Very cool. Well I'm making some progress on the framing for the sides. Plywood walls definitely make more sense as far as ease of build but it's coming right along. It's funny, I bought that template that I'm laying the walls out on back in 2006.

Gluing the birch ply for the inside of the walls. All the crap piled on top is just to hold it down flat.

Twenty days until my wedding when this needs to be done! We'll see if I can pull it off. I got the underside of the floor painted with asphalt paint and have it secured to the frame. Also cut the birch ply to the rough profile. Next step is to trim the plywood with a flush cut router bit to match the walls and get them attached to the floor. Looking forward to getting the walls up and getting some more dimension to this thing.
