More on the Shipping Container

Cut the butcher block and dropped in the sink.

Drilled holes in the ceiling for loop hitches and child's loft.

Kitchen Things

Got the propane tank outside.

Some flashing needed still, but since it's under the pushed out kitchen window, it has some protection.

Working out the kitchen counter and sink. What materials do I have? How do I want it?

Shipping container again tomorrow.

Shipping Container Construction Update

Some photos of the project, I could and will sometime say more about the wall construction system I came to terms with. The dew point is a major factor. Figuring out where the moisture will be and how to deal with it...

Shipping Container Construction

AKA inter-modal steel building units (ISBUs)

Spent the day doing this for a friend. Will spend the next two weeks in the effort to turn the shipping container into a livable space for her and her daughter. Perhaps I'll post some photos as the project develops.

In the meantime, my house houses me, though not completely finished.

So Nice Nights

[Featured above: Lume making fresh lemonade/lemon water]

Friends for dinner. It's the best feeling to hear someone in my house ask someone else to pass them a fork, and then have that other person easily pass the fork along. Smells of food sure beat sawdust.

A friend is about to begin construction on a shipping crate.

I'll stop posting at some point soon, when it begins to just become my life in this house, rather than the building of this house. I realize there is no real clear line. I can see though, rather soon this blog will return to the FORGE AHEAD PUPPET PRODUCTIONS, as it began. Or perhaps I'll need to reorganize blogs, creating one portal leading to various productions of the forge-ahead nature.
