Default More pictures, of cantainer progress

Hi guys, just thought I would let you see some more progress. on my new shop. in the cantainer.
I mentioned the window before. this is one picture. it is bars on hindges. it fleps down. for exscape, if need be. if I get locked in this babby there is no other way to get out. it has a pin that goes in the upper part. goes through the wall. and locks from the inside. no one can get to the lock but me, and it just pushes out. and I can clime out. cool huh. got lots of work to do in sealing and painting. just primering right now. and the 2nd and 3rd pictures are of my new door. on the inside wall. I wonted to keep the cantainer doors open. and I didn't wont to put a door that swung open to get in. but had to do something for flys. and hot and cold air getting in, so this is what I came up with. it is a Vinyl strip door. like they have in freezers, and shipping docks. you can drive through them and easy to walk through them. and I can see throught them like a window. hopefully no flys eather. they over lap and, the vinyl sticks to itself, the 1st is looking in from the ATV room. and the 2nd is from inside my new shop. like a big window. they are too cool. thanks for looking. your friend Evie.

G'day Evie,
You certainly are doing a great job. You needed another 10' or so on the container to make a bedroom and you'd have all you'd ever need.

Wonderwoman, hahahaha. thanks Ajay,

and Chase this is a 7'9 wide x 40' ocean cantainer. and I have it devided in 3.--- 8' for a Garden tool room. with a door on the inside of the yard to get to the tools easyer. rottertiller, shredder, Etc. and the middale 22" x 7'9" for my shop, and 10'x7'9" for my ATV. and that stuff.
And yes that hoover is a dream. the only thing is. it is a small hose. so I can't pickup nails and big chips of wood. but don't do that anyway. it reaches 30'. all the way to the other end of the shop, and can go outside to sweap out my trucks. etc. it seams to work pretty well. the only thing is. you have to be cairfull with sanding dust. it does get on the philter. no problem. I just take a bag, and put it around the bottom put my hand in the bottom of the bag, and scrape off the dust off the philter. it never gets hot like they say. I just love it. i sweap up anyway.just not , big wood chips and nails and stuff. and it just sucks the rest , like crazy. it has lots of gadjets, so I sweap the walls, and plug in ficktures, tools, and etc.
John, it is alittle to hot for a bed right now. but a bathroom would be nice. us gales are just not blessed with the tools you guys use to go peepee.
WD, hopefully no flys, we will see.
thanks for lookign guys. it is fun. your friend Evie
