building container home in Pahoa
#4
The C channel idea of Robs' is the best, just make the walls as if you are doing interior steel stud walls (Bob Villa has some great tips on metal stud walls, as does the e-how site)...

I have a ??? why are you putting plywood up on the interior? (for stable attachment or for looks, or...?) Not sure I would go with it, unless very well treated for termite (you should see what the buggers did to plywood in this house!) (I know some think we are a little over the top, but it is very impressive to see the damage they do in a couple of decades, left unchecked, even 8 years is enough for noticeable chewing on the untreated wood of most exterior door frames... we have learned a lot in 3 years! )

With a container, I think I would go with a non mold/mildew growing interior surface...

A good radiant barrier is a must - there are exterior paints & Reflectix foil that are both good..
