Are We Renting Out Our SHIPPING CONTAINER CABIN? 

I 1000% agree not to rent to the public. People do not respect other people's property. Save yourself the headache.

Are you two for real??? Patient parents, supportive spouses, and killer handyman skills. Love watching.

I agree completely! Do not rent out your property. Protect your privacy. Merry Christmas!

Not sure why anyone would think you planned to rent. It's always been clear this was for your family, making a dream property to escape to. It's incredible all you two have done.

SO HAPPY YOU ARE KEEPING THE CABIN FOR YOUR FAMILY!!!! LOVE YOU ❤

You might want to consider murphy bunk beds that could fold up and give the kiddos a place to play, plus you could paint the undersides with chalkboard paint for the kids to color on.

I love it when kids offer to help! It’s a caring motive by them as well as a learning experience! So precious! ❤️🇨🇦

AGREED, do NOT rent out the cabin. it would put a gps marker on the mountain property. Not only would you get the renters, it would also draw the looky loo's and people stopping by randomly "just to see". You would not have any privacy and neither would your renters. Also with trespassers you would get property damage that would end up destroying the property you hold dear. Some renters would be respectful and decent of the cabin and property but some would not. They could and would destroy all that you hold dear. Some people just want to watch the world burn. Do NOT open yourself up to that. No amount of money is worth all that headache. If you choose to do a rental property in the future, do not do it in a place that your care about. Because it will be a business venture, something that can come and go and something you can walk away from. Do not do it to something that is a part of your heart or that you hold dear.

Good morning Kinzie and Spencer. I feel your decision not to rent out the cabin is a good one. You found that mountan property and love it and it fits all your wants and desires...for you. Keeping it for you and family is wise IMO. Absolutely love the kids looking out at the rain in the vid, very special. Wishing you, Spencer and the kids a very Merry Christmas 🎄 Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

Kudos for letting your kiddos “help” at an early age. Honoring their intention while their capacity is low will pay off as their capacity grows. Every ounce of energy they put into your family’s pursuits is worthy of celebration. One day you’ll turn around and that little boy will be helping you lift something that makes both your faces turn red and your muscles spasm … and when you high-five each other after it’s over, try to remember these early days without the threat of tears. Blessings-Jeff

you are both really great people with adorable children. I am glad that you are not going to rent out the container, It was good to see spencers little helpers, especially when Cam said " don't worry daddy I'll help you" that was so sweet. Have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year.

I and my partners bought a property a while back. The best advice we got was to enjoy it for a year plus before deciding on weather we would do any short term rentals. After a year, we knew we didn’t want to do that. We do let friends and family use it though.

Love watching you & you are amazing parents, spouses, and people all the way around. You have a great life ahead of you!

Everyone’s looking great love to all of you. Can’t wait to see the cabin done. Hope your feeling well. God Bless your beautiful family.

🎄🎅🏼 Oh, starting off that video with the two of those children are wearing a little Santa hat. You guys are the best. I know you know that but I just like to say it out loud. And they are blessed to have you both as parents. Much love and many blessings, happy holidays, and a prosperous new year to you all.

Rental property can being a lot of work and concern and hassle. Glad you are keeping it for your family. With your third child, life will be plenty busy! Happy Holidays ‼💚❤

Enjoyable to watch. We let our daughter help too. When daddy was fixing stuff in or outside our home she had her own tool chest. I am a ceramic artist and she helped me even going to shows and acting as my clerk. She is 41, child of her own. Her guy built their house himself. She still has her tool chest. Somehow all that knowledge drew her to a career as a High School science teacher. All those basic skills your children are learning mean they will have a lot of independence and good choice making skills. Thanks for the videos.

I remember whennthey first started doing their home containers , it was only both of them , then baby girl , was born and then baby boy ❤ And to watch them built their home with no experince and no help from no one , and watching Spencer , i learn a lot .

I can remember helping my parents. You have instilled so much self worth in those 2 young ones. A feeling of importance to the family, helping, & that they are needed will be carried down to their own families..

I have watched you two now going to be five, from the very beginning and Spencer never ceases to amaze me. You two are so adorable together and always overcome all obstacles with grace. You are such loving and patient parents to two beautiful kids, and I know will be the same with number 3. I am wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We get so excited when we see a notification for Life Uncontained!! Love you guys! Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for 2024 . Have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.

Have a fabulous Christmas and new year, you are a family that appreciate together time because your helpers are the most precious to watch. Excited for the New Year and what surprises you have in store .

We love your precious family including the 4 legged ones. Wish you all a very blessed Christmas. Hope the new year brings you great success, much joy and excellent health. God bless you on your journey 🥰🇨🇦

Love watching these guys, I wish I had recorded my build, I went with a three-story home, one story below ground, now that was an experience! But now that it's finished, the underground concrete section is double walled, and has an elevator to the other two upper floors. Lucked out by drilling a water well, it turned out to be an artesian well. I had to catch up here, while we were building and moving into our new home. Spencer, you have done an outstanding job, I mean that seriously. We do not have Natural Gas, I bought a Generac Whole Home Generator which runs off our 5,000 gallon LP gas.

Love them like my own children, and Bear is still the center piece of the family. Be blessed.

Wow Spencer you are such a MacGyver guy always figuring work arounds way to go. Loved seeing the kids assisting you on your projects that is how they learn. I thought the new cabin for the mountain resort spot for you, your family and friends would not be a rental spot. Kendra smart move. The build continues and should be ready next spring to move it up to the mountain property. Thanks for bringing us all along on your journey and have a Very Merry Christmas. Have a great week and be blessed.

Love seeing the kids helping out their dad. Have a beautiful Merry Christmas!🎄🎁 Love and be safe!🤗😘❄️🇻🇪

All in south Africa love these two hardworking folks and their lovely kids ❤❤❤❤

More progress being made, at the mercy of the weather on what can be done. Have a great Christmas and New Year with your children & the future one. Love from Mike. ❤🌲

Quality videos…you do a great job with the editing…and telling a story.

Love watching and seeing how they solve their problems together. Real team work. My husband and I have always solved our situations together and there for makes us strong as a family. You guys are doing it right.

Merry Christmas, friends. I can hardly wait for the finished home. You two rock.

I don’t blame you for not renting out your cabin, not in today’s world. Unfortunately too many people disrespect others property plus you would have to pack up personal stuff every time you rented it out . Plus one fire not properly doused and you could lose all , trees, home and everything you worked so hard to build. Enjoy your getaway house

That's a great decision, my family and I would certainly love our privacy as well!!! By the way, can you please share how you were able to find your mountain property? Is the a website or websites to look into mountain properties? My husband and I are also interested!Thanks in advance!

Spencer = top quality craftsman!! I think it would be great to use the PVC anywhere possible. Merry Christmas!🎄🎁

It's always fun to watch you all mature and grow as a family. Your relationship and children are beautiful. When you are done with the mountain home, how about that barn? It looks dangerous and possibly snake infested. I would love to see yall improve on that. I worry whenever Spencer goes in there, but I am so happy when he comes out. WHEW.

happy holidays y'all the lil mountain cabin is looking great I know y'all are going to have lots of memories started in there also it's great having a change of scenery every now and then 💖

I was happy to see you got some nice weather! 🌞 Wishing you guys a Blessed 2024! 🙌 many new adventures to come! ❤

Been with these guys from the start of their container home. Just looove your videos. Your cheeky personalities, your cute kids, and especially your dogs (cos I’m a dog person) 😉

Thank you for letting us know about your decisions. I am sitting here giggling with you 😂👍 Bear just gets more handsome the older he gets 💞

I’m glad you’re not renting it out. It’s what you’ve always wanted! So excited to follow along this journey. We consider y’all friends. We tell everyone about “Our friends on RU-vid!!” 😂

Who else loves these guys!?!???

I sure do enjoy watching your journey. From non builders, to construtction inovators. Keep Building your dreams!

เด็กๆโตแล้วน่ารักจังเลย❤❤❤

Keep showing up for the builds! Keep coming back for the music!

Hi, hope your having a great Christmas. When the container is being moved up to the mountain I would suggest you remove the vent and weatherproof the opening its just lending itself to be damaged during transit.

You are so fortunate having two brutes to help carry foam board. 😄 👍👍👍

Lol While you were talking about the framing and the notch you needed to cut, all could think was, WOW, the ceilings are going to be so low. The next frame is u standing on a gal bucket. 😂😂😂😂 Mackenzie, the way you get tickled by everything around you, your laughter is so heartwarming. Especially when it's about the kiddos. You two are such great parents. ❤❤❤ Wishing you and your wonderful family a very Merry Christmas and a safe and joyous New Year. ☃️🎄🎅🤶🦌🎶👼⭐🎉🥂🍾❤️🤗

Thank you, as always, for sharing! A good call to keep your mountain get-a-way a special private place, in my estimation. The insurance of renting it out might have been high. ENJOY!! ❤

Merry Christmas to your whole family. Spenser is the Man. Figuring out little things that won't become big things. I also think keeping the cabin as a vacation location will be the smart move. You always run the risk of some "renter", creating a situation. The trim around the door, is a nice touch, a little shiny, but looks nice. See you next year. Happy New Year too. 2024!!

Merry Christmas and blessings for 2024!! Love you growing family 🙏🎄❤️

Merry Christmas!!! God Bless You All!

Kinzie & Spencer great video , love seeing the children helping Dad on the project's around the cabin. Have a wonderful Christmas day together on the homestead. David B., Utah. ♥♥♥.

Okay, so you're not renting out your shipping container cabin. You are getting that finished to bring to your mountain property. I think you had said that in the past, but same people may not have caught that. My question is your original off-grid property, the one not in the mountains, what do you plan to do with it after you set up residence in the new mountain property?

Merry Christmas to all of you!!! Thank you for all the videos you put out each year. I live vicariously through you. All the best in the year ahead! 😍🥰❤🎅🤶🌲

I hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas 🎄 💓! Y'all do fantastic things with everything and everyone you touch! Have a safe and Happy New Year 😊!

I can't wait for you guys to re do the barn so we see more of your work. I feel like I'm growing with yall since the start. I feel like I live there too. Lol

I love watching you guys do y'all thang. I bet living in nature like that brings a form of peace verses living in the city.

Merry Christmas to your whole family... and Blessings for the New Year..

I'm very happy sharing their experiences. They are both talented in their own ways. 😊

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays! am looking forward to seeing everything finished. I agree, do not rent out - protect your privacy. Beautiful work, Spenser!

Good for y'all....keeping this for yourselves. Truly admire you for that! Merry Christmas!

Been watching since day one, watching your wonderful family grow! As a painter and decorator recommend you fill the drill holes around your window and door trim, will stop the screw heads rusting or rot developing if rain sits in there over time! Merry Xmas!

Love your videos. It's my weekly joy to watch you guys create this amazing dream and to see your family grow. Blessing for this Christmas season.

Just started watching you and have been binge watching to catch up. You guys are a riot to watch. I laugh and learn at the same time! Just want to thank you for all you do! ❤

By Sometime in Spring 2024 you guys will be setting this container cabin up on the mountain property! I’m sure you’ll be excited about that 👏🏼😁 MERRY CHRISTMAS LIFE UNCONTAINED !!!!

On the door trim: two pieces of smart trim, milled to half of your needed width, biscuit join to bond, butt joint is pre-sealed with the exterior glue, done.

Thanks for the new episode. Good decision to keep the unit as a recreation cabin for the family to enjoy. I wish you, Spencer and the children a very Merry Christmas. 🎄 🎅

Everything is coming together ❤!!! Merry Christmas to all of you !!! 🎄💕

Even on the road I see this notification I b line to it! Love all the kiddos! The gate with the 3 cubs so cute! I see why hiding it till y'all announced! 🌸✌️💜

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Charleston,SC ! Look forward to following y'all in 2024.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all 😊

I can’t believe you guys have taken the time to clean out the old barn, fix any structural issues, add power, and concrete the floor as a workshop.

Merry Christmas to you all. Love watching you guys.

Looks like the old barn could use some love.

Happy holidays to you and the family Congratulations on the addition of the new member of your family God bless you all Glen from Guam usa

you haven't mention your pond for a long time just wandering if the water is any clearer now since you put the pump in?

Try to use an adhesion promoter spray when painting plastics. Keeps the paint from pealing over time. We use this in the automotive world to paint the plastic front and rear bumpers on cars.

Merry Christmas to your beautiful family.

Wishing you and you family a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year ❤ From our family to your family 🎉❤

Merry Christmas you all 🌲. God bless you
