Glad to see someone constructing with containers in a logical way (instead of welding 3 together, or cutting out full side for the most expensive bay window)
I bought a 40' HC one-trip. The extra one foot of head room is awesome. The paint they use on the exterior will dissolve with goo gone or similar solvents, which I found out when attempting to remove painter's tape residue. Point being is I don't think it's the most durable paint, so damaging the paint with the heat gun when removing stickers is understandable. Another approach to removing stickers might be to try a pressure washer.
I have mine situated on the corner of my workshop property in my small rural town. I welded 1-5/8" top-rail horizontally on stand-offs onto the side of the container for roller tracks for a 20' long x 6' tall rolling gate that goes across the driveway. I love the versatility of these boxes.
I'm getting ready to build one of these for my niece, she's going to a senior in High School back home in Missouri this year and she's coming down here to Texas go to Sam Houston State for college. The only diffrence is her walls are going to be wood floor overlaying, mainly because I got a really good deal on it, a buddy and his wife bought a pallet of it for a home project and only used a little over half the pallet so I just bought the rest from them on the cheap, and we'll just paint it.
Cool story bro

11:28 - wouldn't you want the PVC to stick out below the subfloor there so you don't get your subfloor soaked with piss!?
Plot twist, this is R. Kelly's long lost brother...
Id keep those metal pieces you cut out and use them as window security shutters you can close when you're not using it and put a lock on the metal door you can't use bolt cutters on so you don't come back after a few months to a ransacked cabin. Also putting your mattress on a hinged board on that frame would give you extra space for storage. Drawers would also be nice but more complicated and they need room to pull out.
I have thought about doing widow covers with cut outs in my tiny house, but have never had a reason to do it. I did cut a 8 inch circle in one window cutout to use for a peek hole. My drawers are four nesting filing boxes that can be seating or stacked four high. I built a couch that is a few inches shorter than the width so it can fit on the end or a side. The couch can open up to a full size bed. My entry is a sliding patio door at the end under the sliding porch roof to regulate seasonal light. When the two end doors are closed the place is pretty secure. standing at the entry there are now windows on the right side and two six foot long clearstory windows on the left side. The light is amazing. The quickest way to break into a tiny house is not with bold cutters. It only takes a 20 volt side grinder and about ten minutes to cut through the side wall get inside.
A sand blaster is what you need for those stubborn stickers. Great video. Thanks.
Unless codebeating requires a 20-footer the 40' High Cubes have MUCH more usable interior height and space. For example I'm 6'2" and can walk beneath my shelves (which hang from the interior roof tiedown loops designed to take thousands of lbs). I have four HCs (two joined as machine/welding shop space and two separate with doors on both ends. All have power and light. For those who don't have extra space on their home service adding a power pole with an outdoor service panel and outdoor 240v and 120v outlets before you build gets all the site power you'll need so I did.
Either way the best grade to use is a "one trip" (effectively new) grade container rather than the storage grade (means condemned for maritime freight use) containers which frequently have annoying damage and corrosion (Corten does corrode). I found out the rubber roof coating popular for mobile homes forms a water-retaining "scab" over the roof promoting corrosion and had absolutely NO fun grinding it off with a cupped knotted wheel wire brush on my 9" angle grinder. I then used industrial roof coating (nothing from chain stores) to recoat. Had I used one-trip containers (this was on two 40-footers welded together side-by-side) I would have suffered much less. Anyone wanting to recoat can rent a mobile air compressor and sand blaster if they don't have similar.
This is pretty cool... and also pretty dang (pardon my French) hilarious in parts.
@4:54 ive helped with about 50 of these, started with a quickie saw, then discovered this thing called a plasma torch
Awesome build! Get yourself a Diablo cut off disc. World of different
I gave your video a like, even though it looks like you're dangerous in how you work and sketchy-scary when it comes to the welding. 😃 I appreciate you sharing your adventures in making these containers functional and livable.
It's this type of person that gets shet done, hall monitors don't go anywhere 😂
Beautiful work!
Id try goo gone for the stickers you can't peel next time. Can also do a compost toilet esp if it's just for hunting. So far love the build 🎉
You have an excellent sense of humor! 😅
Your production values are awesome! 🤠
Nice video, Thank you for sharing, I had to look up those quotes from the movie "Tin Cup"....have a good week !
I like your style!
Thanks for sharing
Sweet build, my friend!!! Can’t wait to see the finished product!!! Until your next video and beyond, God bless and best wishes. Chuck Knight from Atascocita, Texas. ✝️🎣👨🌾🦌🙏
you caught my attencion with your work ethic best wishes and subscribed
This is badass. Gives me great vibes
Looking good so far.
Интересный проект. За место площадки можно построить 2 этаж.
Super cool idea man. 👍
Good job.
A dry toilet would have been nice too... You know, you get the added bonus of going number two also...
Love the extra metal door, i geuss its made fore security purpose.
Or maybe in summer to leave your main door open with out people being able to run in.
Not cheap or efficient, the Philippines has solved the container home issue,they buy the frame, bolt it together on site, they put new wood floor, than 4 inch foam filled aluminium panels screwed top and bottom in a channel these are sold complete erected on your site for $2500
hard to compare value because labour is so cheap in the P.I., but I like the idea of buying just the structural frame :)
Any videos of this

That not the idea this video is showcasing, though. This is a guy building a container home because he likes to and is using it for his own use. He’s definitely not suggesting this is the cheapest or most efficient build.
@@Praise___YaHprot nonsense. Turn to the one true church, Catholicism.
Good vid. Nice and clean.
Cool video, thanks for sharing!
very good job , nice work
Wow 😲 beautiful ❤️😍 dude 👏👏👍👍🫶!!!
Enclose that stairwell, frame up a woodframed A Frame loft bedroom with a private access balcony on top of the containeruse corrogated metal for the roof panels to keep with the metal container theme
I need this 😊
Looks fine to me.
And a trailer doesn’t?! First thing to blow over in a Florida breeze is the trailers
use a 6 foot ladder to use as an extra set of hands when lifting the 6by6 . I did that for one that was 12ft for a swing set I put together myself.
46 mistakes to learn from about building your own "container home"!
Other than that - - - a fun video!
I was expecting thicker metal, it's really thin!
Great job on the video man really cool shit
Your video is hilarious, but good info!
If you want permanent lights, build a small 12v solar set up and a E26 12v light bulb 💡 that screws into any standard light bulb socket, you can use any standard AC switch with this set up, the simple 12v solar set up will power a 12v TV also if that's all you need, the 12v set up will also run a 12v pump as well if you want to run your rain water on tap. I have videos on building 12v pumps that work great with float valve applications, I also have some videos on solar as well, you can protect your cabin by having lights go on at different times with a 12v neotech timer, I have a video on how to set up if interested.
Dumb question, but could you put a diagonal brace from the top far point of the staircase to the lower corner of the container?
Nifty.
Cool👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I would have put the 😮wiring behind the wall
Are you including a rain catchment system, my dog distracted me so I may have missed that part about it & the awning? Thanks for this video& some great ideas!!
50 bucks, love the Story,,,
10:38 Gravity isn't working against you since it doesn't exist. Density, however is working against you since the plywood is denser than the air (aether).
2:21 that's an acute angle broseph

You might consider flipping some of the deck boards over so that when they crown the water runs off instead of holing water and cupping
Nice build. What was done about the gaps between the ribs and the steel window frame?
oh, got it: burning
how is this better than a normal home?
What will the water be used for? I don’t think that rain water collected from roofs is not potable water.
In this modern day and age we have sanitizers and filtration
@@randomCHELdad If you get enough rain…
@@randomCHELdad Which does not necessarily get all the chemicals...
@oldphart-zc3jz So distill it?
containers get hot over summer time?
Did you put down any sort of sub-floor before installing the red oak?
Man, save space and hygiene by putting an outhouse up outside somewhere.
Or just go anywhere
What type of welder are you using? And specs on it, please.
Why no thermal break under the flooring? It looks like you went right over the bottom of container.
You're collecting water after it runs through the pressure treated wood?
Using rusty roofing metal of course....
Yeah, there are a few headscratchers with this project to put it nicely
Yeah..nah.. won't be drinking that water mate.
@@MM-qq8eu Then what's he collecting it for? There's no flushing toilet or sink in it
bro. safety goggles.
Hot!
Water runs off the treated lumber that has poisonous chemicals in it?
It doesn’t matter if this thing was lightly used or literally never used. You will never ever remove all of the toxic chemicals out of the wood or the paint that was originally designed to keep these things in shape over long extended periods of infestation of bugs, rodents, or just general Saltwater or chemical exposure.
If you don’t believe me, look it up into exactly how these things are painted and how the floors are treated.
Takes a man.
No vent on the roof ?
Pressure treated deck....above the water collection? No one will be drinking this water I hope.
Centerline symbol? Now all you need is some draft marks.
steal so rusty & have holes in them?
Container builds are for people that don't worry about budget limitations.
It just does not make sense to me
Great job but every time i watch one of these shipping containers videos i know an RV is a better choice
Which one is gonna last a lifetime?
Never put your wagon in front of your mules!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I wish that I have money for to but it😢😊
Self taught I presume?
Sure and all....... BUTTTTT>>> Isn't it just eaisier, cheeper and more insulative to make it the old fashion way.... You know ... with wood ?

Those stairs don't look ADA compliant.
Personally, I would just buy a good used single wide trailer. Shipping containers are NOT constructed to be houses, they do not meet code, they sweat, require massive shoring up etc.
Ok. So this guy knows what he’s doing. Glad he does. I don’t.
Cute not ok in MN
Expensive, hot, prison cell. Waste of money.
Shipping containers as homes are the worst idea ever. They are not designed for housing they are for shipping...hence the name "shipping containers". You've been had.
well thar was a fucking waste of time.
I'm not a fan of painting the inside or outside of houses battleship / penitentiary grey. It makes everything so dark and gloomy inside. The landlord of my house did this to the inside and it was awful!
My bathroom is better than that
. . . .a sand blaster . . . . a plasma torch . . . . and some structural engineering before you kill someone.
