Change Of Plans... 

My daddy is raising 7 teenage daughters by himself on our 9200 acre farm. He is also an architect. He watched this with us and said, mistakes happen, fix them, learn from them and move on. You got this. We love you...

Who else loves these guys!?!?

I so appreciate how calm Spencer remains no matter what happens. It is a quality that I greatly respect!

Does anyone else get as excited as my wife and I do whenever we get a notification of a new Life Uncontained video?! 🥰😁

When you cut the 9 inch error, (when is that ever bad?? Lol) you can move it to the top, and weld it back in place....maybe a small awning to hide the weld?

I think you all are at your very best when you are creating livable spaces. I for one, love seeing the process. Wishing you the very best for the coming year.

You both seem so perfectly matched, it's almost unbelievable how well you get along. Spencer, you're such an easygoing guy. And McKenzie, your kids are going to be so well-balanced, because you don't get all upset when kids will be kids. You both can laugh at your mistakes, then you pull it all together and work to make it right. Wow, you both blow me away!

Regardless of some miss measuring your little cabin will turn out fantastic. Love your videos. ❤️❤️. 🌞🇨🇦

Yes, of course the shipping container is coming along beautifully…but the star gazing and those adorable small people( aka: kids) are utterly fascinating!

I have been converting containers for over 20 years. Have no worries. Your oversight is minimal. You have superb talents..your attention to detail is overwhelming. All of your work is well above any expectations. Live and learn. Your solution will be outstanding for certain.

Spencer i have researched something that could help you guys. For a very long time my parents had a pellet stove. The bags of pellets were expensive. My parents retired...they switched to propane. Well.....i found out that ANYBODY can buy a pellet maker. I found one guy on ..he makes pellets from grass clippings and leaves etc....and heats his house FREE

Beau’s curls are amazing; you have beautiful, sweet babies. I loved them tromping in the mud.

Love watching the children play in the mud. feel bad for your husband & his little error on the window , but just think of the way it will turn out in the long run, Happy New Year & have a wonderful year to come.♥♥♥.

there is a device called confoot designed to keep containers raised up from the floor to a high point. its safe and its easy to use. Maybe you should consider using such device when it comes to foaming/insulating under the container. Not sure which countries the company has their products in, but they are a Finnish company which is where I live.

To the most beautiful people on the face of this Earth I wish you guys Happy New Years with prayers to you and your family

Painters tape. Man’s best friend during layout….and a dog all the other times 😎👍

I totally love how low key you guys are. 👍❤️

Oh my goodness! Those curls on your little girl!!! Can she get any more precious? And your little boy brings to mind, snips n’ snails n’ puppy dogs tails! Wonderful family…..a joy to watch.

Take the lower cutout and weld it at the top. Problem solved! love your show. don't give up. God bless you and your family!

Been watching since the very beginning... love everything about these two and the kids.

I’ve seen you guys post a few times about 3D models and struggles with not having someone with an architecture background. I find your channel fascinating and having watched you guys build your home to be inspiring. If you’re interested in visualizing your projects in a BIM model then I’d be delighted to offer pro bono support.

I love that with all of the new tools & gadgets, the best step stool is a 5 gallon bucket ✌️

Add a 9in stain glass color window design above the existing window cutout.. The color light shinning through would be beautiful!

Hiccups always come up in construction. You TWO always find a way to make it work the way you want it to. Kudos!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas Bless New Year PEACE Bless Health To All enjoy watching All you doing have done seeing the family

Can't believe how fast the kids have grown! Beautiful kids special times. When I saw your youngest climbing the ladder reminded me of myself climbing up after my father to the roof at age 3 1/2. I'm now 69 both mom and dad gone but I have so many wonderful memories. Keep building memories with them they will be treasures for tomorrow.

Y’all are such a beautiful family. The LORD has truly blessed y’all.

You've got to love those guarding dogs doing such a good job of protecting you all. Spencer mistakes happen but it's a wife's job to make it look oh so funny. Good job Kenzie.👌💛👌💛

I thought I wasn't going to be much interested in this one, but I ended up laughing about half the time. Thank you for being people that don't get pissy with each other when stuff goes wrong, or at least showing it if you do. lol. I think I say every time how much I love that Beau is such a daddy's girl and now we know that Cam (Kam?) is a mamma's boy.

Omg. Your little girls curls. So cute. Having our first grandchild in February!❤

With all those big windows do you have any worries about the structural integrity of the container?

Add an awning over the kitchen window to hide the patch.

Mackenzie and Spencer, mistakes can happen, the main thing is you know how to correct them. Your wife always has a smile on her face, even when things go wrong. How can you not love watching their videos. Happy New Year to you all from Mike.❤

So glad you can laugh through the mistakes and not be too hard on yourself. Funny memories for down the road! You guys are inspiring and I appreciate you sharing your lives like you do. It’s been very awesome to watch everything just grow around you guys.

FYI: Every time I see McKenzie up close for the first time in each video, my immediate reaction is "Oh my God, she is so pretty". You're a lucky man Spencer.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas 🎄. Love your videos. I don't know where you get the energy from with 2 little ones. Doing a great job. Greetings from England 🇬🇧 xxx

Not sure is this is an urban legend but a house in our area was built without consideration for the walls thickness , so the hallways were too narrow. These things happen, luckily it’s fixable! Great work Spencer.

Build an awning on the outside of the kitchen window-it'll hide the patch metal and will look just fine

Beautiful Beau! Such gorgeous curls. Sweet family! I liked the window higher. Better views.

Happy New Year and best of wishes for your new build. 😊. Fun times

“All I want in life is to be told I’m funny while being fed tacos.” 😂❤ Happy New Year!

The kids are growing so fast, Happy New Year to you all.

I've been watching for a few years now. I LOVE the outtro. the container glide over then dock glide away with the drone and the the cow approach. I hope you keep it forever.

I hope you guys had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year. Always love to get your pop ups for a new video. Spencer, you learned AGAIN not to cut the metal UNTIL you get the windows. RUSHING again buddy lol. Stay safe and I pray you have a great year ahead

That's very cute. Up one rung of the ladder and he was way up high.

Make sure to get a window that opens on the opposite end of the front door so if a fire breaks out you will have a 2nd way to escape

I love how you two can laugh at the mistakes. You guys are awesome!

Happy new Year to all of you, you're doing a great job and you're a great family, I wish you all the best for 2023. Greetings from Germany!

Mistakes are made by everyone in this ol' life. That's what makes us humans.

I recently saw a product (in use) that you should look into instead of the job that we all love... drywall. The product is sustainable and has technology behind it and is tough. Friends of ours recently added a basement bedroom and used it. They were completely finished in under 2 hours. There's no mudding, taping, sanding, MESS. It's called Trusscore. I hope this is helpful for you! All the best to everyone in 2023. Have a safe and happy NY eve. Heather🇨🇦

Have the older child follow you around Spencer. She can inspire you all day long no matter what.

So glad you two can laugh about almost anything and keep going, Kenzie, you would be so much fun to be around as everything is funny whether it"s a mistake or something that comes out perfect. My how the kids are growing and Beau is so cute in what she says. Keep them involved as they are making memories that will last a lifetime, I look forward to Fridays and a new experience every week

The night sky shots are amazing :)

You probably have already thought about this but the small section (9") that you took off the bottom should be exactly what you need to repair the top. Stuff happens and you seem to take it all in stride. Great job and thanks for taking us along! J.R.

Stand the window frame on its end and put the brace inside the frame, extend the extension bar wall to wall to the height the frame needs to be when it would be resting on the brace, and lock the bar in place. Oh, the wood works good enough. Nevermind. Lol

Sounds like a great title for a child's book!! The 2 Adventurous Chickens....

Joys that you two are coming along in this build

Yes, as I, Papa Smerf always say, "Life is an adventure" enjoy all of it. The good, bad, etc...

The only thing that I can say is love your videos and keep up the good work. God bless ya'll

I can’t believe Beau and Cam are getting so big!! I feel like you guys were just pregnant for the first time 😭

Spencer…your great, mistakes make us who we are, in the end. Much love to your family♥️GBY in 2023💯

Spencer you are doing great! Your kids are so cute and growing fast! Love your family dynamics!

Happy New Year from Sweden. Love watching your progress. You are both so talented. ❤

At what point in the building process will this guest retreat be moved to it's permanent location in the woods? When it's completely done or before? I hope your next project is a storm shelter- I think of you all when storms roll through Texas!

Always excited when your videos are released! Thank you for such great content over the years. Happy New Year!

Spencer you are such a perfectionist . I knew you would figure where you went wrong. I know your biggest cheerleader would help you figure it all out McKenzie . Your kids are right there to help you as well . They are so cute . As usual the video was very enjoyable and entertaining Happy New Year ' you guys !!!

Spencer is a lot like my dad when he was doing a reno. My dad had to pull out the new window I don’t know how many times. Yes mistakes are to be expected when it comes to put in windows. Oh by the way the window finally was placed correctly. Don’t get frustrated!

It’s not easy. If it was, everyone would do it. Keep pushing through 😊

I love how you all can laugh about your mistakes and just move on

I was laughing out loud right along with y'all. This was too funny and I bet was even better in person. Great job, as always, keeping your cool under the pressure of being human ❤

I 🫶 your chanel so much! Keep rolling that beautiful container footage, and I will keep watching! Lol! Beautiful family BTW!

Yayyy, I was right here when your video popped up. I am watching right now. I will update when I'm finished watching 👀 Ok, just finished watching. Your kids are so adorable. I love how you laugh with your mistakes, not at them. I knew you would figure it out. Have a Happy New Year. Hugs 🤗

I'd love to see a hlf container on top for an upper floor for the master.

Hi, Hope you and your family had a great Christmas Holiday. I've watched your home build from the beginning and you have done a fantastic job. What is crazy is that you & your wife did all this hard and rewarding work with little to no experience. Thank god for RU-vid lol. I have a suggestion for the little space above your last window cut out. Here in Barbados, we always say that when doing a job, some mistakes you make creates a style for our projects. You can try putting glass Louver windows in that space above the window. They may only be 2 or 3 louvers but they will bring in additional light & air. Continue your good work and may you and your family have a blessed and prosperous 2023. P.S At some point in the future, will you and your wife consider building an underground storm shelter as a precaution of tornado activity in your region?

Spencer - stuff happens - you can always fix it or get a new plan .. all is not lost ! It’s gonna be beautiful in the end 🎉❤ Your children are so adorable 🥰!! Happy New Year 🎈🎆

I have a saying that I use often at home when doing project. Why do it once when you can do it twice 😂

I always love your videos. Don’t worry when you make mistakes. They are just learning experiences. I love watching the babies grow and Beau has beautiful hair. She’s so cute. Need more closeups of Cam. Happy New Year to you and yours!

Suggestion, frame in the top of the window and make it a second window with a strained glass insert. Will need to be custom-made probably, but you can get artsy with the stained glass. Maybe 3 or 4 sectional sg pieces that can be interchanged with the seasons.

HELLO 🤗 I always look forward to what your family is doing 😉 so funny how you two interact while building 😂 Beau & Cam are so cute & tipical boy jumping in mud puddle🙂 take care 🙏🇺🇲💖

Okay, this is easily solved, just get her some 9-inch platform shoes from a 1970s retro shop.

Happy New Year to you all. This guest cabin will be as beautiful as your home.

Love you guys! Happy New Year to you, your beautiful children and both of your families and loved ones!! Thanks bunches for allowing me to be a part of your lives since your first day here on YT!! Enjoy your New Year !!

I say make the cut out bigger and don't do upper cabinets! It's just a little vacation home no need for all the little things 💗

As soon as I get notice of your video coming out I have to watch it. Your videos are never boring and you don’t drag them on forever. Your babies are growing so fast, where has time gone? Love your videos with the night sky, animals, scenery, pond and of course, the people ❤😂

As someone who works in sketchup, I don't do dimensions or scale from there, i use AutoCad for the 2D precision work

Fill it back in on top with the shipping container tin then use the rest to make a mini awning. You use to see some of the older cars have mini sun visors on the outside of the front windshield. Something like that. Could you put some type of stone if you filled it in with flat piece of tin? Love watching you create and those babies are sure growing.

At this point, you could build a birdhouse and I’d be hopelessly addicted to your videos. You’re two of the nicest people, ever. Watching you build your off-grid home with obvious love and humor is now one of my favorite things! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year. 👍🏻🎄❤️🥂

SUPER CUTE as always you guys... SO MUCH love going you're way as in positive thoughts and feelings!!!! Thank you for ALL you are doing!

Wishing you all a happy new year 2023

Merry Christmas , Did the kids have awesome Christmas 🎄, kids are getting big , time goes by fast , Happy New year's, 2023 , Blessed ,

Bo's curls are sooo beautiful. The kids are growing up so fast

I can’t believe that Spencer actually said those two things on video, accurate as they were! My favorite RU-vid channel! We all make mistakes!

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Happy New Year to your amazing little family and thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Thanks for sharing the mistakes as well as the victories. It will undoubtedly help others to avoid making them. Nothing you can't conquer anyway. Happy New Year!.
