Crack that whip !
Where's the new pup? Do you let it play with Ben?
hot air outside, cooler air inside, the insulation between the inside space and the steel skin will not be perfect so there will be condensation on the inside of the metal. Where does the vapor barrier go?
don't get in too big a hurry.....it's still august in Texas and it'll be plenty hot working in the container. Keep the water handy.
even though the work is hard and time consuming, it sure beats the hats off working for the man in the big city! Have fun
What is the greenery out the door? Sure tall for Terlingua.
Although more expensive 2x6 and the extra insualtion is the way to go. I am sure you have researched this but make sure you get a gap between the metal walls and the radient barrier or it just transfers no blocks the heat.
Good Job.
Ben a stud?
Maybe in a year or two...
Where are the windows? Is Ben posing?
@RitaB, what she said, you should lay low and keep cool, lest you fry your frijoles.
Use rigid or spray foam and you can get good results in a 2x4 space without a radiant barrier.
John...I Remember you stating a wood enterior with a curved ceiling like those at Hornby Island Caravans would be great in a container...Are your plans still the same...
It is a shame there isn't a cheaper way to hang insulation batts since you don't really need the structural support of 2x6s.
You can use two 2x4 walls, offset, which allows for as much insulation as a 2x6 wall without any thermal bridging through the wood studs.
Have you thought about painting the interior walls with ceramic based insulating paint?
Good looking start to the framing. This is the part I like. Looking forward to seeing this space come together.
how did you attach the studs to the wall of the conex?
