What this video covers
Mads and Ava finish the interior build-out of a 40-ft shipping container workshop, installing insulation, flooring, paneling, and a partition door. To insulate the office floors, they install firring strips, 1.5-inch XPS foam, and OSB subflooring, sealing gaps with spray foam to prevent condensation.▶ 3:03 For the walls and ceiling, they install faux shiplap paneling using a drywall hoist and construction adhesive.▶ 8:38 A solid-core pre-hung door separates the workshop from the office, with shims used to ensure the frame is plumb before securing it with 3-inch screws.▶ 12:48 Mads runs electrical wiring through EMT conduit for an industrial aesthetic, while Ava finishes the interior with paint.▶ 14:21 The project concludes with the installation of luxury vinyl plank flooring.▶ 16:43 The build utilizes a WaterSaw, a foldable tool compatible with standard reciprocating saw blades, for cutting foam and other materials.▶ 18:49
