- The Shipping Container Home is OFFICIALLY ON and we're building a deck but not just any old deck...a stunning ROOF-TOP one! Go to our sponsor drinkag1.com/tylerandtodd and get 5 free travel packs and a 1 year supply of the vitamin D drops!
If you've missed the last few episodes, we decided to buy a cabin, move into it and get comfortable for the winter. It has been a LONG 4 years of self building our home and it's time we start living again...with winter finally behind us, it's time we set our sights BACK to the shipping container home and finish what we started!

How did we end up here?
It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our compact mobile abode into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we quickly realized a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. For the last two years we've lived in a Geodesic Dome, which has allowed us to be comfortable (expect for the winter months), while we realize our shipping container home dream. However, this will mark our 4th winter with stable electricity, running water, or a flushing toilet and time has come to come up with a new plan going forward.

Can you believe that the day is FINALLY here? We're officially kicking things off with the container home again. I'm sure you could tell from the video but we're pretty excited for everything that's to come...plus, having help with this process and learning from Dumpy is making it so fun. By the way, he told us he reads the comments so make sure ya'll give him lots of love and words of encouragement so so he's even more comfortable on camera in the next episode! Also - Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's watching out there ❤
This was a long time coming guys ❤❤❤I can’t believe I have been watching you this long!!😮
Thank you Dumpy for helping and teaching the guys. If you can hang with these guys a little camera should be easy. Plus think of all the mistakes you are stopping before they are made. #TeamDumpy
Congratulations!!
Can totally relate to you moving house. I'm in the middle of helping my nephew move his at the moment. So glad for you the container house is back on track. Looking forward to see how it turns out. Lots of love guys.
Love from Ontario! That is a beautiful deck!!!!!
I am probably your eldest follower. Get your air sickness bags ready. I am 72 years old and have been fallowing you since you started your dome home. You are such a great couple and to change your rentals from Air B and B's into permanent rentals demonstrates how much you care for people during this housing shortage. So good to see Charlie doing so well... Your "boys" are so cute and they have wonderful lives with you. Anyway, I'm glad that the engineers have found a solution to the stairwell. This container building has had many ups and downs, but you do roll with the punches. To me you are young boys who have worked so hard during college and as young business men. You both work so very hard on projects and refuse to give up until you're finished. Your differences complement each other! I look forward to watching your weekly programs and am somewhat lost when you take a much needed vacation. Please enjoy the ride and the deeper your love continues to grow. You're both very sweet young men!
72?! You’re only a young pup, Mike! We have a few people who comment regularly that are 102 and 103! 🤣
I am a,so 72 years old. I am so happy that this job is back on.
If we’re doing age, I’m 77, don’t know when that happened 🤣🤣, but yes , love you guys, been a fan from day one. Take care guys 🌸🏴💕
I’m 76 and love watching all the projects. Learned a lot. Have many ideas now for my home BUT I don’t have a Dumpy or a Tyler and Todd duo.
Greetings from South Texas.
I'm in the club , I am 67!
Nothing wrong with having a summer home and a winter home! One of the things I love about the land is your beautiful food gardens. I’ve been watching you since your travel days in the RV. You brought joy to me in a very dark time in my life. Love you guys…mean it!
Laughing here, not only a summer home, and a winter home, but as well, a spare. ( the dome)
I mean, the time May come when you want to remove/dismantle the dome, maybe sell it to somebody else in need.
And more space were your beautiful yard .
The privilege taken for granted by them is extraordinary.
@@praestant8 I don’t consider it privilege. They have worked hard and smart for what they have. No inherited wealth, nothing given them. There are videos in which they explain in detail how they have acquired what they have. Until I’m proven otherwise I will continue to defend them, though they don’t need that from me, they have earned that, too. 😀
@ruarifinn notice I said "privilege " not "entitlement." Privilege is not exclusive of working hard. Be that as it may, it does seem to be taken for granted even in the statements of trying to save money as thousands and tens of thousands get spent to fix a continuous stream of problems.
@@praestant8 So? What is wrong with that?? What do you expect them to do??
Dumpy is the BEST! Everyone needs a Dumpy in their life ❤️
And he is good looking too.😊👍🤠
@@Richard-me6eq both are good looking guys lol
I LOVE hearing the Maritime accent. Makes me feel like I'm back home ❤
And you were so polite to leave Dumpy’s “you can see how easy it is to get off” comment alone! I could hear Darcy pouncing on that one ;) I liked the “we’re not very good at straight things” comment 😂
He is so calm, matter-of-fact, and clearly is just what the guys needed to repair their confidence. Thanks Dumpy! 👏 👏 👏
You can tell Dumpy has knowledge and experience, glad you have him back
IM SO HAPPY THE CONTAINER HOME IS BACK ON TRACK!!!!! CROSSING MY FINGERS YOU HAVE NO MORE PROBLEMS OR SETBACKS!🤞🤞🤞🤞
US TOO!!!
Oh I’ve missed these gorgeous smiles I’m seeing here!! Tell Dumpy that he’s absolutely the best friend ever!!! Sending love to ALL of you!! ❤️💫🐶🐶🐈⬛💫❤️
The recharge was NEEDED. You guys look ready to tackle the land again. In the autumn, you looked so defeated. And that is gone.
Great to see! Pivotting is part of life, and if the land gets too much again, or winter is coming and the construction is delayed (gawd forbid), you have the relaxation of the lake to recharge.
EXACTLY!! We absolutely love the dome but make no mistake, it's 1 room without a bathroom or shower. The fact we lived in there for years still shocks me! It's a wonderful spot during this time of year for a night or two during the winter but NO thanks!
You seem so much happier today. I am equally happy for you!
So happy/relieved...can't wait for everything that is to come!
EVERYBODY Needs a DUMPY in their life!! What a gem! So good to see you boys back at it and smiling! Man that deck is gorgeous!!
Dumpy has a great laugh, you need to make him do that more often!!
TY Dumpy for your knowledge integrity and support... The boys need it to lift their confidence.... Happy Mothers Day 🥂 ❤️
You cannot know how happy I am to see you install the railing on your deck! I’m always screaming, STAY AWAY FROM THE EDGE! This old Mom is constantly on Moms duty. Love you. ❤
You two are so diplomatic as you’re describing the problem with the tower build as “miscommunication.” Nice to not throw those people under the bus. And your approach will cause you less stress than if you play the blame game. This is what class looks like. Well done.
The boys are back! You know it’s Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day! You do have fur babies.
so thrilled they are both back at the container home
i am so frigging happy the the shipping container home is back on, it was your baby, back to the garden and the path
Us too, can't tell you how much of a relief it is!
This was going to be my exact comment! Great minds think alike! 😂 I’ve been so excited about the entire “off-grid” vision T&T have! Can’t wait to see more container home vids!!!!
After all the setbacks and do-overs, isn't it amazing how something as minor as a deck that's actually built properly can be such a huge win? It's starting to come together, guys! Looking great!
It is SOOOOOOOOO good to be back on the land with you. It is great to see your hearts back in the off grid homestead goal. Take a wine break on your new deck and hear the cheers from all us fans as you renew the adventure.
One of the main things that I love about you and your content is that you never leave your audience hanging. We get to feel really satisfied every time there's a new video with a project. You start the project at the beginning of the video and we see it be complete at the end. I know it's not this way all the time, but it's just so bloody good to watch! 🥰 Love you guys!
So happy you guys found a solution for the tower. It's really awesome seeing all the progress you make every week
Such a relief...onwards and upwards!!!
When you showed the view from your new deck, I gasped with pleasure!
I’ve always believed that a home is only as beautiful as what surrounds it!
Gentleman, you have a beautiful home in the making. 💚
Sometimes all you need is a good Dumpy and the whole world gets better…..
On a serious note, the deck looks incredible! I love that shade of stain with black and with the glass it looks almost urban, so the juxtaposition with all the nature is perfection!
You guys are just an awesome representation of how two men CAN build a life together and be in love. You're showing a true partnership with how you work together on everything. I'm 58 and lost the love of my life 10 years ago. I came across you guys many years ago when you were traveling here in California. I can pop in and check on you guys and it always seems to be a such a pivotal time and I get caught up. I only wish I had you guys as role models when I was young. Stay true to yourselves and always be honest with us and each other. Congrats!
I lost the love of my life in what will be 12 yrs this coming Sept 16th at 7PM. It's been hard carrying on without that voice and love and support beside me. I still cry dry tears about it. Wet tears have been exhausted. I have zero desire to try and find a replacement. It just would not work and it would make me even more miserable.
@@DaninVa-gt9nj So sorry for your loss, I wish things were different.
So happy for you to get back into it again. Thanks Dumpy for helping our boys get back on track. I love the house at the lake, but it’s nice to see you back working on the Land again. I think you can work out a nice balance between the two properties. ❤️ (Ty, congrats on finding the lost camera!)
YAY so glad about your camera! You guys have accomplished so much this year! Amazing
SAME - I was so grossed out that I lost it!
Not the same, but I lost an earring my parents gave me 17 yrs ago before Christmas. First week of March I got into the car that needed a battery jump since that week and there it was. I can absolutely relate to the feelings of relief after months of wondering!
@@tylerandtodd and yet, there was a thing that maybe it wasn't gone gone, right? That is how I felt. Just relax and it will show up when Dobie the House Elf decides when to reshare.
Got a HUGE tip for you guys... if you don't own one, buy yourself an electric rechageable blower to use for small cleanups on decks, and even for cleaning sawdust and stuff from inside the structure... since there is not exhaust involved, it makes it so easy to to just keep one of these in your "broom closet" and whip it out to keep your decks clean. No exhaust in your face, you can keep it handy inside the house, they work so well! I even use it to dust the stone wall in my foyer. Just open the front and back door, put an exhaust fan in the back door, and I blow all the dust off that wall.
I keep My rechargeable Ryobi by the front door. It makes it so easy and fast to blow off the porch.
So glad you’re back working on the Container House! The Lake House has a great view, but the Container House has a major Tyler and Todd vibe. ❤ It’s magical🪄
With anticipation I can't wait to see the results of the container house - my feeling is that it is going to be more than functional it is going to absolutely be the "place to be". I simply can't wait to see the finished one of a kind home and with the deck almost completed you both will be able to look out on your "magic kingdom"..
I cannot wait to see what it looks like when it all comes together, it's going to be unreal!
I am looking forward to seeing you two with your friendly dogs enjoying your new deck with your cat being totally indifferent to the joy you are experiencing.
Remember, boys, it’s not the size of the deck, but what you do with it. Enjoy!
I dunno about that 😂
said with a New Zealand accent 😄
I love the container home but I’ve got to say the lake house is absolutely gorgeous too, and you’re dressing it up so beautifully. Ever heard the song” Oh Lord it’s Hard to be Humble “ it would suit Todd perfectly!
Dumpy we love you for helping our guys ❤❤❤love Eva from 🇩🇪
T&T the one with the onions in the fridge and the 20 bucks for wine and onions - love you guys ❤️
Yea! I really like the Lake House, the land and dome is where you two conquered so many projects and created such a special place. Glad to see the land again.
I loved today's episode! As much as I have enjoyed watching you transform the cabin over these past months, it makes me smile to see you back on the land. The good news from the engineer was like a visible weight off your shoulders, and you've made great progress already with completing that deck. I'm excited to see all the changes that will occur over the summer. Thanks for sharing this journey - it's entertaining and inspiring!
Omg Todd you were on a roll with the one liners on this episode, it is so funny to listen to you. Between Frumpy's hair cut and the 'double wrapping' I was in knots with you! I am so glad ye are back to the container house. I love the lake house but the homestead is where ye shine.
Sex Ed by Todd- priceless.
I am nostalgic of those videos of family life with the furry babies.
So glad to see that the dream did not die!!
Hope that you are able to keep Dumpy until the container house is fully completed!!
It's funny what we find that we are attached to. Your camera is worth way more in money than a set of spoons I thought I had lost in a move. They must have represented the life I was leaving behind, because when they turned up, I sat down and cried for a full five minutes.
Thank you, Dumpy, for raising the spirits of Tyler and Todd! You are the man!
Yay, back to normal episodes. Yasssss. Awesome
So so pleased that you didn’t give up on the land and can’t wait to see the progress of the container home, your garden, the pool etc etc ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💛
I am so super excited that Dumpy is helping you.Wish he was there from the start !!! ❤
So glad to see you guys back at "The Land". You can see it in your faces thats its your "Happy Place". So glad you finally have a person who knows what he's doing, you guys deserve a break. Congratulations on being Home. ❤
SO excited that the shipping contain house is back on track!!! I love, LOVE the lake house so much but I was so pumped to see this one finished because it is already so beautiful! The glass railings are perfect and look so pretty up there! Won't it be wonderful to sit up there sipping wine and watching the sunset?! ❤️🐾🐱🐾❤️
Your happiness and great energy is overflowing and contagious guys - so exciting that the build and your dream is back on track - so much love, effort, planning, time and creativity has gone into this from both of you. Can’t wait to see the ongoing progress.
OMG I know I am late but I have to say, thank the universe we have made it to AG1 season. AG1 season means amazing work/magic is about to happen. Especially after a good rest. Boys, human and 4 legged and of course Squirrel queen of the universe, you all are just going to thrive and this project is going to be a crazy emotional and physical rollercoaster, but now only in the best way. I am so excited for AG1 season.😊
Don't forget: IT'S IN THE BOOK BAG!
Your smiles say it all! Love the way Eddie makes sure he gets in the center so he gets lots of petting.
Awesome video, things are going great and Dumpy's chuckle makes my day! 💐💝Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there💝💐
Oh I'm so happy to see the container house being worked on, so glad you found someone that is trustworthy! Thankful for Dumpy! YAY! Yes Todd wrap it for your protection!
That deck looks SO amazing. And Dumpy is a treasure. Kinda reminds me of Mel. Just a nice, sweet, and hardworking man.
We need Mel to come back, don't we? ❤
I absolutely loved this video. Wow, just wow, to be back at the land just feels right. The best part of the video is Tyler finding his camera ❤❤❤
In my last move, I have found so many things that were packed away that I either forgotten about or had no idea where they were. It's a great thing when you find your treasures!
@@sydneywood4398it's like finding buried treasure 😀😀🙂
@@Amani1611 and Christmas when you are not expecting it!
I love Dumpy’s laugh. I’m glad you have good people to help. Can not wait to watch the container house come to life. 💜💜💜
I have followed you two since the summer of 2020. Was furloughed from my job that summer and discovered Tyler and Todd......yes, you were my first!! Have been with you ever since and look forward to Sundays
It's so good to see the container house is back on schedule
What wonderful news! A workable solution for the staircase tower. Working with a craftsman that you know and trust is the best feeling (it takes so much pressure off and you can just enjoy the experience of building). Makes me so happy to see you guys regrouped, grounded and good plans in place. Hugs to the fur babies. ❤
Your joy, at being back at the container home, is palpable ! So happy for you ❤
I enjoy watching Dumpy sharing his expertise with you boys, and by extension with all of us as well! Also, Dumpy has such a great, totally infectious laugh!
We need a Dumpy at our second home, which is on a lake too! His expertise is amazing and he is so kind. Clone him and send one our way!
Good on you both for sticking with your plan. Keep that dream alive!
Dumpy…you’re a gem! Love that you’re doing things right and being meticulous….so nice to see after some of the shoddy workmanship in previous areas! Tyler and Todd…so happy for you!
It is so lovely to see you working on the land again. Your huge investment of time, money, blood, sweat, and tears will finally come to fruition. You seem to be very happy getting back to your original dream. I do hope you will be able to keep the lake house too. It is such a peaceful and calming place. Well done, T&T. Hugs from a little old lady in Texas.
So great to see your smiles and to know you have made it thru the rough time.
Hi guys from UK… you two are so organised it’s a joy to see…. I’m so glad you found your camera Tyler…delighted your wirkjng in the container home again I just know wen it’s all done it is going to be a work of art… that deck looks amazing…love the glass with the metal railing …❤
hi!!!
So glad you have Dumpy,you can tell he’s a stand up kind of guy❤️
Dumpy is a great guy sharing his experience with you both by weatherproofing the deck & he has a cute laugh! 😆 I’m SO happy guys that the tower situation is going to be resolved so you can get on with finishing the project! 👍😁
Love you both your projects are never boring & I have followed you for a long time! 💙💙🐶🐶😻🇦🇺🍻🐨
Yay, back to the container home,yay!
Your so lucky to have each other! You could have never accomplished it all with out each other!
So happy for y'all to be back working on your shipping container house!!! That's awesome and I am delighted that y'all are making progress. Yay! that Tyler's camera was found too. Love and hugs from Lorain Ohio. ❤🥰
Dumpy is great-you’ve found a real gem!
I thought you gave up on the container home. You made me so happy that you're going to finish it but there's so much work ahead for you guys. Oh my God this should keep you going for a while. Good job our men in the woods and the lake.
let joy be unconfined ,the boys are back in the woods , I'm so happy for them.
So happy to see you guys doing your many projects, hope it all works out, your lake house would be so nice in the summer too, good luck, thanks for sharing.❤
Snaps to you both and to Dumpy! You’re all problem solvers and it’s great to have Dumpy’s expertise to draw on as well as emotionally knowing there’s someone else to bounce ideas off
Kind of amazing how much "stuff" we all accumulate! Wish we were half as organized as you guys.
Wow it warms my heart to see you back at the dome and the land I can't wait for the journey to begin again ❤
Wonderful to feel the positivity return for you two. You could feel it watching. So happy for you!
When you see it from the air, the tower completes and balances the design.
So happy for you. I can see how it’s really helped you mood to get back to the shipping container house. And wonderful that you found someone like Dumpy. I remember him from the previous decking.
Always enjoy GOOD News ... and that camera looks expensive so I can guess how happy you are to have re-discovered it. I have reached "that age" where I tend to forget where I put something unless I make sure to put it exactly where it always was. If I just put it down somewhere because I've been distracted by a phone call or the doorbell ringing ... then sometimes it is days before I "find" it ... and I usually find it because I am looking for yet another thing I've misplaced! The "joy" of aging!!!
Yessss!!!
Dumpy! Thank you for helping tyler n Todd! Lots of love from Kentucky! These guys totally make my week!
Please keep teaching ! They are super hard workers and have visions I wish I had when I was YOUNG!
Tyler & Todd - congrats! Not just on the container home but on life
I sincerely hope other young guys are watching and following in your footsteps! It hasn’t been easy - but neither is life and you both excel at everything - mistakes yes they happen but you learn from them everytime!
See ya next Sunday !
Guys I sense that u guys are more energetic now, and ready to tackle the container home.. Power to Dumpy, he is the best.. The deck looks great.. Here we go guys!!!
Tyler @ Todd it's gorgeous. I so envy your space on the land. I love it.
Hurrah. You are back at The Land. The tower is going to work out. The deck looks great. Ty found his camera. And...Todd was right twice. Wins all around.
I love how you guys work so hard, but sandwiched between easing into the day with coffee and a walk then unwinding with wine.
Wow! That looks great. And just in case anyone missed it - Todd was right!
Toddism: “We’re almost done! Not really, but still!’ 😂
The only thing I can add is so proud of you both. My brother in law was my Duffy in the 90’s. I miss him he passed last yr. He too was the best.
Sorry for your loss, John!
Watching Tyler and Todd every week, puts a smile on my face, every time.
Cheers from Down Under.
You two have the key to life - roll with it. No wonder you have such an exciting life. It's enviable. I say it every week - you two are amazing. I enjoy these videos so much.
You guys work SO hard, that every time you upload a "work" video, I need a nap afterwards!
Congratulations on being back on course with the container home. I knew you would solve all the problems you have had. You guys are definitely not quitters. The setbacks have been discouraging, but patience and perseverance always wins the day. Kudos to Dumpy for coming aboard and helping you make your dream come true. This is a case where three is NOT a crowd, but instead a great team! My heart sings as you power on! ♥
I love to see that u two never lose ur sense of humour when building❤
Absolutely wonderful!! I can see the grill, chairs, guests, and having a grand old time!!! How wonderful 💗
So happy to see you moving forward. You guys never gave up. If it were me after I got the home on the lake I’d be like…this is home now let someone else do the container. Seeing the deck come together was a real win
Wooo Hooooo! How wonderful to see you back on the land, back on track, back with the motivation and the smiles! Such a positive video this week. The Lake House has been a lovely side quest but the Land needs you. Thank goodness the engineering problems have been resolved.
Dumpy seems like just what you need - guidance along with kindness. And a sense of humour, because he is sure as heck going to need one to be working with you two!
Finding the camera is a massive bonus too. Happy days.
WOW, the deck looks amazing and Dumpy is truly the best!
I know it’s taken so much to get here, and I am so PROUD of you boys!! Todd’s positivity is uplifting and you guys can get back in your flow, yayy! Proud of Tyler’s organization and planning skillz.✌🏼😊
Yep - it's Sunday Tyler and Todd and since you have 2 fur babies 🌺 HAPPY MOTHERS Day 🌺 guys ❣️😀
