Container Home Build in pictures Part 1 

With Ryan's ru-vid.comUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!

I have thought about doing that since I was a kid, great job! I look forward to seeing it completed..

The joy of arriving at a house you built with your own bare hands !!! not even a mansion beats it

Thank you for taking and sharing those fine photos. What great work.

definitely enjoyed watching this thank you for sharing 😉😃

Awesome! Thanks for sharing details!

It's great to experiment as a new home owner. I really like this idea of container homes. A couple of points about constructability: (a) prepare road conditions for transport; (b) space temporary foundations blocks away from permanent foundations because this container needs more area at the footer and it needs to be mechanically fixed to concrete(hand mixed in this case); (c) consider space between the container (1) container width for a garden or common space. The affect on roof trussing is very small but you get this out of container feeling. Backfill with gravel to a cement screed to floor level of containers. (d) when you construct by yourself or with a contract demand for yourself Safety. One fall, one slip, one object to your eye can have financial consequences and delay. :o) Thanks for the nice video and good luck!!!!!

I love how this guy works in dress slacks and a dress shirt lol. Banker by day, homebuilder at night. great work though. I want to construct a shopping container home as well.

Awesome. I want to make a stacked Hi Cube two story house out of shipping containers. Yours looks amazing!

never the less I loved ur project

Love the simplicity of your design! We are currently building a container home in the Pacific Northwest. Keep up the great work!

Simple and beautiful !

Genial, fenomenal. maneco - Port Alegre-RS - Brasil.

The I-beam down the center is a nice way to bridge the gap but it will only lay vertical if your containers are matched in side height. There is some variation between container manufacturers. Mismatched container roof joints can be bridged with 2" x 1/8" steel strip (I had half a 4x8 sheared into strip which was cheaper than buying flat bar but YMMV). I tacked then welded the seam with E71T-11 flux core wire in a suitcase wire feeder.

looking forward on your part 2. i am planning to build a few 20 footer cabins for our next year's "visit my hometown" here in tambunan sabah. just wonder about the lightning arrester if you did think about it.

That's what I want!!! How did you get the conexes up onto the blocks? Did you install an I beam on the floor at the box junctions too or just weld the halves together? What about the joints where the boxes came together on the ends?Mr . Carpenter, these boxes are typhoon and hurricane proof. That's why people use them. Bravo, sir!

It is a brilliant cost effective way of building and very versatile

Great . Thanks for sharing!

greats. you made me inspiration built my own home.. thanks..

Nice build, here in Australia, you have to have the higher containers. Building regulations will not accept the 8' high containers. Some people use the old refrigerated containers as they are already insulated.

Good work with cool music.

Very good job, nice little house 👍from France.

A couple of suggestions for others, or "next time." I REALLY like longer eves overhang, it's cool for a number of reasons, keeping blowing rain/ snow off the windows. "Up here" folks have even used the rear "long overhang" to stack firewood, etc.

Using the rails.to weld the 2 containers is a brilliant idea.

good job man but so many ways to do this project. The sky is the limit to what you can do with shipping containers. New or used.

so you had the drop ship trucks just drop the containers side by side as close as possible. then used the backhoe to lift up the ends and squeeze the 2 containers up against each other? Then lift up one end of a container and put cement blocks in the corners. drop end and do the same on the other end? I'm amazed you have the thing just sitting on cement blocks. I was thinking to make concrete pads for each corner before ordering the containers.

beautiful shipping container house viedo

Outstanding! 🤯💛⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I cut a 40' container apart for metal scrap once.. cutting those walls out with a torch or saw was tough. hardest part was removing the wooden floor. great video

quentinho no verão e fresquinho no inverno, não há igual, assim como o sr. engº que faz tudo, só lhe faltava a gravata.

1st off, nice work. I am considering a shipping container home myself so your place gave me some good ideas. I really liked the I-Beam down the center of the top. I also liked the U - Channel on the inside center. Especially for structural security. But I have a couple of questions. 1) Why didn't you put it on a better foundation? 2) I didn't see any kind of drainage in place. What did you do for that? 3) Was there any reason for not adding 2 additional I-Beams on each edge of the home? 4) Did you, or consider, putting a protective "sealer" on the roof before adding the trusses? 5) Why did you weld each bracket on the container while the truss was upright? There were burn marks which means that the structural integrity of the truss was then comprised. You knew the dimensions of the wood, you knew the spacing of each truss, why would you do that? Especially with the investment that you are making into it. I'm not trying to be mean or criticize your project (mostly with #5), I'd just like to know and find out. Looking forward to Part 2. I hope that I can find it.

Wow supper beautiful in the house container solid a house 🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️ wishes of house container wow supper solid good job

Рабочий, который занимается сваркой в белой рубашке и наглаженных брюках - это шедевр😁👍))

First and foremost, I would want a solid foundation to securely place the containers on before anything else.

i see skills and I'm a skilled builder. nice work my friend

looking good sir..nice work.

I liked the work it's a good job and perfect i which visiting Germany and usa cos i like a good working people

Very impressive. Thank you for sharing.

nice job, well done .

This is so cool

Vraiment du bon travail France

Great video, we used a foot of mud on the outside for insulting, which we also discovered that it also resisted RPG direct fire.

wow. I have not heard this tune since I was about twelve years old on my mom's old Windows XP computer...in 2002! Now in two months...(June 2020) I will be turning thirty!

Das ist.. das ist....... das ist FANTASTISCHHHHHH

This was a great idea 7-10 years ago. To many people trying to make money on the containers now, you can stick frame for less than 1/5 the price of the container and deliver

THIS IS SO COOL DKFJGKD!!!

Awesome & love the music what is it.... Ill get there with the home....sooooooooooon Gracias

AMAZING😎👍

Waiting in suspense for part II :)

nice!

Great. Inside the container, we need to do a lot of work on electric insulation.

very nice, thanks

Awesome 👍👍

Great information

nice roof! but i would prefer a rooftop living area.. great job....

My only thought on using containers is heat retention and cold retention in winter.

I like the single wide behind it... Not much difference in size, but the 16'×40' container will last much longer!!!

this is good

The idea is great! But I question the no footings, or foundation? Other than that, great!

Thank you for taking the time to share your project. This is very encouraging and simple in some ways. However, I did learn a few things during your journey. Please advise on how you manage the power supply. Is your structure off grid? Is it plumbed into a septic or community sewer system? Did you insulate the roof and walls? The last picture showed the floor being sealed. Were walls constructed with outlets etc.HVAC Unit?..Just curious.....Once again, Thank you...

great idea awesome love it

Nice job

beautiful

I'm impressed by anyone who can nail together two 2x4s much less someone who can build a house all by themselves. Totally jealous of these people

well done

I think these homes would stand high winds I never recall a train blown away

Random question but were you a welder by trade? I want to do this in the near future and I'm lucky enough to have my dad, who was a welder at GM for almost 40 years! He can build anything from steel LOL. Just wondering if you were, lots of respect for people that do that job! I would love to learn sometime, and I'm sure my dad would teach me but I thought it would be really cool to do something like this together 😄👍🏻

NINJA TUNA ! I CANT ESCAPE IT!

Nice!

*great vid!! But is all that weight stable/secure ontop those cinder blocks?*

Trucking those in can't be cheap... one man can frame up four walls in just a few hours, studs are cheap. Not sure you are saving much messing with this... Finishing your house is where the money pit is; not the four walls.

f***ING awesome

If more than one was to be built or just because, invest in a plasma cutter really nice to have if electricity or power plant available.

wow you need more middle support for the roof than you ve got here....you need a strong header down the middle of these two storage containers ....

Good idea to place that i-beam on the top. It will give structural strength when removing the inner walls and does not lower the ceiling. Why did you not remove the floors?They are normally impregnated with pesticides that leach out over time. Would not want to have that in a closed room where you stay (sleep) for a long time. It will accumulate and can cause serious illness. It is the first thing i am doing in my container build.

Se ve muy bueno,y cto sadra incuyendo envio.

I thought you were going to show us the final work!!

Exelente. ..

What song is this in the background? Awesome build also! Thx

I saw the I beam to join the two on the roof, what was used to join the the two inside ceiling?

I really like how this man works in dress slacks and a get dressed blouse lol. Banker by using day, homebuilder at night time. Notable work although. I want to construct a buying field home as well.

Its a steel box.How hot will it get in the summer? Frame the inside.Insulate,and dry wall,and you likely could live in it.

Wife and I are investigating this type of thing using six boxes. four side by side and two as a second story. Did you use one-way boxes?

Элитный сварщик. В белой рубашке работает.

good job

maestro muy lindo !!!! consulta q altura tienen los container . ??

Молодец мужик

that's just great, but did you anchor It down anywhere

Very good video with great information. What is it that is applied to the floor at the end of the video? And how did you finish and insulate floors and walls?

OMG I love that 🎶! Please share the name and artist, group, band.....you know what I mean. Thanks! Love your video!

I'm in Manila Philippines I just saw a 4-5 story building they are constructing using containers

Não acredito que esse cara só calçou o container só com bloco estrutural!! A base tem que ser feita de concreto e ou toras de madeira ...Meu Deus

Wow ❤️❤️

One time a guy was setting up a mobile home and he also didn't know you cannot set cinder blocks without wood between them. Somehow when they broke his head was under the home. A guy a mile away said it sounded like a shotgun.

Попробуй у нас с таким контейнером 1 день прожить 😂

Was any of the paint ground down before welding?

lmao..talk about bake in the summer and freeze in the winter 😂

👍👍💁💛💝

great...
