Default Building a Smoke Shack

To make a long story short... Marriage Separation (Yr. ago), I moved out of the house into our Duplex, Weather is f-ing cold, no where for me to hide from the elements and smoke at the new place. Sooooo I have decided to build me a heated Smoke Shack.

I poured the concrete pad (13' x 20') last week, the Shack will be 12' x 14'.

I put the floor down today!

Unfortunately a large percentage of the Shack will be used for Storage but I plan on keeping a corner open for my big comfy chair, TV, Refrigerator & Dart Board. I will do my best to get some photos up as progress is made on the project.

I was actually talking with Chippewastud79 today about doing one of these at my house when I buy it this summer, ironically, almost this exact size. If you don't mind, could you include your list of supplies and their cost as you proceed so I can have an idea on what this is going to run. Did you have a budget for this?

I'm looking at doing the same size, ,then put up the boards, then insulation, then either sheet rock or wood panneling with a ventilation fan in the ceiling. Once it's all put together, I was going to put in a imitation wood drop in floor and have the electric company run the lines for 2-4 outlets and the cable company run wires for the TV. Finally put in a leather couch, custom cigar band table, leather chair and the TV. Are you putting any windows in this? I'm hoping a basic bathroom fan will work and will use an ionizer for about $300 to clear the room during the overnight.

Looking forward to how this comes along!

thats awesome, and just last year I told myself that next year, I would have one.....and of course I'm still braving it outside till it gets to be too cold, then I only get to light up in bars that allow it. Nice work so far, def. keep us updated.

I am in the construction business, and I am mainly using excess materials. So getting a cost summary together for you might be difficult. I am not going to insulate it (Seeing that I will only be heating it while I am relaxing) I am putting 2 (3'x2') Windows, a roof vent, Running Elec. and Cable TV. I wish I could do what you are planning and have it completely designated for smoking. This was a spur of the moment thing

Gotcha. Well, I will still keep up with this thread and watch your progression and will likely contact you when the time comes to start building mine.

It's called SmartSide Siding (Lots of different options I got them in 4x8 sheets)... It holds up well to the elements. I will still need to put Exterior Primer and Final Paint over it.

I got the roof up and the tar paper down, but it was too dark to take photos. I hate these short days!

Did you pre-make the trusses for the roof or did you purchase them? In my discussions with BengalMan, that may be something I know the least about.

I made the trusses, just figured out the angle and cut out "Triangles" of plywood to sandwich the (2) 2x4's at the peak with the triangles (Basically just holds the Truss together until it is in place). It is super easy and the strength is in the 2x4s not the Plywood. I think you can see them on the ground in one of the photos. I can take a photo tomorrow if you need me too.

Gotcha, could you insulate the interior and then put up sheet rock/dry wall with the SmartSide siding? So far this seems very do-able. I think at this point the most complicated thing for is going to be the ventilation system through the roof and insulating the roof.

You bet you could, just buy the rolls of Insulation and tack them between the 2x4s then put up the dry wall (Make sure you run Elec. etc first). I didn't put an roof overhang on the front or back (Lazy) so I had to put some "z" Flashing where the SmartSide Wall meets the Gable to prevent water getting in (I will take a photo tomorrow) I decided not to vent through the roof/shingles but will be putting in a vent of some sort into the gable (Haven't thought that far ahead yet LOL)
