Another shed conversion help thread!

Hi guys,

I have a shed that I would like to convert into an extra room for the wife and kids. I have been reading through many threads and have a plan of attack but would appreciate any help you would care to give.

The shed is a 3x4 colourbond A-frame that looks as if the concrete floor was poured after it was constructed. However there is a concrete path around 2 sides of the shed that are flush to it as well.

My main concern is the floor as it is slightly sloped towards a drain on one side of the floor.

I would also like to remove the existing single side door and where the current window is, make this a double door instead.

After lots of reading I think I am OK with;

- cleaning it out
- sealing all sources of possible leaks with expanding foam
- installing insulation and plyboard for walls

So what about the floor? I'm guessing I should raise it and then I would probably timber laminate on top. What is the best way to do this? What about a water barrier? At what stage should I convert the window to a door and what is the best way to do that?

Thanks for your help :D

I have tried to include some pictures as well!
