Here is a video of another Container Window home talking about why not to use the utility window for their container house (which seem to be what you used when I saw the video) ruclips.net/video/ZTan669DxHU/видео.html I put the 500sec mark so it start where they talk about it.
It is important to foam insulate the internal walls and be sure there are no cavities between steel and insulation, otherwise you will get condensation.
^ should add its adhesive spray foam, it’s the most efficient insulation for containers and doesn’t leave voids where moist air can condense against cold steel
@@mctaggm
Yes! That spray foam is an excellent sealant.
Facts!
InSoFast is a great looking container specific insulation. They also make a great exterior insulation for a conventional home build.
We never see Oliver fuss. They are so blessed to have such an amiable baby.
just because they don't film/show it, does not mean it never happens. I've never seen them take a p00p too, but i bet it will happen
Riley, you need to build a large wheeled cart for your welder to ride on when outside for easier rolling.
And to attach a new snow plow to! Winter weld plow 5000!
I thought that would have an excellent time for the skid steer
Just put some off-road tires on the cart
You have an amazing wife. She doesn't hesitate to jump in and help with any project. She has many talents.
Yeah, they are a very versatile family. Can't wait to see Oliver welding, grinding, and movin' dirt with the D-9 next year. ;)
CONGRATS on THE MILLER SPONSORSHIP.
BIG DEAL.
Riley is such a MASTER FABRICATOR !! AMAZING !!
Your mother is going to love her tiny house. 😊
This would have been a great time to have the rough terrain welding cart. I look forward to that build
Remote control? 😉
Use the skid steer as a remote control.
With motor assist!
@@thegreeneyej don't forget the seat and hydraulic steering!!! Lol 73 Dan
Courtney, using the cardboard to finish marking the cutout lines was very clever! Great job.
Paint prep is key to a good finished product! It's also 60 % of the whole job. Fun project! 😊
Riley, I think you should add larger wheels to your welder along with a handle that makes it easier to control and move long distances. The project looks great - just like always! I'll be excited to see finished product and its new location.😊
Maybe a simple robotic drive with those larger wheels?
Larger pneumatic wheels and a tow bar for the quad, etc.
This was one of those episodes where i don't want it to end, now I have to wait for a whole week until the next one! 😊
I really enjoy watching you make things, but I really enjoy seeing the love that you two have for each other
What an awesome way to honor your Mom! Great job you guys!!
Yes to the tubing bender!! You should make a steel tube rocking chair for Grandma's porch!!!
Love the design and doing it the right way. Beveling steel before welding, paint prep all makes it done right. Excellent job. Hope the Cortney's back is better. Great to have family help.
Love when you two do projects together!!!
Dynaflex Max is like 10x messier than the old formulation. It's not just you :)
Best Mother’s Day gift ever for grandma 🌸💜💐
Now we have to build a giant window frame that holds two windows and the door... And the ROOF, load bearing points are vital. And as you yourself showed in the previous video, even heavy steel bends under load.
Military auctions are a great place to find great anything.
Being an Air Force brat. We went to Government Auctions a lot. We got our bed from the military, storage cabinets, tabels, accidentally radar absorbent paint, and many other things.
I, for one, appreciate the PPE you guys use. Great example for us all !
I do too but I wish they would use quality knee pads as they will probably feel it later on in life. They have come a very long way
It would've been interesting to use the cutout as the awning, and put it AND the porch on hinges so it could fold up and be actually portable, and also fold up for security if you want to leave it somewhere unattended.
Baileydog and Boonedog cameos! That always makes a good video!
What a great family, Oliver is so precious,and his mother is the best! family members are forever!!hope you are feeling better Courtney!! Moms so Happy with that new mini house.ryan rocks the roost!later kids Love the skinners family members
I just wanted to comment FINALLY and tell you guys that you are sooo f***ing cool!!! You're both so talented and I love that you're sharing all your adventures in building your homestead with us! Been following for about two years now and I'm so inspired by you two, hoping to buy some land someday and get into similar projects ❤️
Nice work Riley
Good thing you are lucky to have Courtney smooth up and beautify the final product.
Really coming along nicely.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
So much work done by the three of you. It is looking fantastic! I have not done a lot of painting but enough to know it's a lot of work and hard on your back and arms. Courtney you are a gluten for punishment. Hope you get some quiet rest soon. Your Oliver is such a handsome boy and love his smile. Your mom's smile says , thank you so much! See you later.
Gluten? You must mean _glutton_ . Maybe you have gluten-free (as in a diet) on the mind?
I've got news for you, the three of them are barely doing any of the work. The vast majority of the work is being done by others off camera.
@@bonzocleach2496 How do you know that? How many people are off camera?
@@wallykramer7566 Because I wasn't born yesterday. Construction, painting, welding, fabricating, moving equipment and materials, etc. is hard work. These people never get dirty. They don't sweat. Every clipped scene of them doing anything is about 10 seconds. Come on man, use your brain.
You kids bring a whole new meaning to "making the sparks fly". Loving this project. One note: be very careful where you locate "Mom's Cabin". Too far away from your house and, one big snowfall, she has to wait for you guys to move the snow so she can get out. Also, try to give her a flat surface to walk to your home. One good freeze and Mom could be sliding down the driveway like a bobsled driver--without the sled.
Looks good.
Yes Riley I do want to see you bend some tubing.
I enjoy watching (and learning) you and your family build lots of things. Hello from Michigan.
And do the tubing length calculations!
As a fellow back issue sufferer I hope you get better quickly!!! My two boys hate when my back is out because it limits soo much. My wife was watching with me and was like "Damn, she is like you put her back out while coughing." The strangest things bring it on.
The incredibly cautious way he says caulk 😂
Add a set of air quick disconnect fittings to your shielding gas line. Then you can leave the talks in the shop. Yes, you have to drag the hose around with the extension cord but thats better then the tank(s).
Works great out of the back of the truck as well.
I love watching your projects. You are so good with metal.
Get your-self a battery operated caulk gun - constant smooth bead all the time the trigger is engaged. No more scallops of caulk. Worth the $$.
Thanks for the tip.
So far your idea with this container is working out great.When you two work together great things happen.Keep up the fantastic work.All thumbs up.👍👍👍👍
Nice, i can’t wait for decor from walls, ceiling, floor and all the things that make it a home!! Mom looked very excited so I was excited for her!!
You Guys are so funny. Good showmanship all around.
I'm 61 & when i grow up, i wanna be like Riley!!
Riley, when caulking, spray the caulking with a washing liquid solution then use your finger or a tool to compress and shape.
Riley I adore your work. For me welding is such a beasty complicated thing because of bending and forming on the heat. You really get it all the time.
Glad you answered the osh gosh semi question cause I’m really excited to see what you do with it and the tiny house your mother in law may not want to leave with the views you have and no electric bill or water bill and a son in law that can fix everything lol 😂
Looking so great! Mom will be in luxury in her own house!
A comment just to help the algorithm.🎉
🙌
LUCKY MOM. Wow the container looks so good painted , Riley and Courtney you 2 are so talented on how you come up with ideas on making things. have you seen the pistol grip for rattle cans ? It makes it so much easier to paint with. It was great to have your brother there to help. Cant wait to see the next stage of the build.
You guys are really doing an awesome job! Do you need an adopted father-in-law? I would love one of those tiny houses! Always a joy to see baby Oliver, he is growing up so fast and getting cuter as he grows😊
Amazing you both 😂 with comedy involved and help from your brother
New subscriber here… I somehow was brought to your channel through another one about a self-sufficient couple (Can’t Contain Us). I enjoy seeing couples who work together to realize their dreams and build their own life… together. You guys rock. I watch a few other couples as well (Wild Wonderful Off Grid and Life Uncontained). So pleased to see so many of you on RUclips! Cheers!
Looking forward to seeing where the tiny house willl live.
good job guys, i have painted dozens of gallons of urbane bronze inside my customers houses, and i never thought that could be what color your buildings are, ive never done it outdoors, it looks more olive outdoors. also, if you have any issues with that dtm enamel, i feel you! i have brushed, rolled, and sprayed that stuff, it never lays out nice!
Yes 100% @4:42
Got to see tube bending!
7 cutting wheels

Edit
you did really well there ..*(My time line .. considering I have to find all my cutting disk and face shield /mask.
Etc etc. ..lol .. oh to be young again )
Courtney, you guys need to build you an "inversion table" which will allow you to hang upside down and give your spine relief from compression. Gravity hates this one complicated trick!
Was feeling super crummy today but y'all's videos are so uplifting and informative. Love your content and watching y'all's place grow.
It just wouldn't be an Ambition Strikes video without Riley's butt hanging out. ASS-ide from that, another awesome job guys!
This container project has given me an idea for a Garden Shed / Storage shop in our back yard🎉I cannot wait to start on it!
That paint job and the craftsmanship 👏
It’s one thing to have the right tools. It’s another thing to know how to use them. You guys DEFINITELY know how to use them 👍. Absolutely FANTASTIC !! I love these videos.
You Two are pretty amazing! I commend you on both your creative projects but also how well you do them... Keep up the good work. Enjoy Ken
Hi there
Great plan, get mum out of the house and in the woods! It's a great build. You guys make awesome videos. When using your caulk gun, push into joint, don't pull. Try it, works a dream!
Great paint job Courtney!
Thank you Miller. Great channel to sponsor.
I think the reason you had to keep trimming to get the frame to fit was cause you took alot of the structure out and it sagged. Probably could have used the skid steer to take the weight off.
Love Mom's reaction.
Excellent teamwork!
Would it be possible for you all to do a final breakdown of costs associated with this specific build at the end?
Thanks for all the inspiration. You rock.
Great work for your mom!!! I need those welding corner jigs! Those are definitely well thought out
Love how Riley says caulk, with the emphasis on the "L"! 🙂 But seriously great work guys!
Awesome installed every episode! Riley, you might want to look into a big wheel cutting bottle stand and lose the took box- the Miller looks like a reasonably portable machine.
You are doing just fine - greetings from a rainy sunday in Denmark (even d that there was ice on the car windows this morning - I do believe that spring is here. cheers
Ingen regn eller frost i 3630,😀
@@dvpa1 godt at se der er andre danskere der ser "med"
@@dvpa1 jeg er btw i 4262 😃
As I watched Riley putting full welds on the first joint. Ne Ne my friend. ALWAYS tac all the joints. Then go back and finish weld. Well that has been the rule of thumb with all the shops I work with.
And those corner jigs??? Awesomesauce!!!!
Caffeinator out.
ALWAYS tac
I thought that was funny, he talked about tacking the window frame into the container but didn’t do it for building the frame. Tacking frame construction probably would have stopped it from going out of square. But hey, they’re hobbyists DIY everything, not full time, they get a bunch of slack for occasional oopses.
Very well thought out as usual! Keep up the great work.
I think the hilarious part about this video is that I was just looking at buying that exact paint sprayer you two used. Your video was a perfect advertisement for it. 😂
You doing excellent job, I’m very impressed. It will be a beautiful little cabin just because I gave you suggestions doesn’t mean I don’t get impressed by your craftsmanship.
I am loving watching this container house come together..❤
It’s looking good! Your Mom looked so happy!!❤️🤗
Also I find backbelts very helpful when my back wants to go out.
Shaping up nicely.

I'm left-handed too, Courtney, so you're not alone! Rest your back now, girl!
When thinking about something to do causes tension, it is a conditioned reflex. Daily yoga practice conditions the relaxation response to stressors and the preconscious apprehension of a stressful event.

I believe the word "amazing" has been used in most of the comments so far, but it is truly AMAZING what you have accomplished on the container conversion project thus far. Keep up the great work.
Wow. Fantastic progress. Love it all.
I must have missed a recent episode, I dont recall the camo Oshkosh, nice!
Great job on the conversion!
Sorry to see Courtney is down for a bit, that happens when I sneeze, sometimes. Great video, as always!
Oh, Yes, and the acoustics are FANTASTIC !
!
Will you come build me a Tiny Home, y'all are amazing and OH how adorable is Oliver!!!
Hello Juanita
Glad you had some ideas to get this project to this point in that weather. Looks really good you guy's 👏.
Great job. Really looking good. Can't wait to see where the project goes from there.
Nice job! So nice for Oliver and family to have grandma around! Be safe!
SOOO in love with this build! And the corner jigs are perfect.
I love how its going, you are doing a great job and Courtney's Moms reaction was priceless x
It's coming together beautifully. Keep up the hard work 💪
Courtney you need an inversion table I've had one for 15 years it has saved me so much back pain
Courtney is a really good find.
Wow! I love watching you getting things done...and youre both so amazing!❤
I love the color you went with 🥰. Loved your mom's expression when you told it was for her 😊.
Well done! Nice that you hade help for a couple days! Mom was really surprised!
That CAD (cardboard articulated drawing) template , worked great for getting straight lines on the corrugated metal.
Good job guys, looking good so far all three of you did really well! Keep safe and mind the dust and fumes in the next phase.
What a great job. I believe you can accomplish anything you set your minds to!
What a Great Team you guy’s make! This video reminds me of when you built the house! Oliver is still the star of the Show 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Wow. Love the color choice. This is yet another (not surprising) awesome project!
