Insulation first or framing first? My second build in Austin changed my mind completely
On my first container build I framed the walls before putting in any insulation. Big mistake. The metal was sweating in the humid Texas mornings and moisture got behind the studs before I even sealed it up. Took 4 days to dry out the interior. On my second build I did the spray foam right after the container was sealed and before any framing. Night and day difference. No condensation at all. But I know some builders swear by framing first so they can run conduit easier. Which order do you guys go with on your container builds and have you run into moisture issues either way?

Wait, did you have any issues with the spray foam sticking to the metal after the container was sealed, or did you use some kind of bonding primer first?
