In this video we build a budget minded workshop from two 40' shipping containers, a set of used trusses, and lumber we milled ourselves for less than $15,000.

We're a husband and wife team who bought 20 acres of bare off-grid land in North Idaho. Follow along as we turn a pole barn into our dream shop with an upstairs apartment!

2 containers $1500 each $1000 to transport That's $4000 dollars , Are you saying that you then spent $11 grand for wood to build just a roof ?

@eslader2313 2 месяца назад

screws ontop the ribs are better. If you take the extra .5 seconds to back off the screw and retighten the screw on the roof its guaranteed to be a water tight seal to the roof and the washer ends up higher on the steel. Meaning when water runs down the roof it won't start eating away at the rubber washer. I've had so many repairs I've been sent to that screws on the flat of the steel end up wearing through within 1 year as opposed to a screw in the high rib wears through in 20 years... assuming the steel doesn't damage the rubber cutting through it. I'm sold on using 2 1/4 nails with rubber washers. It pierces the steel and seals the hole without risking shards or metal cutting through the washer or just thrown about on the roof causing rusting over time.

@sociopathmercenary 17 дней назад

@@Scubadog_You just set up a vertical PVC pipe with a smallish hole in the bottom before the run to your collection tank. The PVC pipe captures the first several gallons of water that contains dirt, bird droppings, etc. The PVC pipe fills up and then the water starts moving in your collection tank. When it stops raining, the small hole in the bottom of the PVC pipe allows the dirty water to drain so that you're ready for the next rainfall. You can always filter that water if you need to drink it in an emergency but the primary use would be watering plants, flushing toilets, etc.

On several past job site occasions where we built similar equipment areas we had roll up doors added in to the covered sides of the containers. Turns what was long tunnel type storage in the containers into several easy to access “rooms” in each of the 40 ft containers.

I learned the hardway about predrilling for roofing screws. I didn't when I built my shop and I had several leaks. If you notice in the slowmo of Courtney installing a screw, the screw produces a "swarf" the protrudes from under the rubber gasket. When I discovered I had leaks, I examined the screws and found on the majority of the screws, that "swarf" was on the uphill side of the screw head, which of course provided a leak path. I have no idea why the would frequently end up on the uphill side, but they did. I went back and removed all the screws where I had leaks and knocked removed the pigtail "swarf" and installed new screws. If I ever install another metal roof, I will pre drill or go with a seamless roof style.

I had a cool idea for a cabin layout a lot like this. Picture three small buildings arranged in a U-shape, with a big outdoor area in the middle. Underneath everything, there's a sturdy concrete floor. Over the top, there's a roof covering everything. Inside the buildings, there are sliding glass doors that let you open up to the outside. And there's also a kitchen area with big sliding doors that can be opened wide or closed tight. So basically, you can easily switch between hanging out inside or outside, depending on the weather or your mood. It's like having the best of both worlds!

@blacklight4460 2 месяца назад

That's a beautiful job you all did. Wish I had a Courtney! Nice helper crew is a big bonus. One more thing to add is a large capacity raingutter and downspouts on the deck side. Crown the gutter up 6" high in the middle and put a downspout on each end. You'll keep the deck a lot cleaner and you can easily clean the gutter from the deck every month or so.

I hang welded shelving I fabbed to use torch bent round bar hooks to hang from the internal tiedown loops and have zero footprint so I can move machine tools, welders and carts beneath them. Super easy to fab and you get much stronger shelves than most commercial units. I fabbed simple upward-facing trays from angle then used flat bar crossmembers (dropped in place so I can move them if desired, no need to weld most of them) to further support the plywood surface. BTW Dow 418 auto glass urethane is magnificent sealant for container wall and door penetrations like air, electric cable and welding cable feedthroughs.

Nice work. The only thing I'd suggest is a railing around that deck and closing off the gap between the upper roof and deck and on the other side too so wind isn't blowing rain and snow inside. I know the ends will be open but it would cut down on a lot of moisture inside there and it would look even better.

I model in actual size in blender and can take a picture with blenders ortho camera put that picture over to my 42" printer and have 1/64" accuracy. So I make cut files for projects but also make actual size plans. Welders love to work from my plans. Your having a blast !

A few years ago i built a 40' container cottage on a cattle ranch. It was a small bunk house for workers. I made the exact same mistake stitch welding the doors and window frames in. A few leaked and had to be resealed a year later. My only issue was in the winter it stayed very humid in there without constant dehumidification. The minisplit didnt do that while heating, only AC.

@tonyjones678 2 месяца назад

Gidday Riley. You mentioned in this vid about weather to fix your metal sheeting in either the valley or the peak. I have seen what you have done previously, and it makes me cringe to see you fix off in the valleys. I have spent a lot of time in the game and here in Australia, across all states, it is a building code that fasteners are fitted at the peak. The main reason for this is that when screw off in the valley, there is the opportunity for leaks, this over time will rot out the battens that you’ve fastened to. If you get a leak in 1 in 50 fasteners and you’ve got 1500 screws, you’ve got 30 points of failure/rotten battens over a short space of time, maybe more. If your worried about integrity, we have cyclones that a roof has to survive. Anyway you guys do well. Cheers Bloke. Enjoy your winter sports

A hot car parked inside after driving would provide some extra heat, maybe a huge fireplace ir whatever and one could play or work year round in a very large area.
