Framing Our DIY SHIPPING CONTAINER Home Step by Step | Ep. 4 

I will build a container house using this guy's video. You're changing people's lives. Thanks, sir.

This video helped me a lot. I have been researching for about a year and worked construction 3 years. Drywall in a house cake but now that I have seen this, bro everything is square and those tracks are poifect

Nice work, I want to find a way to work with containers in the Caribbean, I'd always thought of the insulation being an issue because of its bulkiness to ship however the insulation you've used makes sense as it can be cost effective to ship that. One observation, when you put the roof runners for the insulation in before finishing the sheet rock to the walls, the result is now you'll have to add a top horizontal stud between the upright studs to catch the top of the sheet rock. Maybe you've addressed that in the following vids. Thanks for the guidance, very much appreciated.

GREAT VID ... my brother is curently building a luxury hunting blind out of one of these and i just sent him your video to help him out finishing his project !

Yorkie with sun glasses...definitely a Florida boy 😂😂...great video thanks for the info

when he said 5 seconds to get that done 😂I love the sound that came after 😂dude u lyx

Love the animated logo and the cute little Doggo🐶🤗... This was very helpful thank you🙏🏿

My ear explode every time the music drop... Thanks for the tutorial XD

Your dog has a dope set of shades...

That shirt you are wearing is what is making you 10x hoter than it is. Nothing keeps you cool like cotton. I hat those shorts in the summer.

If you want to mount your tv, will this be strong enough to support or would you have to add more support beams?

I was curious regarding the air gaps left in the corrugations behind the insulation. Is that a problem down the line regarding moisture? Do you spray foam in the corrugations? Does that air gap serve any purpose? I'd like to do spray foam but the spray foam is much more expensive in my area than insulation boards. I was happy to find this method of framing, it seems more budget friendly (and easier)

Do you screw frame studs to the container walls?

scored a like just for the yorkie..

What is the thickness of your plywood sub floor? Thanks for all the detail and tips. Nice

Quick question did you attach the framing to the container or is it just free floating held up by itself?

How did you screw the track to the metal to prevent future weather damage?

So what is holding the track in place? The force of the perpendicular walls and the ceiling?

Great video and love your Yorkie, so adorable!

Record the room with only the fan going, then in your audio select that track to be removed on all future tracks. Then you wont need to turn off your fan. The audio software will remove it.

I have a question in regards to if this container home was going to a colder climate. Would it be better to use a spray in foam insulation so as to prevent moisture between the exterior steel and the interior wall? From what I understand it would be detrimental to get moisture in that area of the wall. Your thoughts on this please. That you

i have a question since the height is 8' or 9.5' i need your technical expertise if i cut another container in half and weld it on top of this one for example and take the bottom container roof cut out so now we have around 12" ft height if we do that do we have enough strength we meet the criteria required by the state

From what I can tell you can push on the window from outside the container and you can shake the interior aluminum stud wall the windows should be attached to the container itself the window can handle a 180 mile-an-hour item being thrown at it but the wall that is attached to can't

How do you attach studs to the wall?

Would have love to know how many length of aluminum was needed to frame this container

where did you buy the studs and track and what are the dimensions

Are you using spray foam between your container walls and your insulation board?

is insulation board there instead of other insulation (say Fibreglass insulation) or as well as other insulation?

Can I use my own wood for the interior and/or exterior framing?

Nice cat dude ;)

Love your videos brother. Curious if the studs are screwed directly into the container metal is there not a concern for water leakage?

Hi! Amazing videos, thank you! Can I ask... why do you use metal framing rather than normal wood studs? Did re-watch the tutorial to see if you mentioned it, but not sure you did? 😀

how is the frame fixed to the container itself? is it just fixed to the plywood floor which is screwed into the plywood sub-floor? how is it fixed to the top of the container?

What size studs are you using?

How far from the ceiling do you install the track?

Can you please list all the tools for framing the containers

Does that act as a moisture barrier as well

I saw the article and was hoping to find a comprehensive book and materials source. I don’t do well with videos or computers. The article itself was reference to videos. Anyone know of a book? The ones I found on Amazon were worthless.

Can you use wood frames? I remember a few years ago, before container houses were popular, people were using wood to frame because there was no set protocol. I was just wondering if wood is still used or is steel now required. If both can be used, is steel framing just as cheap/inexpensive as wood, now?

What about the gap between the installation and the container that's at least a half inch gap

Last question from me (today): How are you fastening top/toe plates to the container? Are you using sheet metal screws?

Two things I noticed you didn’t attach metal studs to container my guess it’s it own frame work and doesn’t need support, like on typical house framing the out side sheeting works as ridged support. The other is or climate we go from 17* winter to 90* in summer, an I’ve heard that containers can sweat, is it better to spray foam to prevent that?

You need to mind the spoken track levels and your music levels. They should be set to -6db so when im done listening to your quiet voice track you dont have instrumental blasting in my face. The video was supremely helpful tho.

So are you affixing any parts of the steel studding to the container itself? Or is all the framing floating within the container? Thanks, Adam

How is the top track connected?

Great videos man. I have been trying to figure out what are you attaching the top track of the framing to? Can you explain how is the top track attached? Did you use screws or did you use any welding?

how is that top piece attached to the container?

your so funny but question can you do a container one by one then add them later

Is there a vent to allow the house to breathe? 👍

Are you using special screws? We're having a difficult time screwing ours together, and I'm not certain what the issue is.

How did you fix the framing under the roof without perforating the insulation?

Why you have not installed the insulation between the frames? There are ways to insulate the frames for the exterior walls. Using a heat reflective paint on the wall and roof of the container is a very efficient way to insulate against heat.I have used these paints only as insulation on containers in the Australian tropics.

Nice videos, I have watched them all so far, one question about framing, where do you get your supply and what are the dimensions, I looked at Lowe's (Online) and the smallest they have is 2.5" and yours looks smaller. Thank you for providing all this information.

Studs don't have to be spaced 16" apart since they are non-load bearing. You can save a ton of construction costs by increasing this distance.

Is it necessary to do 16" on center? Can I do 24" on center since the container itself is structural?

What about condensation?

What song is your intro song beat?

I can't find those aluminum studs and tracks on Home depot site. Can you throw me a link, please? Thank you.

Since the interior framing isn't taking any kind of significant structural load, is it really necessary to do 16" OC framing? With 24" OC, there are fewer studs (less money) and fewer places where the metal is conducting heat through the wall (less money over time). And that's the bigger problem with steel framing: heat conduction so bad that it can almost negate the benefits of the insulation. It would seem that, to a point, the fewer the studs the better.

How much would you say the metal framing costs for the 40ft? I have been debating using In So Fast on ours.

Lower the volume of the music, I have to turn it up when you speak and down when the music starts

how wide is the inside after everything is isntalled ? insolatioin studs drywall etc..

Where did you get your metal studs from??

We determined that it’s more cost effective to use spray foam and then we met the energy code as well in Colorado

porta-cool thats all you need, whats 2 grand for guys like you.

Listen up to story about a a blue man in a blue world sorry the yo just sounded like the beginning of the song

THE most important tip you completely missed is, BUILD IN THE FALL OR SPRING!

Gunsmokecontainsuperokthreecoolnineballcool😅😅

loving your videos...but your your 'music' is too loud....or your voice is too weak...

La perrita no es tuya verdad,? Está linda,

Why not use wood framing

Should have bought containers from shippingcontainerhomes.com.. $1,500 for a 40ft container and comes with or without a rooftop camper like ac unit for no extra charge ;) at the very least you could sell the ac unit but personally i would just use it lol, anyways hope that helps man!

PLEASE MATCH THE VOLUME OF THE MUSIC TO THE DIALOGUE

nice video but audio needs work. I can barely here You but the music blows out my speakers . NOT COOL

PLEASE stop using the BASS music, it's horrible having to turn down the sound every time!! the electric sounds are fine:)

Te da menos calor los suéter de algodón , la ropa interior de algodón , si es blanco mejor , la Florida es muy caliente ,👩‍👦‍👦🇩🇴 en naples Fl

God dam. Pick a volume dude. Your voice is quiet and the music dam near blows my speakers

that music is obnoxious .

Your editor needs to chill with the LOUD MUSIC. The levels should be same as your voice. This is a problem with every one of your videos.

Too much talking dude

Horrible. Hack amateur hour. Sorry to see so many people had to endure this. Have you ever actually built anything before? Aside from the fact you can't make videos or give clear instructions the entire idea of using containers to live in is absurd. METAL containers are horrible for many, many reasons. All containers are 8 feet wide - to that add insulation and framing and whatever else you plan on putting on the inside and you are down to under 8 feet wide. Have a look at a refrigerated container which is about 7 feet wide and you get a clearer picture. Better yet, have a look at a jail cell and you quickly realize how idiotic it is to try and use a container for living space. Containers were purpose built to be containers. When you start cutting walls and adding or subtracting things you weaken the structure. They do not breathe. They are metal and they will rust/rot. Running electrical is a joke. Running plumbing, ventilation, condensation on the inside of the container. Containers are NOT inexpensive! If you buy a used one ($2-3000) you can be assured that it has had toxic material in it during the average 20+ year lifespan. Buy one new and you are paying top dollar ($5-6000) for a metal box you plan on cutting up and redesigning. You could buy more than enough lumber and build the SAME square footage for a fraction of the cost of a bare container. Shipping them from point A to B is not cheap either. Very stupid idea. They are great for storing and shipping things overseas. Why not try that? Overall just a really dumb idea and video and poor presentation at that.
