Well who would have guessed that building a container house in the middle of Texas in the middle of July in the middle of a heatwave would be such a pisser?
My best friend from the 8th grade forward, Bill- asked his friend Chris and Chris' brother Richard to come out to the ranch to help me get the SIPs and the roof on. I think they were lured by the recreational activities and neglected to consider the heat factor. They were great sports and I tried to feed them well and make the day easier by working from 6:30 to 11:30 and taking a break until 7. We also waterskied and wakeboarded and rode the Seadoos so I hope they had a decent time. I know I did since we made major progress and no one died.
We started with only the SIPs on the roof and the door holes cut and ended with a completed roof, all the SIPs installed and the Galvalume up. Whew.....
I have lots of new information for aspiring container converters but my ass is bushed and sweaty and my bush is sweaty and assed at the moment. After I take some muscle relaxers and some anti-inflammatories I might write it all down.
In the meantime, I posted some of the pictures on the photo site. If you don't know where that is, do not ask. Look around for the post that gives the answer to why the photos are not here.
Note to Typepad- PLEASE GET BATCH PHOTO POSTING FOR MAC UP AND RUNNING PRETTY DAMN SOON OR I WILL REQUIRE A REFUND OF MY LARGE DONATION TO YOUR ENTERPRISE.
