    Great Tutorial thank you, did you use PLY wood to finish rather than Dry wall.

    WOW like it, looks like interlocking wood panels, looks like log cabin in side. I still like Ply wood panels.

    Did you use conduit for the electrical work? ie, for wall plugs and wiring?
    Also, how are you powering the cabin? Solar, wind??

    The vapor barrier isn’t needed since the container walls creates a vapor barrier. The metal structure creates a unique situation with insulation. The best fool proof way to avoid condensation is sprayfoam. Using any other insulation will allow air to reach the steel wall and condensate. Sprayfoam seals it airtight and prevents the wall from sweating. If you cut into that wall after a heating season I bet you would find water signs and mold. Bottom line is the metal requires sprayfoam.

    you are aware that to have decent R-value you need a suitable depth of insulation…i would have thought you would have turned you studs the other way to be able to install more insulation. I’m sure the way you have done it will work ok, but you will need more heat to keep your temp up to a comfortable level.
