pardon me but... this seems like a very simple project. I have built houses and just added on to mine and am in a remodel phase right now.
It seems to me that if you can't figure out this much that you probly don't have a clue on how to even use basic tools and will make a mess of it.
Maybe not... if not... get some plans.. I imagine there are many out there... like building a deck.. there are probly books of plans. scale to your needs and figure on spending twice what you thought you would..
If you are not a woodworker and haven't got a lot of tools and material ratholed away.... plan on spending 4 times what you thought you would.
I always figure that any new project is an excuse to buy at least one new tool..
