We started with the intention of doing a completely new structure. The plan was for a round room of about 12 feet with a concrete/rebar footer and a poured concrete/rebar slab roof. While we still love the idea we realized that we weren't going to have the resources to pull it off before the rains started (time and money being the constraints) so we changed tack and decided to go with the original plan which was to build off an existing structure, a brick outhouse. We had a pretty good design worked out for the round room and were excited about doing it but it was just too ambitious for the first room in a number of ways. In hindsight it was much better to simply extend off the front of the outhouse as it put us back in a realistic time/money budget and also allowed us to test basic construction techniques without too much risk exposure.
