Container Home: Ceiling Reinforcements and Subflooring - 04 June 2016

This weekend, my wife and I came over and actually got everything we could get done on Saturday. There were heavy thunderstorms to which I could not use the plasma cutter or welder. The first thing we did was to install the 2x6 pieces down the length of the container ceiling and the remaining part at the floor. These provide a place to attach the vertical 2x4s. Next, we installed the last two 4x4s at the ceiling. We did realize that we need one additional 4x4 to be installed near the front of the container so the 2x6 has one additional 4x4 to nail to. The next thing we did was to begin installing the remaining subfloor 2x4s to finish building out the subflooring. Once we got those completed, which took quite a while, we started installing the subflooring. We ended up only having about 60% of the subflooring for that side. I am going by Lowes today to pickup the remaining subflooring and other materials for next weekend. Luckily, the weather looks like it is going to be clear next weekend, so we will definitely get the window and sliding door installed, install the remaining Styrofoam sheathing on the roof, and install the remaining subflooring. If we have time, we will being installing the subfloor 2x4s on the right side also.

By the time we finished Saturday night, it was near dark and we came on home. We didn't get any pictures because we were exhausted. We'll definitely have pictures next weekend.
