The deck from the living area

The large window in the living area is now in

The north side with cladding almost completed. Underneath and the roof line still to be done.

This has not been without it's challanges. The containers, being second hand have lots of dents and bows and it has been hard work getting the iron straight. If I did this again I would inspect my containers beforhand and make sure they were relatively straight, and had good level floors.

The flooring goes in.

The ply floor has been laid. I will just sand it and put a clear coating over it to keep the light colour.

Here is the plate that sits on the end of the containier and is welded to the support.

A lot has happened in the last two weeks. The roof sheeting is finished and the decks have been started.
