No I ordered from miltona, mn

[Cfilbert]

I extended the frame by attaching green treated 2x3 to the frame.  Now width is 8'4".

[Cfilbert]

Cut styrofoam between the green treated.

[Cfilbert]

Sheeted the floor with 3/4 flooring

Walls starting to go up

That floor material is not gonna like moisture.  I have seen campers that use a membrane underneath.  You may want to consider that.

Nice drop frame.  Who manufactures it and do you have the specs on the frame weight?

[Adkslabslayer]

[Shack man Shoney]

Looking good!!! Will you be covering the floor where it hangs over the metal frame???

Miltona blacksmith.  Don't have the starting frame weight.  Decided to start with 6'4" model to save money, and by putting the green treat on the frame the foam gets supported by the frame.  If it starts to fall or sag, I will solid sheet it or remove and spray foam.

i like it, but heavy!

[Cfilbert]

Sorry guys slow going right now.  Started to stain the 1/4 inch plywood panels

[Cfilbert]

And here is the first sheet with two coats of poly

Looks pretty nice! It'd be real nice to have one of those, but the PA fish commission forbids driving ATVs, snowmobiles, and automobiles on public lakes

[Thorney]

WHAT? You can't drive a snowmobile or ATV on a lake in PA? I'd move.😉

Nice fish house project! I will be following your progress. (Jealousy).

Good looking build thank you for all the photos. Just curious what are the other 2 frame works visible in back ground of your photos ? It appears you are working in a commercial garage given the door sizes and amount of space.

Those are training booths, they are used to practice wiring and/or plumbing

[mr.clean]

Thank you for the reply to my question Cfilbert.

Well I got some time today, started to work the wheel wells.  I used 1/4 inch HDPE

[Cfilbert]

I have the first three sheets of ceiling hung. These are 1/4 inch birch plywood painted cottage white.  The LED lights each have a toggle switch by each of them.
 


The seams will be covered with 3/8 x  1 inch strips stained to the wall color. 

[Cfilbert]

I started to do some of the initial wiring.  Using bus bars to make all connections.  The cdx  plywood is just a mounting board.  If you look beside the plywood you will see the birch plywood that will be going on the walls.

[Cfilbert]

Well the lights work.  All connections are soldered with heat shrink tubing.  I also got the first two speakers installed.  The ceiling fan in the middle should help with pushing the heat down.

Looking good.  Take your time, and post a lot of pics
