building container home in Pahoa
#7
I am planning to furnish the above container and make it liveable. Now it is a dark cave but that will be fixed by putting in windows. I also plan to put up 3" metal studs recessed into the low spots and put up sheetrock. I don't plan to spend much time or effort insulating. The sheetrock will add thermal mass which with our average temperatures here will go a long ways towards ensuring a comfortable living space. Insulation will require a certain thickness which I feel I can't afford due to the narrowness of the container and the required clearances for everything, and I really think it will be OK if I keep the sun off of it.
