Here is the latest picture of the inside as I have cut out the inner walls and welded the support beams in the back. The 4x4s are temporary until I can get a welder out there to cut and weld the 8" I-Beam to the ceiling along with the two vertical support beams on either end of it to support the beam. My welder is not powerful enough and although my plasma cutter is, the generator only produces 36 amps and I need 50 amps to cut the beam. This is also a critical structural beam that I think a pro needs to help me put in place.
We have decided once the support beam is in place, we will begin building out the bedroom and bathroom. We will also put in place the gabion baskets on the outside to bury the bedroom/bathroom portions. Of course before we put the baskets in place and bury it, we will apply truck bed liner to the external walls of the containers, along with a urethane foam coating for rust prevention. There will also be a drainage pipe at the bottom, layered with sewage rock and then dirt. Once this is complete, we are going to pause for a little while to see how efficient the cooling of the inside it with it being buried on two sides before we progress with the living room.
