I love your videos. I was wondering about that Canadian guy preaching about never using wood inside a container, you just cleared that up for me. Thanks
That’s a great idea.!I’ve been meaning to do a video on air conditioning install and wiring but I’m just swamped with orders and short handed… I’ll get one out soon.
Great question. When I do the air conditioning install I cut a hole next to the air handler of the mini split and run all the electrical and plumbing through that hole. However, if you do any plumbing for toilets or anything that’s “trapped” like a sink, etc.. it’s easier to cut a hole down below the “septic” line and run everything thru that hole. Then I just run conduit and plumbing exposed along the walls… I’ll do a vid soon but I’m short handed and swamped with orders at the moment.
False. I have containers using this method located in “The Everglades” of Florida… arguably one of the most mold friendly areas of the world and if you properly seal the panels and wood as in this video, there is no more moisture accumulation than in a shed, barn, car, house, etc.. thus nothing for mold to thrive in. In addition, metal studs create a thermal bridge and will cause moisture, mold and rust. That’s right… rust… I will do a video of a 20 year old container soon to prove it.
Watch this vid… I swear by this product… grind off the rust and slap this on and it will not leak. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KGXkAP0cc2M.htmlsi=mUzaMIsADcx9-aTe
Hi thank you for this video. Can you tell me how thick the foam board insulation is you get? I see it comes in 1 inch, 1.5inch, etc. Which is optimal? Thank you
I'm looking for a material list as well so I can get accurate pricing locally. For a 20' standard height container, for just the lumber, I'm coming up with: 25 - 1x3, 6 - 2x3, 19 - 11/32 plywood. He said he used 22 of the foam insulation boards (I guess the extra is the strips he puts in the corrugated ribs). My issues is I can't find anywhere locally that has the 3/4" foam insulation boards. - Edit...I forgot to calculate for the doors... updated count.
You can install all this using what ever dimensions you want. Just simply measure and cut as you see fit. The “ribs” are 1x3’s and the “beams” are 2x3’s.
@@REVNUMANEWBERN yes… or you can use one thicker panel if you can find them at Home Depot… it’s just easier to double up than to source a thicker panel for me. Your situation may be different. The Home Depot often runs out of this product so you may have to improvise.
