Photo's of the first half of the construction so far...

This was our original base for the first half of the construction put we decided that we had some much better and stronger materials to use

We created the new base out of some very strong ''I' beams which went
went around the perimeter of the base and through the middle as
strengthening beams.

We then put on some steel and foam insulation panels which
are very strong but very light as we want to keep the design as light
as possible in order for it to be mobile.

The walls are made of the same insulations panels as the ones
that are on the floor of the home.
We have left holes for doors and windows etc.

We then used the same ''I'' beams use in the base, as ceiling beams.

We then put our walls in as suited to our design.
We used thing lengths of wood and chipboard.

Once we had put up all of the beams we put a tempery
floor on to do work up above.

The beams are held on by joist hangers, we also used
metal strapping to make it even stronger.
It is screwed into the beams and riveted into the panels.

Next we had the job of putting up and ''A'' frame to support the
beam which will support the roof.
We got it into position by laying it on top of the beams and screwing it
down with a hinge on it.
We then pulled it up and secured it properly.

We then put ip a second ''A'' frame and put the second support beam
on.

For the wheels we had some very strong metal pipe with wheels
either side bolted on.

The materials that we used.

French windows (much cheaper to hire a van and go to france
and buy them than to get them from England)
