a cantilever.
