cantainer progress

[minowevie]

just thought you might like to see the progress on my new shop . in the cantainer. my hubby has helped me alot for I am not a good welder. well. not a welder at all. . but this is my ideas. I thought i would weld bolts on the walls. to hold the studs . don't wont to loose any width on my room so this seemed to be a idea. we welded the bolt on the wall. then that gave me something to nail too. then the walls. put a room on the far end. that holds the big gardon tools. shreader, and rottertiller. etc. with a outside door. pictures later on that. and my shop in the middle. these pictures are of that. the bolts and the studs. attatched. your friend Evie

just wonted to add, there is 2 turbines on the top. and a wall at one end. with a door. to enter the room. my Atv is at the other. so all i have to do, it take it out to have a 10' x7'9" room to play with some wood. 3 rooms in all. my shope will be 22'x7'9". little but douablae. more room than i had in are old shop. hubby is happy , I am moving out. but we both need some new tools now. ark ark. Im happy,more latter. your friend Evie

G'day Evie,
That's coming along nicely. A good idea putting timber in the flutes so as minimise space and give fixing area.
Wont be long and you'll have it covered in saw dust.

Hi Evie, it looks like you are making good headway on that container style shop. Hope you get it finished soon. Steve

Evie,
Looks like a great start. I know how hot those boxes get down here, and living up the hill will only be hotter! You ought to consider some insulation and a VERY good AC in there!

[minowevie]

Kevin, you are so right. I have heard of some insulating paint. do you know of this. I think Caorl said somthing along that line. luckaly. I will be cutting early in the morning. and late at night. and in the winter. it is warm for sure. thanks for your relpy. your friend Evie
Ps, you are just down the hill from me. only about 1/2 hour. ya. scrolling friends getting closer.
