This is the best video on building a container home. I'm going to build one in the back yard of a house I just got from a family member. I am so excited to do it and I'm lucky to have found this channel. It makes me feel comfortable with carpentry.
I really like how you explain the instructions
Very interesting and helpful, especially windows without welding. Thank you!
Arghh. I watched this to figure out how the window actually goes into the container (because of how you deal with the vertical ridges) and you didn't show it.. :(
You window assembly is absolutely awesome. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Been trying to figure out how I was going to do this without welding. Thank you!!
For my container shop, I welded up 1/8" 2x2 square tube frames for the windows and man door. I stitch welded it into the container wall just proud of the side wall by about 1/4". Then I caulked the frame inside and out with paintable polyurethane caulk. I made the frames just about an 1/8" larger than the window frame and just installed it using self tapping screws. The flanges for the windows were on the inside part, so the flange and screws were covered on the inside with trim. The outside just had one seam between the window and frame that needed caulking, there was no trim needed on the outside. I also drilled 3/8" holes in the back side of the window frames to inject foam from the cans.
Is there another no welding window installation video?
Got 20ft one tripper being delivered tomorrow.
Cant wait to get started
Where do you find that aluminum cladding? What is that called?
You didn't show how you installed wooden window frame into actual cut out wall.
Great video, thanks for the info! wCould you please share the name of or where you source the 3" Aluminum Cladding?
Amazing video series, thank you for doing this!
Question? Can you help me understand why you didn't make the rough-in window frame dimensions so that the fin could be tacked to the exterior without the plywood spacers? It seems like that would be necessary for the structural integrity of the impact-rated windows (when flying debris hits the window, forcing it inward). Was it due to the plan to clad the frame with that aluminum?
I like the look of the metal skin on top of the 2x4s. If moisture some how gets in there, wouldn't the metal sheathing keep the moisture inside and possibly promote mold or rot?
Don't miter the bottom aluminum cladding and top of each side
Let the top piece miter overlap the sides and sides overlap the bottom.
No chance of water getting in .
It's like a shingle overlap.
I hope I explained it well enough.
Still caulk as you explained.
I install remodel windows and you are guaranteed not to leak if caulking ever cracks .
What cladding do you use? Can you post a link to buy it?
BTW!! By far one of the best videos on container construction. I'm the construction trade that doesn't involve interior construction... I have seen a lot of interior work in custom, production and tenant improvements... I try to apply those methods to my design. I like your approach in explaining potential costly mistakes, believe me I have already crumbled my design concept and tossed in trash. The project I am working on is an off-grid hunting cabin. Many videos on youtube show inefficient procedures and don't get to the point quickly.. Okay I get the interior and window installation now. I have additional questions and have no idea if that's a present or future video. Question #1- Do you or will you install an entry door? if so, is that another cut-out like the windows or will you frame and install entry door allowing enough room for double doors to close? Question #2- I am looking at using prefab trusses for roof and corrugated tin for roof and water catchment as well as solar paneling. What type of bracket or angle iron to secure trusses as well as method of installation would you use? Bolt-in or welded?
Yes, just like Trevor I too am curious about future buckling if your not welding steel tubing or angle iron to reinforce the window openings.
you're
Where can I find the aluminum cladding you mention?
Question: doesn't the lack of reinforcement in the container wall now that you've cut the hole out leave the container structurally weak? Basically you've eliminated the I-beam concept of the container wall. Is this structural integrity restored by the wood framing within the container? I'm curious if this leaves the wall open to buckling?
So we specifically only removed small sections not removing from floor to ceiling but essentially only a square out of a huge wall, when we reinforced it with the double 2x4 frame to just keep the window in place and it likely adds minimum support. Obviously the more you remove the more you reduce the integrity of the container this is why we didn’t cut out the entire side and do a huge glass wall like you see others do. You would never be able to move that without adding additional bracing after removing that much of the side wall. So virtually we did little wholes that keep the integrity, as much as we were confident would be ok without additional bracing. We also did not cut any of the structural steel components, only wholes through the corrugated panels. Hard to explain, hope that makes sense...
@@ContainingLuxury Absolutely makes sense. Small holes, keeping a portion of the "i-beam" idea in tact. Thanks for the response! I'm up in St. Pete, would love to come down and see one of these in person one day!
@@trevormartin698the wall panels are not load bearing members. They are there to protect cargo only. They are not designed to act as load bearing members. So cutting them out will not reduce overall structural integrity. It might flex but no issues with structure. Not sure what the I beam concept is. The corrugated a are there to provide enough strength to protect cargo, basically by increasing the section modulus of the sheet.
So much for the Milwaukee sponsor ship
If you love Dewalt so much why did you buy a set of the Milwaukee ?
Where can I get the aluminum and what is it called.
The"Hart"power tools at Wal-Mart use the same manufacturer as Milwaukee tools.
Nowhere's near the same quality. Just because it's the same factory or the same parent company doesn't mean the tools are the same.
Just discovered this channel and can't wait to watch more, but these aluminum frames look pretty chintzy and then need to be filed down? And then will be sealed with poly? MIG welding is so simple; it's like using a caulk gun.
Another question on insulation. If your interior construction prevent the cooling from getting to the metal outside walls, why can't you use Bat insulation in the same manor as standard wood framed homes?
Wall will sweat from the outside in and the batt insulation will absorb that moisture trapping between the wall and insulation. Spray foam is best

How long does it take you to build one complete home?
What part of Florida are you from?
This was “virtually” an overkill.
I'm watching and asking a ton of questions and next thing I know you're answering the questions. Are you psychic or is it just me?
I use both Dewalt and Milwaukee as well both have standout tools (I’m in love with my Dewalt track saw for example) and no question the Milwaukee m18 framing nailer blows that Dewalt one away. The first tool review on this video shows its capability (their gen one nailers kinda sucked, this gen2 stuff is awesome) ruclips.net/video/A3h9I_zutAM/видео.html
Came here to say the same thing. The Milwaukee stuff tends to be higher end and their batteries last a lot longer in my experience. Not all of the tools but a large majority of them.
I swear this guy is makes the best videos for container building but keeps leaving out tons of important details. So aggravating. How does the window actually get framed into the container? What screws is he using? Just show us the details for crying out loud.
Inspectorzinn2 stay tuned we have a better way now ... but it screws into the metal or wood framing on the inside
@@ContainingLuxury Can you post a link to the cladding you are using? I cannot find it anywhere
I would of sandwiched plywood between 2 X's.. just me
Why? That makes absolutely no sense. Definitely not needed
Don't compare brushed milwaukee tools to 60v brushless dewalt commercial gc myself and most of my company has switched to milwaukee because he DeWalts don't hold up
Milwaukee makes awesome tools for mechanic work and plumbing. They don't stand a candle to DeWalt when it comes to doing carpentry. Different tools for different jobs Bud educate yourself
making it way too complicated
Exactly
You should miter 2"x2" steel tubing and 110 volt mig weld it in the window opening, If you cant do this then there are mobile welding services that can do this for a reasonable price. I do not like your approach, Im a 32 year mechanical engineer, I forsee problems far into the future with this design your using.
