I realize that it may be too late by the time this video is released after editing and such but hopefully not. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I have a feeling that you intend to use your high cube conx’s partially for dry work spaces. If you are you really should use the trackhoe to either lay them on their sides or to rock them over far enough to get some type of work stand or heavy sawhorses under. The reason I say this is due to the fact that they need some type of insulation under the floor between the lateral bulkheads. The fork slots are simple enough to block off once you have them permanently located but putting the roof on top of them will complicate the process extremely. Spent a lot of hours in similar containers as shops on job sites as well as break rooms. Keeping them warm and dry in the winter is quite a task without the void under the floor insulated even with nearly new one trip containers. The amount of hardware and tools I’ve seen ruined from condensation in them is ridiculous. For the containers we used for break shacks most of the crew carried 5 gallon buckets in with them for lunch as a habit in wintertime just to prop our feet off of the freezing floor. The job I spent 12 years on where the containers were more permanent we actually used R30 insulation on the bottom of them. After the fiberglass batting was in between the bulkheads we screwed either sheet metal or 4x8 sheets of what looked like nylon to the bottom of them. The nylon sheets were really nothing more than plastic dump truck bed liner cut into manageable sizes.
The government branch worked at the same site but independently of us. They learned after the second winter how much humidity condenses in those containers. Two of the 40’ configuration were theirs, one of which housed much of the GPS computer hardware, signal repeaters, as well as radio communication electronics. They learned the hard way which caused much delay in the beginning phases of the job. Sadly as it was a government contract, that money comes from our pockets. Anyway, back to the original subject, if I’m too late and you’ve already begun roofing your shop there is still a solution. The solution may be a bit more on the pricey side but it’s more of a last resort. Expanding foam can be added at just about any time to the void under your containers but should be applied by a professional, hence the additional cost. The reason I mention professional installation is from a firsthand account of seeing what it does to the floor of the container. During a bridge job one of the company bosses thought he’d be slick and try insulating what had been the tool and rigging container while the rest of us were eating lunch in the other shack. The floor was strong enough to twist about 7/8 of the bulkheads in the bottom before turning into a busted splintered mess with around 10” of the outside skin warped at the bottom.
You have my most sincere apologies for dragging this out so long on your comments section. Just hope to get the message to you soon enough so you’re not backtracking later to spend extra time and money on what could be a much easier, cheaper process now. If anything else, do your own research on the subject to form your own conclusion, just thought it best to make you aware.
The 2 of you have gotten so good at using the equipment so well. Love how the you both work together so well. Can't wait to see what is coming next.
The worst part of these videos is when they end I can watch them all day long.
That trailer is freaking neat, had no idea such a thing existed. Awesome little transformer.
haha "We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting, moving trailers."
@@thisolesignguy2733 That is in the visible spectrum, if they saw what happened in the cloaked mode there would be mass hysteria...
Same! That trailer is freakin awesome!
if you set that roof on the containers up for rain catchment you will get massive amount of water every rain
that's a great idea
The fact that the googly eye has survived is hilarious!! Love you guys.
Wearing your chaps that way is the ultimate CYA
I am impressed that you were able to do several different 'topic' videos at the same time. I recognize that your fill dirt is from the water video. You were essentially working on multiple projects at once in a few of your videos. Yet, you managed to edit them in such a way that each video is one project.
Things got a little crazy around here this summer! 🤪
I can't even begin to imagine HOW crazy it got this summer! Keep up the good work!@@AmbitionStrikes
That’s smart planning for content creation. These guys know how to do it so well.
AmbitionStikes at great at both the work being done and all that pre & post production
that is such a good idea! protected cold storage on each side for some items with a huge amount of space for additional protected from mother nature storage in the middle!
Hello Riley,
I have 4 shipping containers used for storage. Under 3 of them, I used vapor barriers on the ground. This greatly reduces the moisture level inside. I used polyethylene film with 90 lb roofing rolled over the top of the plastic film. The containers were placed on railroad cross ties, providing an air space below. It also gives room for storage of items such as pipe.
Good luck with the project,
Len
Soon you'll have a shop like Diesel Creek's!
Good to keep the equipment out of the weather.
You know nothing !!
@@shanehumphrey4827Hey has a similar container shop
The overall plan is coming together. The excavator & Skidsteer have paid for them selves many times over. The storage area will save your equipment through the Winters. You guys rock! ❤
GOOD SUNDAY MORNING
I love that the eyes on the excavator are still there.
Watching a couple use their combined creative ingenuity to overcome problems and putting plans in place is a wonderful thing to behold Courtney & Riley. I am sure that both of you are an inspiration to many other couples and singles. Terrific video. 🤩🤩🤩 🦘🦘🦘
You guys have come so far! You are proof that if you work hard and delay gratification for a while, you can really get ahead in America! So proud of you guys.
the googly eyes kills me every time ♥
It understandably the need for work shop positioned away and not to be pounding and sawing and causing fumes with a baby sleeping upstairs. Especially, will be good not to have to freeze while shoveling snow and ice off everything this winter. It is really a treat to watch all this come together
. Great job !
You all are amazing! God bless you all and your little baby boy!🥰❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
I can’t wait to see what you do with your shipping containers. I absolutely love the idea of making these as functional as possible. Have a great weekend my RUclips friends. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
The 80's inspirational cartoon/Rocky music was perfect🤙
I am a big fan of re-purposing and this project makes shipping containers and used trusses look great (not an easy lift) while providing much needed area to keep your equipment out of direct outside environment which will pay you huge dividends as time goes by in keeping your equip. in tip top shape. NICE!! Ray
That is so great to see that container come all the way in on the road
We still can’t believe how easy it was to get them up here!
Hard work and daring ambition pay off, well done love watching @@AmbitionStrikes
Thanks Cour5tney, Riley and Oliver for making, editing and uploading this Team effort of moving 2 giant 40' trailers exactly where you had prepared and marked it! Loved seeing the repair of the snow blower. Look forward to seeing you install the bargain roof trusses and install a roof above.
Diesel Creek West at it again! Shipping container shop for almost NO MONEY!
I'm guessing in the back of Riley's mind he's thinking "just imagine this huge roof where I can mount more solar panels!" And yes, those shed trailers are amazing. Very creative and well thought out. Shed delivery is an industry all by itself.
I think they already produce more power than they can reasonably use, but if some other energy intensive need comes along that will be a good place to add more production.
Courtney, that shorts and rubber boots outfit is going to be the next fashion craze. 🤪
No can ever have too much storage space, or a place to park vehicles and machinery! I'm glad to see the road so much improved before winter, and the addition of much needed cover for your equipment and machinery. You two (plus little Oliver) are really doing a great job!!
I love how you have video cams and hidden microphones everywhere, in the sky, on the equipment, on tripods - there HAS to be a camera/sound crew and workforce housing for all the Trades working behind the scenes - and then Courtney just strolls up wearing Baby
I have been subscribed since before your home build. I so Love how grateful you both are to your subscriber’s it is so humbling to hear you both say Thank you to us ! We Love your family & videos! 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Why didn't you put gravel under the container?
This build is going to have a bit of a diesel creek vibe.... I like it!
Awhile back we had a 16x32 cabin delivered and Brandon has a similar trailer. He snaked in between a tree and a building. He put it exactly where I asked, exactly!
I'm so excited for you three! To have an instant second shop! That is awesome. Can't wait to see it continue.
Proof positive. Teamwork makes the dream work 😊
Ha ha ha! I LOVE the 80's movie montage music while adjusting the containers! PERFECT! Who ever chose that is my hero!
I love those dual container setups. I'd love to have a shop like that. @ 14:41 "This might be a really bad idea." If y'all had a dollar for every time Riley says that, y'all could retire. LOL!
Wow. Never would have thought of using storage containers as quick and dirty roof support. You still have the containers for indoor storage and a carport in the middle. Very smart.
Now that is a proper container delivery method!
Wish you could of done some base rock under the containers. I was jus thinking the other day that all your nice equipment would like a shed & be under a roof this winter.
Back in the 70's we built a barn like this using Reefer Railroad Cars, it is still used on that ranch today. My UGLY TRUTH video on Containers was to help those that want to live in one, this is a Good Use for them. Storage Containers, now that has a ring to it. I Like your work.
You push 40 ft containers into position more easily than I set furniture and a 55in TV in the refurbished conservatory. Well done for this stage.
Hey guys, this is bill, I just wanna tell you. I'm going to your lumber yard to buy those concrete Poles for my Pole barn and load up. My trailer with trust is and if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have never saw how to really make that Paul barn last a long time. I appreciate you guys your videos are always awesome. I'll be up there today, long drive, talk to you.
Careful using freshly milled lumber for anything like this. The sheer amount of shrinkage it will have over the next 2-3 years will make the structure have issues if they bear any load. Milled lumber should be either kiln dried or let sit for at least year or two before its used for much so it has time to dry fully.
What you two have accomplished in such a short amount of time in the last few years is pretty incredible!!!
LOL every time I see your excavator with the googly eyes I giggle like a kid 😆
Perfect music for the team effort container placement.
Can’t wait to see how you do the trusses….. add some clearstory window framing first? And totally aligned for more solar.
We did something similar at the ranch except ran trusses to the outside, giving us storage on the container. We framed them up a few feet as wall. We did that so it looked like a barn, for the neighbors. Works great. Equipment storage in the middle, storage and work space in the containers. Added a roll up door to one container to access the tools for the equipment, but should have just done a sliding barn door.
Great video, do you all get a little nervous when you hear Riley say "I think I have an idea?" haha
Your camera man seems to sleep a lot but smiles so cutely. Pretty soon he will be crawling all over the site, looking for good camera angles. The drone will be a favorite for reckless Oli.
you guys' enthusiasm is what people are drawn to, I think what the project happens to be doesn't matter as much
That is so great you found a convenient and cheap water source! I hope it produces water for decades for you.
The 80s action-music-montage during first container placement...👌
Still waiting to see when you do a huge carport off the other side of your house. I honestly figured that was going to be the next thing. But I'm loving this as well..
I hope you’re leveling and anchoring the containers. Also put 2 ground rods on each container. Weld hurricane straps to containers to affix the roof trusses. If you add a 4 foot knee wall on top of containers you can have a 13’ high ceiling. It will also provide additional storage on top of containers. You’ll be able to put implements that are seasonal or aren’t used frequently out of the weather using the excavator. You’ll fill the storage shed easily. You’ll wish you had room for 12’ Lean To’s on each side.
I was thinking that you would need levelled concrete footings.
Good idea to anchor things down in case of storm/wind.
Need longer episodes. Still enjoy watching just seems as soon as you get comfy to watch its over but at least it's not all talking and b roll like other RUclipsrs
Fun. The joy of moving dirt. Best time me and the kids had on the youngest's birthday. Rented a front loader from HD and got 32cf of fill. They road around with me all day leveling the back yard.
What I love about the way you guys operate, nothing, I mean nothing seems to scare you. You’ll have a go at anything, and if there’s a problem, just work it out😃. Good example, “let’s buy a big dozer, and when it s breaks down we’ll work out how to fix it”. Nothing will stop you.
I would have used couple of those trees and put it under the containers to help roll it or pivot it in place. Looks good. I would get some solid concrete blocks or something to set those containers on. When I was overseas as a contractor, we made wouldn't blocks that were 12x12x12 of 2x4's to set containers on. Worked really well. That would give you more clearance. Will you be able to get all the equipment under the roof to work on them? What is your tallest or highest piece of equipment? Also by raising them up, you could pour a concrete floor later too. That would making working on equipment so much easier and better! You could also get same result by building some small knee walls onto of the containers too. Wouldn't take much to do that. It would be better in the long run if you had more clearance. Maybe even be able to add a overhead crane for some of those heavy lifting project or repairs!!
Hope you all are still enjoying the idaho life. I havent lived anywhere else but wouldn't want to.
This two shipping container workshop/covered storage area idea is something I've been kicking around for quite some time, but have yet to implement. I am therefore glad you two are tackling it; perhaps I can get some fresh ideas. Thanks. All I need is a skidsteer and an excavator, ha ha.
Cool, Amition Stikes episode of Mighty Machines!👍
Great idea for a storage/shelter. Can't wait for next week!
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
That was super! That crab-walking trailer is a new one for me. Certainly validated the road upgrades, too. Well done. QUESTION: How does Oliver know to look at the camera? He looks right at it on cue.
I think he loves the fuzzy microphone! 🤣
Anyone can fill a dump truck. But a good measure of a backhoe or excavator operator is the ability to cut to a grade. Nice work.
Cool trailer. I remember seeing those mechanisms on the back of big luxury cars.
Dude I must say your welding has gotten way better.
just a few ideas 1 extend the rafters to the edge of the containers,gets rid of the flat roofs,large area for solar panels to heat the units and dipstick heaters.2 use part of your old road to make a rock crushing area,this is to make your own gravel.collect the snow melt into a cistern. just a think
THE COMPANY HATES YOU FOR THIS REWORK ON THEIR SNOWBLOWER . WOW KEEP IT GOING ...
Love the engineering detail. First one I watch on Sunday morning. Your videography is first class. Hats off to you both.
These containers look like in good condition, I did not see any rust, or any significant damage, congratulations!
Awesome Job! This is going to be a great usable storage and parking facility, much needed! Take Care you Three! Tom
I'm guessing you guys got a little inspiration from Matt over at Diesel Creek for that container/roof storage area? The first time I saw that container shed, I figured I would do that one day myself. Then when you guys started building up on that raw land, I figured that you would eventually build something similar to keep your 'toys' out of the weather.
Great effort from the both of you is paying off. Thanks for sharing the voyage.
Coolest trailer ever
Nice job on the containers. Weld adjustable skids on the bottom of your snow blower. You can't clear down to the surface unless it's a hard pavement.
look at all that solar panel potential space
What a great project. I love the concept and the innovation you two tackle. Great job. Can't wait till next episode.
I can't wait for the trusses. No really. I can't wait. Post it now. Go on. Post it.
That was fun, thanks
The value you are adding to this property is phenomenal 🎉
Thanks for the content guys, its fun to watch.
Thanks for letting us know about the delivery of your newest container. I hope you can get the trusses up and covered before the snow arrives!,
So pleased that you are creating workshop/storage unit for your machinery. So I am looking forward to watch your progress. Keep well - Oliver looks a great kid!
I agree with the other comments here. That trailer was pretty amazing. Plus, your previous abode shows more of your ingenuity. I can see how it's carried over to your Idaho location. 👍
I've been thinking you were in need of a machinery shed. Great plan! Yes, Riley, I've accused you not only of having plan, but a successful one!
Sometimes I think Courtney married you just to get to drive your toys! She always looks so excited when she gets behind the wheel so to speak. Both of you are living so large! What a wonderful life you have! Oliver is very blessed indeed.
Someone here mentioned maybe putting crossties under the sea cans Or perhaps concrete blocks. May not be a bad idea for rust prevention but also get you 7 more inches of height under your trusses.
Great idea. Can’t wait to see this project come together. 👍👍
You got the containers in. It will be a good project to do the roofing.
I used a 20' for my kitchen and cloths dressing area. In winter it froze inside and dripped badly. The next summer I covered with large hay bales, the 3' wide x 3' x 8' long I got farmer to make long. We're a perfect fit. Covered in black plastic and tyres. Coldest to got was 11 C and warmest 24 C. Had double glazed, double doors in door end. Main doors permantly open. Outside temp from -8C to +39C. Changed my comfort level hugely.
Love the container shop build! I have 2 high cube containers that I am going to do the same with. Can't wait for the rest of the videos. Keep up the great videos guys!
It is so exciting to follow all your off grid projects. Thank you so much for making that possible ❤
5:40 - Glad to hear you are getting 2-3 gallons/hour out of your shallow well I think rain water harvesting in summer will be a must. I would like to see your water treatment system once it is installed.
Reilly I really admire the relationship you have with Courtney. My wife and I are very similar. We do custom builds and my wife trusts me completely and I trust her. We also will convey doubts and skepticisms!
That was a cool trailer...your no half getting on with things...well done....stay safe you all
How cool that you have the machinery- and that you both can operate them!
We had a 20 foot shed delivered with a trailer like that. It was like watching a magic show as he pivoted it and dropped it right on a dime.
That pivoting trailer is awesome.
You two are AMAZING. SO AMAZING
The music you played while moving the first container made me feel like I was watching a Rocky movie. Lol
I could watch you guys work for hours. You need a full time camera crew and editor. “Casey Production Crew”
