Flooring Has Begun!




Jen expertly sizing up the cuts she needed to make to install the vinyl flooring. Which looks good and was dirt cheap. Perfect for the "Utility Room" where we'll be processing WVO and charging batteries. Meanwhile Matt has been gracious enough to contribute his knowledge of tile laying to the Initiative. He comes equipped with a Wet Saw which sealed the deal! Careful planning and minute adjustments have been made to minimize cuts and make sure everything fits together nice and snug. So far so good. The marble is intended to provide an easily cleanable and durable entry way foyer/mud zone as soon as you enter the Studio. We'll be using this marble throughout both ARK-160 Prototypes. Beyond the mud zone the primary Studio floor will be a combination of Oak tongue and groove boards and hardwood parquet tile. The boards donated to the Initiative by The Haggerty Family and the parquet we got off Craigslist for about a $1/sq.ft. Once its all said and done, I don't think there's another Shipping Container prototype "dwelling" in the World that's decked out with marble tile! It's going to look great!
