Nice start man!

[jake23]

Looks good. What are you planning to coat the frame with.

[low277]

Looks good, nice shop and I see a couple of old "Cats" there, they look pretty good to.

[tip-up king]

POR15 paint for the frame.

[tip-up king]

A little more progress made.

Tip up, when you copy the image links from photobucket just paste them in your post. You do not need to click the add image icon. As long as it has the "" tags in the link they will show up.

I'll try it on the next photo. Sorry about that.

[Jeremy airjer W]

No worries, just a tip.

I look forward to seeing the new pics. Someday I'll get round to building one!

[MinnGuy]

POR15 well worth the cost. Nice start to the house.

[tip-up king]

Got the door framed in.

[low277]

Nice door! where did you it?

[Lip_Ripper Guy]

What size steel tubing are you using for wall studs?

[tip-up king]

Door, windows, convertor, heater, stove/oven and roof vent from an RV parts and salvage store in Fairmont.

[tip-up king]

16 gauge 1X2 wall studs.

[tip-up king]

Window number 1 framed in. Double pane RV window.

[tip-up king]

Got the second window framed and gussets installed to anchor floor sheeting to. Next step will be painting the frame with POR15.

Got the frame treated with POR15 last night. Put it on with a 3" roller instead of spraying it like I initially planned on.

I was told that the treatment used in the plywood is not corrosive to standard fastners as opposed to the treatment used in dimensional lumber. Anyone know if this is accurate? Thanks for any input.

[Eric_Kruger]

lookin good man!

[witgey&water]

Ask your lumber suppler if it is CCA (chromated copper arsenate) treated or ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary) treated. ACQ is very corrosive compare to CCA. ACQ's corrosiveness can be reduced by put a thin barrier between metal and the plywood. Looks great!!!

[tip-up king]

Decided to put POR15 all the way to the ceiling.

Got the twin tank holder braces and bracket installed.

Ready to start putting the flooring down. I brought the green treat back and went with this instead.

Looking good tip-up, one of these years I'll get around to building one of my own

[boxcar46]

looking great, can I ask what the part number was for the por15. is it the primmer or did you use just the top coat paint. thanks

[theicehooker]

I would put treated plywoodd on the floor!!!!
