I don't have any, really, but I would recommend getting the brackets from sportsman's guide for the 4x4s. After that, it's pretty easy. 2x8 floor joists, 5/8" plywood for floor, 2x2 studded walls with 1/2" OSB for siding, a door on one side in the back, windows at about 30" high from floor about 12" tall hinged with piano hinges so you can open them with a cable. Plexiglass works good for windows, and some old (but not moldy) carpet for the floor and walls to deaden sound and insulate. Tin or corrugated fiberglass panels for roof.

ill see if i can get the ones that my buddy has on his lease, its about 4 x 8 but its metal, im sure you could build one out of wood. ill see if he has dimensions and such. has sliding plexiglass windows all the way around, door in the floor, two seats room for more, carpet. its nice to sit in, especially in crappy weather.
