Hi everyone! It's been a while, so I have lots to share! Today I'm going to talk about the decking between the containers for the top and ground floors, and a little bit about the holes we cut in the containers. This first picture is one of my favorites, it's a little out of chronological order, but I wanted it to be the first.
One of the first things we did after setting the containers was build the decks between them for easier access to the two floors.
We also started cutting doorways and windows. The first doorway we cut was between the foyer and the living room, you can see it in the picture above!! That was very exciting!
John had stored some materials in the top containers on both sides so to access them we had to climb that crazy extension ladder. Whew, I was glad when they had the decks built and doorways cut.
John used a plasma cutter to cut all the holes. We decided to put a big arched window between the dining room and the kitchen for a bar counter. It is 6 feet wide and 4 feet tall. You can see it in the picture above with a temporary 2x16 foot board in place as shelving for the worker's tools.
Below is a shot of the top level. I love the logo! We plan to seal over it and keep it as part of the decor.
Below is a shot after we had cut most of the windows and doors.
It's still very rough but we are making great progress!! More on cutting next time!
Thanks for coming along!
