Steelies Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 drain vent, main water supply, spot for water heater. kitchen bench/sink to be chopped, and bathroom basin gona be interesting to see if i can keep the end of the bench tidy once it's chopped to length. stand by for new entry in fabrication stuffup thread plumbing under bathroom. mental note to all: dig holes before container goes down, getting in between the crossmembers with digging gear is great fun as the gaps are around same width as a shovel. it's looking like i need to make the container doors bifold too, the one on the right is already annoying me: open up container - deck is blocked etc. looks ok in this pic but it is quite obtrusive in person. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Got the grand tour over the weekend, waaaay more lush in person (And considering it looks fucking lush in the photos, you get the idea of how lush it actually is). Also, cut and shut bench to keep the nice finshed end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 yep you got it, cut and shut. butt jointing SS sheet is a bitch to keep straight though, will need to get crafty to keep the nice swage also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 yep you got it, cut and shut. butt jointing SS sheet is a bitch to keep straight though, will need to get crafty to keep the nice swage also. I suggest borrow UJ's air powered swaging tool so you can under/over lap joint the bench. Something like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
