The plywood floor has been sealed with 3 coats of spar varnish and mounted to the frame with elevator bolts, these hold much better than the carriage bolts and don't spin when you tighten them. I've also started on framing the walls using 4 in x 1 in ( actually 3/4 in) pine. The framing for the door frame is Oak and Popular to add strength for mounting the door hinges and hardware. Next will be to buy some 4 x 10 ft 1/4 inch ACX plywood to attach to the outside of the frame, then insulate with 3/4 foam and then put the inner wall on, which will also be 1/4 ply, not sure what type of wood but more than likely it will be either Birch or Oak.
