>>1526234That's a good point. Have you read "a place of my own"? The shack in the woods is a very appealing concept, but it can take the form of a home office down to a hiding place for your vices.
Maybe if OP said, "I'd like to make a clubhouse for me and the buds" or "a small social hall" it would sound more respectable and less like a kid trying to smoke pot behind his parents back.
