I need updates on my new home

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Made some good progress this weekend. Got some more framing done, some more skins on and wore myself out!! Feels good to have some progress.

 

[custyota]

@GLTHFJ60 are you using treated lumber or marine grade plywood?

 

[GLTHFJ60]

No sir. Outside will be sealed with epoxy resin and fiberglass, inside will be sealed with either penetrating epoxy or urethane.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

More progress. Feels good to get more skins up. Windows will get routed out later.

Awesome progress, any estimate on weight of this one vs weight of the original “template” model? I guess it probably doesn’t matter much with what your putting it on, it looks heavy all of a sudden.

 

[AJR]

Maybe it just looks heavy because in the picture it looks bigger than your garage.

The new one is larger, so it will undoubtedly be heavier. How much heavier, not sure, but the ferd won't care

Where does the AC go?

Where does the AC go?

Roof.

 

[RedHeadedStepChild]

That’s exactly where the dog asked me to put ours.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Ceiling and roof structure 99% done after today. Back to side skins, then lights and wiring starts!

Two pics, from opposing corners. A somewhat confusing perspective.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Few more pieces put on today, amidst other activities.

Looking good JC!

Revision!

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I hate that it's a month between times I can work on this thing, but c'est la vie. Other priorities.

I've gone back and forth a few times about generators. Should I dedicate space to a small generator? This will be big enough to power the rooftop AC unit, and everything else I need (when I can't plug in) but is the cost worth it? I'm leaning towards yes now that I found this specific model, but I'm looking for input on this topic.
