These are the doors taken apart to use as supports.  

this shows how we reinforce the doors. The piece on the pallet above will become the support around the door.

test fitted the window, like a glove !

this was our project today. we made the support for the wallboard along the curved wall of the kitchen.
Met with the electrician. She's good to go as soon as we have the walls all up and we're enclosed. Hoping for mid Oct.

Sept 7th
Slow going, lots more cutting and welding lately.

There were so many boxes that I thought we needed some curves so we cut this half circle opening in the kitchen and the same in the library side walls. Reinforced the openings with 2" steel square tube.

The end was cut out of the kitchen and reinforced with 2" square tube as well. The gap between the upper and lower containers will have a flat piece of 3/8" steel that will close the gap and add additional strength. 

As we cut off the doors, we are cutting them up and reusing the support pieces to reinforce some of the cuts. The rest will go to be recycled.

The end wall of the kitchen was framed with 2X6 's for the window which we had to lift with 2 comealongs into place. Boy are they heavy ! 

We cut regular sized doors in the end of sons room, bathroom and hope to have the rest of them cut this weekend. We scored a second oak spiral staircase on Craigslist that will go up to our bedroom and we found another similar one back in August that will go up to our daughters room. 

Roof trusses ordered and will be delivered Oct 10th. It will be a hip room. Carpenter is getting estimates on the deck, front and back and side sections so hope to have him started soon. Should be buttoned up by end of Oct.
