OFFICIALLY DRIED IN | Off Grid Shipping Container Cabin 

Those babies are not phone zombies, they are outside kids...playing outside, having adventures. So good to see.

The door hinges are supposed to be on the inside of the building that way no one can knock the pins out to get in your house

I'm a crafter...first thing I thought of, is using the taller trim on the back door as a canvas. Paint words or a design on it. In creating, you turn an oops into something else you hadn't thought of lol.

congratulations you got a door that fits 😀

What u need is a 12,000btu portable Air Conditioner to temporarily cool off the inside of the container to help make it more bearable in the crazy heat

Why not wait and finish inside after you've moved. Even slight racking and jostling means potential for cracked wall, pressure on pvc leading to leaks later. Just don't see why take the risk. That's a steep narrow driveway on the new property. Just that section alone seems rugged and risky.

Cam and Bo are such beautiful babies. I still remember when my girls and 3 grandkids were that little. Miss them at those ages. Now I'm just an old grandma but have enjoyed my life's journey. Hope to see those babies grow up as much as all of mine.

I really love the green on it! Very sharp!

Will you be able to transport with windows intact? Up the hill with branches in the roadway? I hope so. It will be a great cabin in the mountains. Congratulations.

It looks like the doors are installed backwards. The hinges should be inside. The way it is, it is a major security issue. We've watched you guys from the beginning of your main home. Love watching you guys learn and grow along the way.

You are so lucky to do what you do. Spencer is Jack of all trades. Also handsomely eyecandy 😊😊😊😊

Open the windows to let air vent through the cabin.

I had to stay out of the wood shop because of the excessive heat here in N Louisiana. It didn't rain here for 9 weeks. We have areas on the property that is actually black after the rain.

The door was installed backwards. It should open in and hinges should be inside the cabin.

I can't believe how big Cam and Bo is getting. It's so nice to see them playing together outside. Spencer can't wait for the finish.🇬🇧🇯🇲

Your kids are Hollywood beautiful. That snippet of the video, where your daughter is driving with a big smile and your son is being chauffeured, as he stares-off into the distance... Is priceless !!

Home is home. A room for everyone. Lots of space for play and walk arounds. Closer to civilization and conveniences - tools, equipment, water, power options, coking and washing. Finally weather, less rain and mud.

That door was what nightmares are made of, and then you wake up and all is well. I hate the music, it tells me the video is coming to an end. How is your water supply holding up? Stay safe, love to you all from Mike. ❤

I would be cautious about how you move the cabin, once completed, onto and off of the transport trailer. It likely has lost some of its structural integrity with all the window and door openings despite the added opening framing. With all the added weight of the interior build out, it may not be wise to crane rig it onto a trailer without using some type of rigging assembly with spreader beams that ensure the lifting force is directed upward on the containers corners versus inwards which at worse may collapse it or at best break much of your windows and doors. Please consult a crane and rigging professional. Congrats on “Door #4”! 😉. Hopefully getting gravel laid on the mountain lane soon so it can pack and settle before sending a semi trailer up it. Dump trucks may get stuck too. Might have to get a load or two dumped at the bottom and bucket a thin layer on any questionable areas. All the best.

Looks great, love watching you guys ever since day one, respect from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧🙏

It's looking fabulous! Quick question, Why did you install the door opening out instead of the normal inward? I know in coastal areas like Florida you do this for hurricanes, etc. Also, I know you are in the woods and all but wouldn't you want the hinges to be on the inside for security reasons? I mean, you can remove the pins of the hinge and take the door off right? It's just an observation, I guess living in Houston you learn to look for safety precautions... Thanks for sharing your lives with us and welcome home!

Looking great! Just wondering, did you want to have the cabin door open outward instead on inward ? Not as secure that way. Just pop the pins out and you are in...

You should push the door to the top to make up space for your flooring love the channel thanks for letting us be part of your life

Still watching 6 years later, nothing you two cant do... proud of u! Looking great!!!! ❤

I literally need more than 12 minutes of your week 😊

HELLO 🤗 The outside of the cabin is so pretty - looking forward to seeing the inside transformation 😉 Beau & Cam have such a good time together 🥰 maybe could hook up their car to mower & pull them around if would work til get battery 🤔 have a great weekend 🙏🇺🇲💖

Awe your sweet babies taking turns pushing each other...they are adorable...your cabin is looking good

They make adapters for the battery powered toy cars so you can use your DeWalt / Milwaukee/ etc power tool batteries. Pretty neat idea.

I'd put a barrier around the bottom of your new project to prevent snake from getting underneath 😮 Love your projects

Can’t wait for the cabin relocation, please have a new generator for the relocation for your convenience. Have you considered a tractor mounted generator? Also consider building a storage building on site before your relocation.

The snapshot of your babies on the toy tractor melted my heart so much tears ran out of my eyes. Thanks for sharing your family. So many wish to be able to do what you both have done so far and yet to come together. 🎉

I love variety, thank you for sharing. I also live in Alaska in Fairbanks and love the information you share.❤❤

Camping is fun but home is always better

I hope you don't have problems moving the cabin. It has a completely different load stress configuration now. There will be massive amounts of rattling and bumps on the way to it's new home. Best wishes.

Good to see you made it home safely. Hey, the door worked and right style. Miracles to happen. Beau and Cam are growing so fast and they both enjoy the outdoors. They seem to take care of each other. Time for some rain, I imagine your water supply is running low. Ah, yes, it is also time to think about preparing for winter!! As always you're in my prayers. Be safe and stay healthy.

Looking beautiful. Spencer does the most beautiful work.

On the subject of being “finicky”, it would be nice if the top of the door lined up with the top of the windows.

👏🏻👏🏻 Another great achievement and Thank You for sharing, love the kids pushing each other in their car - very cute. Take Care & well done on the Cabin getting to lock up. 🎉🎉🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️🇦🇺

That top door trim would look nice from where I'm at If it had been the same height as the windows beside it. But then I'm in the middle of the Pacific.

Im uber curious about what the ponds looking like now

I have never ever commented before and I've watched for a bit. I recently came across a water trapping system in the arid areas of Peru where they put up mesh nets to catch morning dew. The attaches to the mess and gravity pulls it down to pvc pipes that then run in to drums. I saw it and though hmm maybe you could look it up and see if it works for you when the dry season hits.

it's been three years and I am still watching your content religiously. You're videos have gotten better and better every year!!! I wish Spenser taught classes I would defiantly fly down to TX take a course on sustainable building.

First things first. The kids are too cute to be true.❤ Your cabin is looking great. Can't wait to see you move it and finish it out. Looks like the land and the cabin are going to be a great getaway. Best of luck.

What are your long range plans for the property?

# 1 for the day . . . From Brasil

Looking great. Love it.

I wish the videos were longer than 12 minutes, 3 years ago they were.

I love the colour of the cabin. That will blend in perfectly in the mountains.

After all that, it’s looking great!

I was just going to say that this would be great for the new property until you are ready to move the house etc and would probably be more comfortable than the camper

Love what you're doing.❤ Every girl needs a Spencer 12:01

the cabin is transforming nicely👌💯

Will you be making any longer videos ? 12 minutes goes by so fast. Thanks for sharing with us

I enjoyed today’s vlog each vlog the cabin is looking better and better.

Love love love watching you guys! It makes me smile every time to see your projects and your babies playing underfoot! Thank you for sharing your life!

glad y'all made it home safely and finally got the right door for the back & all dried in 🙂 can't wait til y'all start hanging drywall & all 💖 hugs to the kids can't believe how fast they are growing seems like they were both just born yesterday 💕

Job well done!😁. It’s looking Good!🥰. I see that 1.44 million!😁. Beau and Cam are Beautiful!🥰. Spencer, with all the trouble with the door, I just know you probably could of built it yourself, because you’re a Genius!🙌🏼😁. Is that another shipping container in the background?!😲🤣. Have a Blessed🕊weekend!💖

Thanks for sharing the update on the work on the new tinny country house ! 👍👍

I absolutely love the colors you all have chosen.

LOOKS AWESOME GREAT JOB🤷‍♀️❤️💯

Good afternoon from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The side door project turned out great. 🇺🇸

Such a beautiful family, may God bless and keep you! I love the way you guys build. Great job on everything! You guys need to build a storm cellar next, as you live in Texas... just thinking about your safety.

Oh that cabin is going to be so great for your family. It is I’ll be so fun to watch your journey building it out and getting it up to the land.

Love to watch your video's. Bo & Cam are always on the go with each other, they make a perfect " brother & sister " couple to say the least. Glad that you make it back home okay from the Mnt's now it's time to fix the children's car if possible & get the cabin moved to the Mnt's . David B. , Utah .♥♥♥.

Beautiful couple 🎉

Hey girly!! Me from Cape Coral Florida!! What I like about your husband is he never gives up until he gets it just like it’s supposed to be no matter how many times it’s going to be or how frustrating he does it right! I love the way it looks the windows make it very unique I like the color of the trim. I love the windows. NICE!!! y’all are really going to enjoy this cabin in your new place of residency up in the mountains. It’s going to really be nice so happy for y’all got is really bless you and your family and y’all are so young.❤

Dried in is good! I love the color of the door. You guys always come up with creative ways of fixing things. How is the lack of rain impacting your water supply? When the interior is finished it will be a cool get away.

Good morning from The deep woods of Northern Ontario Canada! It’s beautiful on the mountain! Reminds me of home!

I miss your longer video format. Still great content though. Love you guys ✌️💚

We always look forward to your videos! ☕️🇨🇦☕️

Cabin looks fantastic, love all the choices you have made. Glad you finally got the door sorted out. Your two kids are little cuties!! 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

Fun tip - you can adapt that power wheels toy to run on your Dewalt 20v batteries. With a voltage regulator in line you can choose between "fun" and "really fun".

Great save on the door and frame! A lot of people would have thrown their hands in the air and given up. You are persistent!! You accomplish things, great and small!

Soooo glad for you that the door debacle was resolved. The wider depth of the wood above the door looks fine & if you put an outside light on it, it would even look deliberate x

Wow you guys are amazing and I love your container cabin 😊😊😊❤❤❤

You guys are definitely indomitable, and almost invincible! Watching your dream unfold right before our eyes is surely a feast to behold. May the Force be with you always!

May I suggest, before you move the conex : would be better too; complete the electrical, and plumbing, and the spray foam, then move it. This will make it easier, and as it flexes down there, you won't have too touch up cracks in the drywall. Have a good week and count your blessings amen.

Great progress on the cabin y'all! And such lovely kids - Beau's growing up to be a looker, just like her Mama! 🙂

Once you are living in the cabin on the new property are you going to move your current house there in pieces? Are you building a brick and mortar house with a foundation or a completely new shipping container house?

Congratulations your project is moving along. You can get cabin fever trying to live in a small place. I commend you both for even trying. But you're making a bold move. Going for your dreams. Kenzie go thru tax records and I would bet you can find out who the previous owners were and some great stories about how they came about the property in the mountains. I called one of the previous owners who owned our property and it was quiet a story.

Spencer deserves a medal for his efforts

I love how it all looks now, the fact you have created a home out of shipping containers is amazing! Your idea of doing these containers could be the answer to the housing crisis around the world! They could be fitted out by a charity organisation and shipped to where they are needed, so many people have lost there homes due to fire or flooding or even earthquake's. There are so many empty and even abandoned containers in ports around the world. The governments around the world should see how you've made your home and create more! Sorry if I'm ranting but people are suffering and this could be an affordable answer!

Everytime with the music!😪😢😭 Glad you were able to relax. The cottage looks perfect!

Outstanding progress on your shipping container-turned-cabin!!! 🥰🎶😎🏡🐕🐕🥰🤗🤗

Woohoo!!!! The best is yet to come guys.

oh my goodness, the door is beautiful, but the children are more beautiful!❤️😘🥰🚪

Happy you got back home safely 🎉. Best wishes getting the cabin finished. The children have resettled nicely back at home, bless them with their toys. Good job getting the door finally sorted out, it looks good. Take care and safe🙋🏡🎉🎉

The container is coming along nicely and I look forward to following you finishing it out. Have a great week and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

Hola familia!!!❤❤❤According to Feng Shui, (eastern philosophy for prosperity) doors should never open outwards, the correct thing is that they open inwards.

Love your videos. The two of you are amazing. Your children are so adorable.

I cannot wait to see the next series of your shopping container and how it turned out.✨⭐️

Beautiful. I almost look forward to these problems because of the creativity of Spencer in problem solving. I do have one question: If it's over 100 degrees fahrenheit, why is Spencer wearing that long sleeved top with a hoodie. He must be sweltering. By the way, your kids are just wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing you get that container up the road to the mountains.

Been watching your channel for years and love watching you guys! Have you guys thought about moving the cabin to your mountain property? Just a thought. Thank God the door is finally installed. I was beginning to think not again 😕 keep up the good work and videos 😊

Fill that gap at the top of the door with spray foam to insulate that opening and plug it completely. Just my two cents worth of advice.

PLEASE paint the door black to match the trim. I usually don't tell people how to do their own likes. Welcome home. One day you'll love being at your new property. I know you appreciate the Land. It's an amazing BLESSING. See ya soon.

That mud-dobber nest DOES CERTAINLY look like artwork. However to make it last without crumbling away, you would undoubtedly need to spray it with laquer, perhaps even after that when the outside film has dried, dip it in lacquer and let the excess drain out.

I'm considering setting this as my phone's wallpaper for daily cheer!

It's all coming together. Looks great.

Looking great and how did those sweethearts get big so fast They are growing like weeds. Man alive! Cute as cute can be and they are growing up like mine did, in the country and best friends and playmates. Fresh air...............it's all wonderful. Blessings

FYI , all outside doors open in.Your hinge pins should not be on the outside so an intruder can’t pop out your pins and enter your home. Plus they open in because if it snowed a lot , you would not be able to open your door from the inside. Plus , from the outside the door is supposed to be on the inside of the door box. in hindsight, you may have had the correct door from day one. Ps , I still do love watching you guys.
