Body build critique

Postby jss06 » Wed Oct 06, 2010 1:44 pm

Here is what I am planning for mmy body construction.

All voids will be insulated and used for wire runs.

Any suggestions or comments. There is one notational error on the drawing. The floor will only be 1.5" thick. 1" foam sandwiched between 1/4" ply. The drawing shows 2" for the void.

The walls are 1" foam with 1/8" skins.

John,

I did my floor like your design, except that I used 1x framing (3/4" thick) instead of 1" framing and it is plenty stout.

You may want to think about using 1x material for your floor and walls or you'll have to rip lumber to get the 1" dimension.
