In this episode, we install the gutters on our off grid shipping container home. We're one step closer to being able to catch rainwater off of our roof! 
Развлечения
You need to keep the leaves 🍁 out of the gutter by installing a screen on top of the gutter that will only allow the water 💦 to enter the gutter.
Shipping containers have monocoque bodies. The corrugation panels (roof, sides, and back), floor, purlins, front doors, frame, and rails form an integrated structural skin Recommended Plan coulc.it/home They are strong and made to carry floor loads far in excess of what is required for typical home construction. But, when you modify them, cutting holes or penetrating members, they are weakened. Regardless of what level of modification your shipping container home design calls for, it is recommended to review with a structural engineer or architect.
He's very detailed and a perfectionist in his work... Once completed, it's all those little and big details that really make a difference between a great house and a gorgeous home...
So proud of you kids. Been watching the progress, and it is amazing! Growing up in the '50's my Grandparents lived out and had water catchment off their roof with a filtering system to the cistern/work shop building. They had to draw water via rope and pulley and carry it to the house. No indoor facilities, just an outhouse, and baths were drawn by bucket and heated up by propane in a oval stock tank in an out building. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Great job!
Awesomeness!! You are both amazing and love the love you have for each other. You are building a very happy and beautiful home. Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦
I just located your videos and love them. Although I am 69 and my husband of 50 years is 70, I wish we would have followed our natural dreams like you are doing. God bless you.
I am sooo happy for y'all...you are closer to perfection for your home...I sooo love y'all...even at 72 years old, I could dream for one of these. Y'all are my favorite vlog.....Ann from Georgia 💕 🙋
Wssup you got snap?
A quick tip on the blind rivets, if possible (like in this application, where one can see both sides of the joined work piece), put a appropriately sized flat washer on the opposite side and it will help stabilize the connection and help prevent pull out, especially with thin materials like the gutters.
Love your videos. Very down to earth natural ppl. Food for thought. I put screens all along the tops of my rain gutters. Keeps the crud flying around. Won't go into the gutters. Just plain water. Screen comes in rolls I'm thinking. Helps alot. Never have to clean your gutters. Pine needles and leaves won't clog them. Jfft thank you
I love Bear's head tilts. Every time he does that, it's just so adorable!!🥰🥰
You guys work SO well together. Can't wait to see the whole water system finished and finally working. Love your laugh, Mackenzie. SO cute!
God bless your home🙏 Everything is turning out beautifully 🏡😍
Which god
The only God :)
You are a true craftsman, got a great helper. Behind ever great man is a greater woman. Happy wife happy life. 👍👌😊🤗
NOT need be craftman ,ewery normal men can do this simple work ,i made this if want second hand have locked back and eyes blind, wery easy work do. no need smart men. or handy.
Two GOOD PEOPLE what a BEAUTIFUL ASSISTANT on the job!
Just found your channel. Can’t wait for my husband to see it! He’ll love the building aspect of it. I love watching the two of you work together. You make a good team. So sweet. So loving. So respectful to one another. So obvious you dearly love each other. I can see it in the way you look at one another. It makes my heart smile. ♥️
The gutters gives ur house a certain finished look, almost like crown molding n the house. Luv ur inner action w/ the dog! Ur so funny, & adorable!!!🤗
this is one of those RUclips rabbit hole channels that I really have no business watching but here I am waiting for the next video to drop. love the build and can't wait to see what's next.
you guys have done a FABULOUS job so far.. And I know the rest of it will look great also.. That is a sweet fur baby you have there.. Be safe when you are working and may God continue to bless you both and your little fur baby..
You two and bear are special people been with you from the start. Its been amazing... fun trip.
Can't even tell you how impressed I am by you guys' progress. I've been watching for 6 or more months now and it's just AMAZING how far you've come. Very inspiring.
Thanks for documenting you process!!
Make sure you seal the downspout that is connecting to the pipe that will go to your tanks. The reason being is the pipes will be full of water up to the height of the pipe going into the tank.
I thought you both would like this other You Tube site. Homesteadonomics. They also do water catchment, and solar, and other projects.I hope you will enjoy. Love your humor. You work so well together.
Your videos are the highlight of my week. Thanks for sharing your family's journey with us.
I think an upper gutter is necessary to eliminate splashing on low pitched roof and soaking clear story wall above roof line every time it rains
Exactly !!!
Looking good.
2 Bears from 2 channels and they both sweethearts 🐕
Can't wait to see it working.
Be safe, be good, God bless
Hey guys, it great to go back and see the older videos of the container construction, great job, cheers Clint Australia 🇦🇺
I have really enjoyed watching your journey. Thanks for sharing. The videos are really well done.
I love Bear...he is SO CUUUUTE and he loves his mommy :)
The way he tilts his head 🙂🙃
@@BaburekCo he is India, that's the reason he tilts his head.
Ya .. we don't come to see you newlyweds build ... bear channel with go pro 🤣
Do RUclips have assystance in buldin?
Always look forward to seeing my two favorite young people.
Keep up the good work.
It's looking awesome.
You guys are such a cute couple ! Renovating a house can be very stressful for a couple …. but you two are building you home from scratch without arguing, yelling, or fighting...wow !!! Can't wait for the final finish !!!
The three of y’all make a great team. Bear is the best foreman/boss/coach ever. Y’all are really doing a beautiful job. Keep up the great work. It’s progressing beautifully 👍🏽.
Use a taller ladder, you want the ladder to extend past the roof at least 3 feet. It may not be a big deal today, but when you are 82 like I am, you really need it. It is best to get in the habit now rather than later.
I love that pup. He is such a character! Can’t wait for you all to get the house completed it’s gonna look AWESOME!
You guys are AMAZING! Very inspiring seeing a couple work so well together! 🤙
Bear loves his Mom and Dad! Lovely view from the top of the container.
I enjoy the fun you two have together.
Omg you guys did such a great job on gutters! One step closer im so excited for you both!
You guys are the best in building your house i’am in Philadelphia right now visiting friends with my wife and still looking at your videos all the best Robert from Australia
You three (counting Bear :3) are so adorable. It warms my heart watching this channel. Thank you for giving all of us a view into your world.
It's just gone midnight here in Ireland and this video dropped to my inbox - beauty sleep or watch the video ?????? Watch 😎 🇮🇪
@2:35-2:53... lol. That look.
Its coming along nicely. I am really liking this design and how this is all coming together. I have plans in my head for an off-grid or mostly off grid cabin for the family similar to this. I may use much of this for inspiration (imitation is the greatest form of flattery they say) one day!
Now to find some land!!
Great job you two! We are so enjoying your dream, thank you for sharing.
I've been following for sometime now and I have say you two are doing a fantastic job! Can't wait to see the house all finished!
So glad to see you got saw horses. Hope you cover the gutter in strong screen, keep birds, bats and snakes etc… out of there.
Awesome channel and build. A couple things I may have chosen to do differently.. - used red or green snips for anything with a curved or corner cut...yellow are straight snips. Red and green are left and right. - chosing to zig zag the water flow from the top roof to the lower will point load your lower gutter at the farthest dist. From the final downspout. Probably overflow your lower gutter in heavy rainfall. Might have been better to leave the top gutter off, save money and effort and evenly dispersed the upper roof water. Just a thought.
Wow how have y'all come along. I am so glad I subscribed. And I love your dog he is such a awesome dog. I enjoy all your videos. I thank you for you both sharing your story with me and it makes me happy to hear y'all are doing soon good for yourselves as a newlywed couple. Congrats and thank you for all what y'all do.
I am so proud of you both. I wish all the best. Well done.
We love your sweet family and enjoy watching & feeling a part of your journey. Love that cutie Bear! Keep ‘me coming!
My only suggestion guys is ad a couple more down spouts, we live on a rural property with tank water and we have 2down spouts on the front roof of our house and in a heavy downpour when we’ve been through drought and tanks are almost empty I’ve sadly watched hundreds of litres of water flow over the gutters. And Mackenzie your a gun on that roof coz I can’t even climb a ladder to that height 💪🏼
Getting there .. . looking forward to the house warming, it has been a most informative build. Even the editing is so professional.. .
Bear is almost coming to be the reason I see your videos .... well... not true, but almost! He is so intelligent, the way he looks at his mom and the love he has for her, but then also one can see that he is well loved by both of you. And as I say, show me a house were the dog is treated with care and love, and I am sure it is a house of honor and love. You are one heck of a couple... or better say a trio? I really REALLY like your videos and what permeates through them to all the viewers!
Hello! I’ve been following you build your home since the beginning. Had a thought come to mind about your water collection when you said the water tanks will fill up because the tanks are below the level of the gutters, but if you want to keep the water in the tanks, you’ll need to make sure whatever pipe/gutter downspout system you use is absolutely water tight, otherwise you’ll lose water out of the bottom of your gutter connections and the tanks won’t fill up any higher than the lowest leak. Might need to consider PVC pipe and glue the joints. Great work though, been fun watching you both work together.
Cant wait till u do your interior!! ❤️ you both are awesome. Keep up the good work!!

You'll have to wait a year. We waited all week to see them put up 2 gutters.

Love your container house! Bear is so cute, especially when he tilts his head! As Bear does love his mommy!
Bear is such a Cutie-face, and it's great that he worries about you. Take care, looking forward to seeing another video from you guys. 😊❤✌
I swear I watch y’all just as much to see Bear as to see the progression of the house. Congratulations on the success thus far!
In the future, call some local gutter companies and see off they'd give you a cut and drop. I'm a carpenter, but I don't have a gutter machine, and I occasionally get gutter jobs. I've got 3 separate companies who do this for me, when I want to hang the product. The ones I use give full length pieces, ie. No seams. They cut what ever length, supply all the hangers, all the parts, and nothing has to be rivetted. Its all crimped and screwed. They even drill the holes for downspout if you're certain where they need to be. I was wondering on the choice to put gutter on the upper section, since it already drains to the lower section with gravity. You could have had this entire job done in half a day, including downspouts. Just looking to help with the headaches. Good work, keep it up.
I just wanted to let you all know that I have really enjoyed your videos. The journey has been awesome. It makes me want to do one myself. Can`t wait to see the videos to come.
LOOKING FANTASTIC folks!!!!!!!!
You guys should put some concrete or some boards and a rubber pad on the ground where the pvc pipes will rise to the top of the tank and the top of the house. That pipe will be full of water most of the time so it will have a weight of around 50lbs in a 10ft height which means the pipe will start sinking in the corners over time and might start giving you problems once it starts going down.
Just a thought.
The place is looking GREAT !! It has been a busy summer for me and have not seen your build in awhile. Fantastic job and love the color choice.
I'm really liking the marine look of the home, with the contrasting white and blue-gray metal.
The one major thing I learned from watching you from the beginning, is I'd never build a home with shipping containers. Using just one as a stand-alone cabin with no other joins, perhaps. Otherwise a steel post and beam build is the way I'd go. It's just significantly easier and more flexible to design.
You're doing a great job, and should have huge sense of accomplishment & pride when done.
Fantastic job with the gutters! Love how you guys get along so well! Bear is so a loyal campion to you !
Wonderful! Soon, full tanks! Showers! Washing Bear!
Keep up the great work, my GF and I watch with enthusiasm and excitement as you get closer to the finish, all the best from Ontario Canada
Bear’s quizzical looks into the camera are so perfect.
It is really taking shape, it's coming alongso smoothly and well.... it's looking more and more like home!!!! you guys have done a great job👍👍
You are a very harmonious couple. especially if you are blessed with a child. then perfect harmony of your life. may God always bless you.
and I'm always waiting for your videos. can't wait to see your house finished
Ok, y'all need to invite us to come help you guys build a fence for the cattle to keep away then build a nice dock there at the pond... It'll be a party! (After the power tools are put up!)
I have so much respect for what your doing. The way you work together is so cool. Reminds me of my wife and working together. In for the ride now to see how you do.
This video is why RUclips needs a LOVE button!
Looking good 👌much love from Detroit
Nice work guys 👌🏻
Awesome couple! You have made a difference in my life bringing me enjoyable content. I love watching you make progress every video!
Awesome! Sawhorses! My back feels better already.
Everything is coming together nicely.
Your house is looking awesome! What a great job, you guys are doing. Has Bear ever acted before? He's a natural.
The leaf and grit filters need to be above the top of the tanks, so that the tanks fill to 2500 gallons. There will be standing water in the pipe for a mosquito farm or ranch. Keep the bugs out.
I love all the Great work you've done.This is well done too.Some wouldn't consider overlap in the direction of flow.>You are going to need a small drum with a pump at your tanks.Period.Light rain won't have the force to drive uphill.Heavy rain can just force itself up and in when you connect the pipes to the 20-ish gallon barrel with a float activated pump.I wish it were otherwise for you 2,as everything else has gone so well.(except berry picking)...Best wishes.
*I'm SO happy yall created this channel!! Finally found a step by step guide for exactly what I'm about to "try" and do.* 🤞
I know now that this will work I watched a video that had a similar system to yours and this is great you guys will be rich with water
How is it we missed the buck naked !! Lol Sorry that's all I kept picturing after you said that!! Love you guys!! So enjoyable to watch and be inspired what hard work turns out to be. Beautiful place ♡ keep Up the great work it will all payoff!! And Bear looks like a Bear!! So cute
Guys... This is getting soooo beautiful, like all little touches you both get into the House. Excellent job guys. Keep going.
Place looks great! Fantastic job you guys!
U know what..I've been wacthing all the video since you all bough the container..in malaysia..not all people in malaysia like to live in shipping container but after watching this video..i already start save a money to build home like this..
Feel like i'm watching the first episodes of the Waltons in the making..... Love you guys for real and your fur baby Bear!
Bear Bear loves his Mom and Dad!
You two are an inspiration! My partner and I have a dream to build our own container house. LOVE watching your progress, process, and sharing in this adventure with you!
Awwww Bear is worried about mommy!
So cool, can't wait to see the gutters at work. It really is coming along, I can't wait to see your next video and also when you start working on the interior. Thanks, bye for now.
Bear is one of those amazing dogs that come once in a life time!
Greetings from 🇨🇷. I like very much your channel and what are you doing.
I am not a lover or even liker of domestic creatures, but i'll make an exception in Bear's case. He's terrific.
Thank you for your candor. Love your vlogs.
200k subscribers already!!! Really happy for you guys!
rewatching coz waiting for new video,, best Couple House maker on YT
It is a success, keep working together, keep making progress.
The gutters look great!
My only concern is having the water transfer underground...it seems like there would be a lot of it standing in there until the next rain...which would give it time to fester.
Nice Looking Home , nice Job , Well Done.
It’s looking so great, almost done with the outside xx
