Nissen Hut
Look what we just bought off of Ebay. A large kitchen Nissen Hut from WWII 24x55 foot with more than enough height!! Both a pottery and a workshop.
This was the type that we bid on but on arrival we found this!!!!
As you can see the kitchen is taller and wider than the standard but not as large as the Romney (Hanger) type hut.
his is going to be a fantastic and light and interesting and large space for a decent budget.....still working out the details.
The fridge room.
The old kitchen, next doors hut was the mess hall.
This one was already sold when we got there, and the owner was already dismantling. First skin off is nailed to the inner battens, which are all solid, inner skin is laid on to ribs and then tethered down with wire!! Fantastically simple even the ribs bolt together in sections. There is a gap of about 2 inches between skins so it will be easy to make air tight and insulated!!
