Building in the heat and progress.

     Wednesday I went and got the deck lumber for the new trailer. I decided to use 1/2in. OSB on 2x3s instead of 2x4s cost and weight .The OSB was 8.00each and 2x3s 2.15 each . So far I have spent 130.00 $ in lumber and hardware . I paid 8.49 for a pound of sure gripe 3inch screws with torx head . Great screws but damn pricey . I will not use any nails due to its a mobile tiny house. Here is what I have got done so far.



 


   Not bad considering it has been 95 plus everyday .All I have been able to stand has been 2 hours in the morning and an hour in the evenings. The deck is 8 foot 3 inches wide and 19 feet long. That's almost 160 square feet .


    Next will be tires since my truck needs new tires soon I will keep my old  ones for the camper and have new ones put on the truck. After that I will lay vinyl flooring before the walls go up.

    You're farther along than I thought you'd be. Be careful and don't get overheated.

      The deck is the easy part. I am taking this week to catch up on distilling beer . I may get 1 wall done. Going to the lake this weekend.
