Wow! You did a fabulous job! With you, if you can hire her out the drywall energy, definitely do it. I had to do a lot of drywall after hurricane Sandy. There was nobody around to hire because their houses got damaged also. Wound up coming out great but it was a horrible job. Lol good luck to you!
Inflation doesn't reverse. You did a much better job than A LIFE UNCONTAINED jokers who have taken over 3 years to build their "OF GRID CABIN". I think you're real and they are a work, like that one youtube who did the Van Life think and it turned out she was connected with RUclips Execs. Awesome Home
@@rodsdiy9631 I appreciate your compliments 👍
Where did you source your shipping containers?
@@Pharaohscrown back in 2019. I got them from a guy who owned an 18 wheeler delivery shipping business. He used containers to transport goods and naturally had a bunch of spare containers laying around which he sold as a side thing
This is the first home build Ive ever seen that doesn't hide anything and actually lets you know what it is and how much. Bravo man.
🙂👍
Yes. Years of click bait has me jaded until I saw this. Nice 😊
Nice job bud
Having lil trouble trying pull down to save what I doing wrong
Thanks again and what a job you did
Awesome
Great job, love this
For 80K, I would be *extremely* thankful to just have a home and not have a ton of mortgage debt.
You managed to buy a house for hundreds of thousands of dollars less than what everyone else around you has paid.
and now because you built the house, you're also going to save thousands of dollars on future home maintenance because you know how to repair it.
Good on you!
You're an example for everyone, in my opinion!
I'm certainly happy with the final cost. It came out to more than I guesstimated early on, but I'm still happy and you're right: it was within the budget of my savings and thus I didn't have to take out a mortgage that would've added $150,000 extra on top or more?
Agreed
And don’t forget the land now bought added in the cost as well!! That’s an excellent spend!!!
Need help
My goal was to use 100k. I'm so down to go along this route
FINALLY.. someone who doesn't beat around the bush.! Like how you laid it out, kept it simple but Informative. Bravo.! Thank you for sharing, and it turned out Beautiful, in my opinion.
Cool 👍
Check out "Life Uncontained" this couple did the same thing
The best part is that you can easily upgrade it! Whenever you saved up enough money you can put another floor on top of it or attach one or two more containers by its side!
For anyone thinking of doing this. Just know that when it’s yours, your build, and your ideas. It becomes more than just a home. It becomes a part of you. Because you had a lot to do with this creation that went from an idea, to something that is now physically there. The feeling is something you can’t describe. It’s amazing
Ultimately, you have saved yourself thousands over the life of your home by doing the work yourself. Not only will you be able to repair/maintain the property, but also you building this for yourself you probably have a higher quality build. Having it built by a company you have no control over the quality of the work. By building it for yourself I'm certain that you took the time to do things right and not cut corners to hit some kind of deadline. Having that kind of security in knowing things were done right is absolutely priceless!
This is why I started watching this video and got the idea to go mortgage free but some of these channels get you deterred from your original plan by spending a half a million or more on there container home like what’s the point . You suppose to be saving not paying more but you got me back on track sir thank you!!!
Lol yeah.
As a dude who's looking to buy his way to freedom starting with a mostly self sufficient tiny home, just the numbers and scale of this provides so much information man wow. Thank you for the time you put in this.
me 2 what state is this in
It's in FL
Just purchased our land and this is exactly what we were planning to do! It's a blessing to watch your video breakdown. We are still trying to decide how many containers we want to go with. Have seen so many designs, but your 3D models are outstanding. Might need to get some ideas and a 3D model for us. Thanks for the wonderful information!
What state? I just bought a 5 acre plot in FL that has two shipping containers on it I want to do up!
Fact! I'd like to build some kind of "castle" if you will with these!
@@shannondelima3028What area did you buy your property? I'm in Florida also.
@@snookwestwest2298 I'm in Vero beach, you?
@shannondelima3028 I'm in Land O Lakes. I'm 30 minutes north of Tampa.
In a sea of RUclips excess. This guy does a great job of being authentic. Super nice and informative...
ok 👍
That's a nice overall price. There are A LOT of general contractors and builders online that are quoting around $50,000 for 1 40ft HQ container build which I thought seemed a bit outrageous. One guy told me it's $4000 for the kitchen alone. Just good to see someone with some reasonable numbers for a project like this.
They are quoting labor and materials that's why it's so much
Uh, that's because you're paying them to do it for you, rather than doing it yourself
@@austindiaz6767 Sure right. A DIY build that cost $8-$10K will cost them $85K or MORE. Must be some hell of a labor and gold plated materials.
@@GlorifiedGremlin Uuuhhh, one must be footing the bill for the KY Gel too because that's what their prices will get you.
@@marcus_b1 Well yeah, we all know that contractors are always trying to make more money off of their clients. Kinda like how it's just common knowledge that you don't let your wife take your car to the mechanic, or she'll come home with a $1500 bill 😂
I may have missed some aspects that seemed to be missing in your breakdown. In Australia, all container homes must be on a full concrete pad. They must also be fully insulated as shipping containers are freezing in winter and hot in summer. Connection to water, electricity, gas, and sewage must be carried out by licensed trades people. All plans must be submitted to the shire council. There must also be hardwired smoke alarms, exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen, and any other safety requirements met in the area you want to place the structure.
You should be really proud man, not just cos of your amazing house build, but also for being so far ahead of the curve mentally than most people.
Thanks 👍
I'm a framer / roofer by trade. I'm starting on my traditional home in spring. Lucky me I basically received all the lumber /shingles, nails and even electrical wire for free. Only took 4 years of taking scrap off job site's.
Lucky you indeed 🙂👍
One piece at a time! ruclips.net/video/d1i7YqD5MGg/видео.html
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer May I ask where you are located,?Would you be interested in aquiring 6 empty 45ft containers with wheels, for free?You would have act quick,they are located in the northeast,near a major highway.It might be worth transporting them,or you could buy a acre of rural land maybe 2 hours away,might be cheaper.You did a great job.Wish I could have one,my father left 3 acres,that is empty,only has a few apple trees and goats from a neighbor grazing.Take care,God Bless🕯️🙏🕊️
@@---Avalon---Sky--- I will take them!
@@isamsaba8098 Hi I think they are gone. Sorry about that.🕊️🙏🕯️
Just came across your channel. All I can say is THANK YOU tremendously for sharing actual real world prices with us. So many channels just get people to watch their beautiful house videos n then act super secretive 🤫🤫 about the price 🤨 Either people can afford it or not but at least you let us see the financial truth of it. 👍🏽
Bro, the world needs this information. So many people want to do this, but don't know how to do it. Continue the educate, it's appreciated.
Thanks! I really appreciate your overview. No bs, no gimmicks, just straight to the point and informative!
👍
This was extremely informative and transparent! Thank you!
This dude is the man. He’s so exact in his calculations. This man wasn’t joking around with this
This is a great intro video for anybody interested in container homes. Taking us through the layers and cost steps helps us to envision. I would have to outsource the labour but in the U.K. slightly smaller, probably looking around the same expense. Gonna keep note of your email.
When the universe whispers in your ear, you would do well to listen... and you certainly did that
You did a fantastic job...well done sir
Nice words, thanks
That house is amazing and the budget is actually super good. I wish i could do something like that.
Thanks 👍
This is my first time seeing your channel, you are a very smart man . Gain a lot of knowledge from this , I have been researching container homes for years now and this is by far the best information I have gotten, keep up the good work man , and enjoy every second living in your new home , you’ve earned it indeed . Peace be upon your property.
👍
This video is amazing, and very easy to watch and listen to. You’ve created an awesome home! We did two construction projects ( a new construction entry Foyer and a major renovation of a detached 2000 sf garage) during 2021. We came in just over your total for both projects. The lumber price increase was RIDICULOUS! Even after lumber production started again the prices didn’t fall.
I’m excited to see how the house performs in the future and also what you’ll do next!
Thanks and cool info about your own build
Generally that's how it works car prices are never gonna fall again even a depression
You built yourself a beautiful home, that if you needed to later you can expand. Absolute genius. Excellent job.
It would be interesting if I ever end up expanding my house with another container, how I would go about placing it etc.
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer I am sure you will come up with something just as good.
once folks get rid of the MORTGAGE then the real living begins...
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer Given the layout I'd probably put a small spiral staircase in one of the corners by the doors and then add 2-3 containers on top, maybe with some kind of secondary access point on the outside to bring furniture in etc. I'm sure the foundation could support that no problem. Then I might pop out the roof in part of the upstairs for additional headroom and light.
@@debunkinghistory214 it's a good question. I was thinking yesterday that one additional 40 foot container on top of the back container would look weird....but then. I thought if I made the rest of the roof surface a large deck with rails....could make that 4th container on top look more balanced
Fantastic story and vid. Job well done, bud. For a very attractive price, you have a home totally paid for, it's literally bullet proof and incredibly solid. It's the design you wanted, and maintenance should be quite low. Bonus- you're taking the time to help others with the skills and knowledge that only come from OJT. I tip my hat to you, young man.
You have small bullets :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS! This is exactly the vid I've been looking for. Hopefully in the next year, I'll be starting on my first container home.
Great job keeping track of even the small costs. Thank you for this video.
🙂👍
I’m really glad that I clicked on your video. We are considering building my husband a shop using shipping containers. I’ll shoot you a message and email. We are building a new home, horse barn, pool , pool house and a separate guest house. I’m looking forward to seeing this 3D program at work.
Ok 🙂
I think you did an amazing job, and 81k+ is a wonderful price, I'm so impressed, You chose the right time, with amazing plan. Best of luck with the gardens, and the animals, you could have a radical orchard as well.
At any rate it’s still less than a new build or an existing home cost. This is very insightful for me. I am looking for land right now, and have considered doing the shipping container or prefab or Hemp Crete process. Finding a dedicated construction crew would be the hardest part. Thanks for the rundown!❤ I’ll be watching to see what is next.
You earned my respect when speaking the truth: circus! Wonderful home you have built, hats off to you! Greetings from Hungary!
Thanks 👍
Maybe you should travel at the buyers expense to do their container homes ? I definitely love the idea. You did an A-mazing job ! 👏🏻
I love this! You had a very valid point because you brought your vision to life you know what it takes to sustain it. Congratulations
I most definitely subscribed…finally someone who kept it real and very transparent..really appreciate you for that…thank you so much..great home great build
You've inspired me to follow the path. The first step is to find the land. Oh, and do more of the deep-dive research. Thanks for sharing a realistic view of the construction of a container home.
I remembered when you first started! Amazing job! Looks beautiful. Now you have the experience to even coach!
👍
GREAT F’N VIDEO!! I love the transparency and truth contained in your video. My Wife and I have watched since the first video. Congratulations and we will be looking for more videos!!
Thanks a lot
Great work on the whole project. Plain grey or flat black, I can't tell what color you painted the outside. Either way, I'm liking the earth tones. You are right about the value in learning new skills. It helps you do more in life. Because once you know... you know.
🙂👍
When I was twenty I took a job building house's for a construction company I worked that job for a year then went back to doing what I do I'm sixty now an when I'm over covid I will put those skills to work again
I built a deck late 2019 early 2020 and lumber was already super high. I didn't pay $6 per 2x4 but I did pay over $5 each. Wood has been high for some time now. But you got super prices for those containers and for that beautiful lot.
Excellent work Bro!! The specifications of the costs with the land are good, hard work more worth it. Good luck and keep up the projects
Nice presentation. Really liked the honest detail of cost broken down for everything and your marketing strategy for your services. Best of luck to you with all your animals and your Hampstead💕🌸
I haven't seen one of your videos in years I look up the cost of shipping container homes and you were the first person on the feed
Lucky you
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer do you have a channel where you talk about redpill stuff
@@stevesly7954 yeah it's on Odyssey
Though brace yourself cuz my content these days is quite extreme lol
Congratulations! I'm really happy for you man. Been following you since your RedPill channel. Great build! Looking forward to the next steps in your homestead journey.
Thanks a lot. 😉😉👍
It really is incredible to see what you've accomplished here, and in such little time! It all looks fantastic xxX ❤️ Xxx
thanks :)
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer it also sounds like you've made a very good investment!
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer as a remodeler, I have found that Home Depot has much higher prices for ALL materials that you displayed than Menards. and the quality is the same or better!!!! but good job on the build!!!
@@lionelhowell4972 I got the back staircase rails from Menards. I did like a lot of the prices I saw on Menards but the problem is they are located so far from me that shipping costs often made it not cost effective. I'm sure there are wholesale sources for materials that professional builders use that even beat Home Depot bit sometimes they require business licenses etc
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer that was my other assumption that maybe there was one, but just too far away adding in fuel cost. here in MN, they have 2 stores that are called Habitat for Humanity Re-use centers that sell everything for homes. new and used materials donated by remodelers, and construction companies from lumber to appliances at unbelievable prices that cannot be beaten anywhere. I know it is irrelevant to your build, but just a thought.. if others are reading your posts they should always look for alternative inventory in other places also like you did to keep costs down even more..
Thanks for sharing your experience building your container home! I can’t wait to build mine.
🙂👍
Think im gonna do this. Already have land so it should be cheaper. I would love to build a community. This is wonderful.
GREAT JOB! Beautiful home - so happy for you!
So happy for you!!! No mortgage and you can grow food year round! The fruits are going to be epic!!
🙂👍
Right now at H.D. 2x4 cost $8.25 and 3/4 subfloor plywood is $85.00... crazy!
This is the cost in Buffalo, NY
Thanks for sharing. Im in N Z and what you've shown is gonna help many to use and build like yours. Cheers
Great video, I wish I lived somewhere that would facilitate building a house on this type of foundation, unfortunately with the weather we have in the northern Midwest we are too cold for this. My wife and I are looking at building a steel post frame shop/house on a geothermal slab. Looking forward to possibly creating a RUclips series on it.
Again, love the breakdown on costs!
Did you consider structural steel for the interior framing? That's running about 60% less than dimensional lumber in some parts of North America. That's the only question I had. Thanks for a great video. Very informative.
I did. I believe when I was getting the plans for the home made in 2019 I saw lumber and metal framing was about the same price. So I went with lumber. Did not end up ordering lumber until 2021....
I thought about that too
100% true and more solid.Only bad thing about it is treating the steel with anti rust corrosion so the steel can stay intact for years to come ,but still a great job well done .
@@madizm05..how can we get info on anti-rust corrosion treatment?
Ty, ty, ty, Finally someone answering the question we ALL want to know. How much is it, lol. Sick of these videos that don’t give price.
Thanks for your honesty. A lot of people lack this. You did a good job. I am interested in owning a container home.
I'd love a container home yet found sites selling them for 10 k then finding a peice of land to rent it of and planning permission
Thank you for this breakdown of your experience, most helpful video yet!
Thanks a lot
Great video...great editing...no bullshit...straight to the point...very informative...good job bro !
🙂👍
really inspirational getting the American dream for a fraction of the cost because you worked hard
Awesome video! Really cool build and super stoked for you to complete that project! looks great!
credit where credit's due
It was for sure a wild ride. Keep the vids coming. The best is yet to come!
Thanks
Damn fine job.
Ya' done good. You should be rightfully proud of your accomplishment.
Very nice of you to document the journey for all of us and for $$ breakdown.
Thanks
Information to get to you
"bizarre silly circus" 😂 Thank you so much for this video & the transparency!
My man that's awesome that's really cool I'm looking to see the inside of it just from what you showed to look nice you are so right thinking outside the box is awesome and you have your own piece of land awesome job awesome presentation very interested in finding out more I'll do my research thanks again enjoy it
Great video!! well done man, this gives me a lot of insight for my family and I. I'm wanting to do the same thing, find a nice piece of land and make our mark on it.
Absolutely fantastic, I wish I could do something like that in the UK, but it's so expensive to buy land alone, looking forward to more vids, 👍
👍
Even with inflation on prices that still isn’t a bad price for a BEAUTIFUL HOME!!! That’s PAID for!, no mortgage, rent anything!….it’s awesome man!
The end project is awesome. Even with inflated prices, you still have an excellent investment.
👍
I live in commifornia. None of this is possible where I live. Zoning laws, building permits, inspections, utilities, property tax. Everybody wants a piece.
Man, I have not seen you on RUclips in years since your classic viral video. Good to see you are still going strong.
🙂👍
Very good job building your home that would never burn to the ground, nor can lift up by a hurricane (if welded on the concrete plates).
Thanks for the update!! You did an awesome job
I appreciate it.
I'm so so proud of you my brother..you don't know how much your work has been a great inspiration for us..been following from day one and yes if you did it..I can still do it..thanks ❤️
👍
Keep it up brother u doing a great job!! 🥃🍺🥃🍺🥃🍺🍺🥃🍺🍺🥃🍺🥃
@@rickyrivera3504 thanks
This is actually a amazing and informative video on RUclips! Found this by accident but I’m subbed now man!!
Like how you led with the numbers first. I’m gonna keep watching just because of that 👍🏽
Ok
Howdy, you did a great job man you place is really nice. It feels good knowing you did everything yourself and like you said if something goes wrong you know exactly where everything is.
True 🙂👍
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer I looked into getting a couple to put on my property for storage. How do they hold up with moisture? If you know, I know you tore them apart to build for your house.
@@ARTWV I spray foamed mine so I'm not concerned about condensation on the container steel, if that's what you're referring to
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer You won’t have any problems. Your house will be standing in 100 years without those problems. I’m wondering about a container without anything done to it if I would have moisture problems if I use it for storage.
Great Job ■ wonderful home design; built to last
It looks great. I'm looking at my options for less expensive housing. Shipping container homes or shed to house are the ones I'm mostly looking into.
Just found this channel. Remember this guy from another I subbed too, but hadn't seen any vids from him in quite a long time. Glad to see he's still seeing things (like alternative living models) much the same as me! Good job on the home, congrats!
Thanks. The old channel can still be found on Odysee
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer Don't inhabit Odysee that much (maybe I should), but thanks!
I'm remember your old channels . Much love ❤
🙂
I think you did very good job I’d really like to try this right now I’m looking for land and the price for everything I think was well worth it
Cool 👍
I enjoyed watching your work and how you explained everything. Congratulations!
You should consider being a builder/ contractor. Awesome.
Thank you for sharing, the home is absolutely awesome!!!
The thing is, generally speaking, once cost prices go up, they don’t go back down.
We'll see
Lumber came back down for a spell but went back up due to Biden blaming everything on something in Europe. In my area it came back down cause demand went down.
Awesome dude, Americans are gonna have to learn to become more self reliant again if things keep going the way they are.
In the end, no mortgage... priceless!!
$100,000 more in the interest alone? $200,000? Easily these days.
Very precise,easy to understand,so transparent and honest video,thank you,greetings from thousands of kms away
Man I gotta get one of these for real for real!
🙂
below $100k! This is done excellent!!👍👍
Like that you’ve realistically planned out to just one-story building. And make it worth the build. Awesome job sir!
two story container boxes just snowballs cost. 🤮 seen plenty of guys that go way over budget because of that.
So happy for you
EXCELLENT
All of your foresight, planning, labor, dreaming has grown fruits you will enjoy endlessly
Very inspiring!
Thank you
Congratulations man, that’s what I am going to attempt to do hopefully soon, thank you for sharing this!!
To save room for walls. Get steel studs and turn them sideways.
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched, so I apologize of you’ve already discussed this…but how difficult was it to get local permitting for this type of construction?
Not hard in my county because they already allowed shipping container homes here. I still had to get engineered plans and a PE stamp
Great video. I can't wait to see the next video. This one showed up first so I am now going to watch the "Container Home Complete" video now.
Cool
Hello hope all is well. Nice work.. Love how everything came together. I wanted to ask, with cutting the containers, this has to change the structural strength I imagine, why did you choose wood framing over steel reinforcement? I know Steel is more expensive but to reinforce that strength won't steel be more beneficial?
Hi, when you say cutting the steel, do you mean where I cut out the openings for windows and doors, or do you mean where I cut down the steel walls to open up the floor space within the house?
He used an I-beam at the center I think
@@NeverGiveup-go7og okay thanks for the reply.. Trying to gather as much information as possible. Much Appreciated. Be safe.
This looks like Florida? I'm about to move there and do the same thing is there any advice ? Do I have to have special permits to build this on my land?
This is exactly what my husband and I are going to do. We’ve just bought some land and we’re going to buy containers because we’re moving so those containers will be coming home we’re talking six containers that’s gonna be pretty big but yeah I love this idea I’ve always had this idea for years and years and now it’s going to happen and yes me and chickens and my fruit and veg garden is also happening self-contained take care of my kids and have enough food so we can be self-sufficient and that’s what life is now I understand a lot of people want to buy land were there from but some of us have to move countries and have a better quality of life and the UK is definitely not the place for us anymore. Yeah great thank you so much for the information its absolutely crucial on how we want to start our first container build and will help us a lot on our journey . Take care I’ll be watching. Can’t wait to watch what you make next ? Hope it’s a chicken coop or easy just buying one ? Or the next best thing all the bits of wood left over from the build could also build you a coop ? Take care of those bears ? We are off to South Africa so we’ll definitely have other guests trying to visit our chicken coop 😅who knows it could be naughty monkeys they love to get into the house and just rob you blind ? 😊. Good luck thanks again and I’ll be waiting for the next adventure.👍🏼✝️✌🏻
You have given yourself a tremendous advantage. Well done young man💪
When you positioned the 3 containers side by side, how did you keep them connected. Did you weld the 3 units together? How did you connect each container on the inside once you cut out the walls? I guess my concern is the sealing up part between the 3 containers?
That's a whole extensive topic in and of itself.... probably too complex to explain in a comment
@@thinkoutsidethecontainer you have a way to contact you by email?
@@johnathanfarrar7849 yes, you can see my email in this video's description
