Very cool.
Got any pics of the inside? Wonder what the roof/trusses look like? I've been in a few Morgan buildings that they bring to the rodeo, but they are already finished on the inside. Always figured I could build them myself. Did they use dimensional lumber for the framing or is it metal studs too?

Are there windows on the other side too? I am a big fan of the 2x framed bunks. you should be able to fit 4 bunks in there comfortably. The windows might present a problem, hard to tell from the pic. If there were no windows on the back, I'd probably have 2 bunks across the back wall (4 beds total) and then put a kitchen table top across the wall under the window next to the door.

This is what I was talking to.
The reason is 4 beds are better than 3. Unused bunks just become storage shelving for bags, bows, etc.
Stove at the window for drafting out the occasional smoke event. counter space on both sides with cabinets above them. The area in front of the door is just the "mud" area.
You can make a hole for the a/c there and keep the other end a window.

Originally posted by SwampRabbit View PostThe other thing, and just my opinion again, I am not a big fan of using up interior space for a stove. If you are eventually going to put a porch, I'd just stick with an outdoor grill. That frees you up for putting in a closet rod to hand your clothes and some shelves, etc.

On the rigid foam insulation, I've used it to insulate blinds. Since your outside sheathing is already in place, just cut it to fit in between the studs. DONT use regular liquid nails...you gotta get the foamboard specific glue or else it will eat the foam up. Cut the pieces to fit tight so they'll stick in there, or else you'll have to cut some "furring" strips and nail them to the studs to hold the insulation to the wall.

Got a little work done Saturday. Electric roughed in and insulation 90% complete. Would have finished the insulation but once we got going the we realized the corners weren't framed complete to allow finishing the interior. We didn't have any lumber with us so we will fix that, finish insulation and paneling on the next trip.
