Attached is the layout and I'll get to adding pics next.  Basically we had steel sticks dropped on the driveway and started completly from scratch.  Steel frame that was galvenized.  Steel 1x2 walls, axels crank up and down with hand jacks not cables, and we just converted them to remove the handle so that rather than cranking by hand we can just raise and lower it with the cordless drill.  This is nice because the jacks unpin from the frame and we can take them with us as added theft protection.  Sprayfoam insulation and walls are on with 3m vhb tape so absolutely no screws or rivets.  Also have a 1 piece aluminum roof so no places for leaks there and cold weather rated windows.  Feel free to ask questions or share ideas.

This next week will be dedicated to the inside getting the tongue and groove pine up.  Then will be able to focus on wiring, cabinets, gas lines etc...  Hoping to be almost completely done by this fishing season with just minor changes needed as we decide what options we want.

I'll try and take one soon.  Basically just attached the spring to the axle on the front and it pins in the back one you jack it up.

Had a change of plans and decided to wire first before paneling.  Happy we did as it could have been done after but would have been much more difficult.  Got everything fully wired in now and have the ceiling completely done and most of the back wall.  Will be taking a break for the week with the heat coming through but will be back at the walls next week.
