A fairly easy and inexpensive way to add an extra room or a private office is by using garden buildings. These small buildings can be built by your own hand with little knowledge of how to use a hammer and placed in your backyard. The instructions come in the box packed with all the equipment that you will need to build it from the ground up.
Parts for your building are delivered in a flat box packed down to your front door. The extras such as insulation and other features are not included in the package. This must be bought and done on your own. Check to ensure you have all the building parts before you start. It's a hassle to stop in the middle of any project to find a missing piece of equipment. It's also good to prepare for the possibility of bad weather this could extend your project time.

Find the perfect spot to build a building. Check to ensure the ground is sturdy enough and leveled for your house. It may suit you to put some form of a base down; concrete is the best to make sure it is sturdy enough. The concrete base should be damp-proof to make sure there would be no possibilities of mold.
Painting would be the next step to take before beginning your project. It's good to paint everything before you start your leaving less work in the end. Separate each piece from each other to allow for it to fully dry undisturbed. This part may seem like the worst part because of all the parts that you would need to paint. Make sure to leave ample time for drying.
Following the painting it would be best to waterproof the shingles on the roof. Preventing mold is the main aspect of this part. Apply a substance that can take care of that for you as this is very important. Leaks may appear also if the roof is not while taken care of. Ensure that each shingle is covered and completely dry.
If you're not using natural light then you would need installation of electricity. You would most likely need to plan for an electrician to install proper electricity. Another aspect of the building is providing an internet connection. It may be possible to stretch the signal from your existing connection in your home to it either done by wireless or Ethernet. Although wireless should suffice.
Finally you would need to insulate the walls of the building. Using foil backed high density foam will keep it warm or cooler longer then a cheaper version. If not major problems may arise with your walls and heating system. It can also keep your electric bills down.
In the end you can have a project finished within a week, weather permitted, and costs less than a junk car. Forget about adding on space, having to knock down walls in your house. If you have space in your backyard it is much easier to build garden buildings then to add on to your existing house
