Only after he did a couple of the welds, I figured out how to do some.
Once the floor supports were welded in place, the floor went on.
For the floor I upgraded from the 5/8 OSB, to 3/4 Plywood. A little more support, a little more stable.
2.5 sheets of plywood, a bunch of screws and a bunch of 2x4's we have floor and 2 sidewalls.
The walls are a little lop-sided, but they are not secured yet.
The floor is secured with 16 carriage bolts down the middle (6 in each 4x8 sheet, and 4 in the 2x8 sheet) through the metal floor supports. The walls will then be fastened with hex bolts through the footer of the wall, the plywood floor then the metal floor support. (again 6 through each 4x8, and 2 through the 2x8 the second one is a carriage bolt because of the placement of the studs in the wall.
