Step 22: Paint the floor. Attach the walls.
First thing I did was to put several coats of porch paint (green) on my floor. Some folks use linoleum or adhesive tile or whatever. I was fine with a couple coats of primer and a couple coats of paint. I knew that I would rarely see the floor bc the mattress would be there.
Next I attached the walls. I screwed in through the base of the wall into the 2x2 subfloor. This created a really sturdy joint. I used some pieces of ply as braces to hold the walls up.
I temporarily braced each wall with a couple of spars across the top. The tiny registration holes I drilled through BOTH sheets of ply while they were still sandwiched were a HUGE help here to get things lined up.
Next step was to attach the inner skins. I line them up and glued and brad nailed to the spars.
Its starting to look like a trailer!!
