Container Homes Are Not Easy. TONS Of Grinding And Welding!!!

In this video, we discuss the massive amount of grinding required to make a nice floor joint between two containers that we are building out for a lab, but this is similar as to if you were building a container home. We also begin welding the floor sections together that had a fairly large gap.

Lots of work to containers good they are cheap to buy

Is the OSB going directly onto the floor? Wood sleepers and rigid foam insulation might be good for a quiet, more comfortable (if not also better insulated) floor.

[@noahg4038]

I'd strongly consider the Matt Risinger approach 2-4" of EPS or even XPS foam followed by two layers of Advantech OSB (set perpendicular so that the seams don't overlap), it's an easy way to avoid any thermal bridging

[@marcberm]

@@noahg4038 The only issue there is striking a balance with thickness. The rest of the container being metal, it's only ever going to be just so well thermally insulated anyway. Building up too thick of a floor just decreases ceiling clearance in the already tight, predefined space of the shipping container.

Our issue here is that we have an environmental chamber on casters that weighs 1025 lbs. Rolling that around on a floor with any flexibility be bad, so that has limited our options for flooring quite a bit. We also have the doors setup so we could drive the tractor with a forklift attachment into here to set down a palette of something, say, maybe, batteries?

Hello

[@robertvanfleet6263]

You inspire me . Maybe jack up the center from the outside up from the open end will draw it together. Love every episode thank.

[@HighTechLab]

Glad you are enjoying!

offtopic but do you know anything about Armada25R? ruclips.net/user/Armada25R i am here because you left a comment on their discussion stating "Hey Cuz!"

[@konradstrachan]

Great to see it all coming together, looking forward to your next update :-)
