Step 2: Next we planned the foundation/flooring:

We searched for the most level, high piece of ground possible. Then we chose our flooring, foundation and leveling materials.

Many of our materials were reclaimed/re-use products. Note in the photo, the hardwood skid (also known as a pallet). The use of bricks, blocks, and other wood.

A frame was built to lay on top of the skid, to make the area a bit larger (the skid size isn't big enough). The frame was constructed out of 2x4" spruce studs.

The floor framing was then covered by a reclaimed (from an indoor project so it was in top notch condition), piece of aspenite (also known as "chip board," "OSB," or "waferboard").

The floor was leveled, in all directions and we were ready to proceed to the next step.
