One more small step! I insulated the bottom with the dense board foam, then I sprayed the spray foam around the edges. The spray looks crappy, but I can trim tomorrow...maybe tomorrow I can start on the sides!

I worked on the sides and squaring it up today!! I need to get some more 1x2's to finish the framing... everything seems to be going together better then I thought!! I also ordered the Trailer frame today.. I found one at Home Depot online only that has 13" Wheels.. and will hold 2000 pounds.

Trailer put together... Bummer though, the side rails are 11 inches high... the one at the store was 8 inches high, so I assumed that the online one was the same... so now I need to attach the box a different way... probably still use the corner angles... and now... I really wish I would of not built the basement.....oh well learn as you go...

Well it has been a while, I finally got back on it this weekend, The Doors came in, The Hinge, and the Fantastic Fan, so I cut out the door holes, and now I can finish the interior, so here are a few pics of the progress!

THE BEAD BOARD LOOKS GREAT. I used Cedar Bead board on the ceiling in my bathroom. I wish I could afford to do a whole room.

Thanks! I accidently bought a package of Cedar I think i would use the cedar instead, the boards are a little better quality!!
well, I got a lot done this week, finished all the interior walls, ( i got a little sloppy at the end, cutting the boards, glad i will be using trim boards!!) Just have the trim left to put up, started the wiring, prepped and primed the 2 side walls, also bought a tongue jack with a wheel on it..

Hope to do some more finish work tomorrow on the side walls, get some trim up, start insulating the roof, build the shelf, and get the fantastic fan set in place!!
thanks for looking!

I finished Painting the sides today (not the final coat or color) but good for now, it took four of us to lift it up and put it on the Trailer... The Online trailer we ordered is 3/4 inch narrower, so I had to remove the fenders from the trailer, so the box would fit. but I think I will probably leave it on the trailer permanent.

After a long week of doing nothing... I got the roof on and the electrical done except for hooking up to the outlets. I had to piece together the roof, then I put some heavy duty tape and epoxy over the seams... hopefully it wont mound too bad... then eventually I will figure out what to put on for the top layer.. either aluminum or fiberglass....
