G'day Bill and hi right back. Welcome to the forums. I feel safe in saying that some one will be able to lead you to the plans you are after. Once you start please be sure to post pics of the progress, and telling us of your other builds will be of interest too.

What do you mean by summerhouse?
One of these (http://www.wincantoncameraclub.co.uk/Amanda%20White%20CPAGB%202008/pages/The%20Great%20British%20summer%20house,%20by%20Amanda%20White.html)

Hi billozz, I am fairly new to these boards as well and I am very glad to have found them as I am sure you will be! :U
There is a program available called 'Punch'. You can design anything from a basic shed to a mansion. One of the great things about this progam is that once you have designed your building, you can have it print you a list of required materials and you can even then enter in current unit prices and it will cost it for you as well.
It may not be your cup of tea, but it is food for thought in any case.

Enjoy the forums and your projects be they big or small.

Cheers,
Grim.:)

Welcome Bill.

So, it's a Cubby house for adults!:2tsup:

You could just make it like a small house; wall frames with top and bottom plates, studs and noggins... etc.
