Rebuilding After Arson With the Bluetti AC180 | Shipping Container Cabin 

Some/We don't like the sponsoring because it vandalizes our viewing experience by invading uninvited; firing us up to be burning mad. But hey Idaho, home of the Vandals. Go Vandals. Who likes to be vandalized? BTW, you are right, and it has been a long time since I last visited. Scale it back or make it more subtle ... or better yet contain the advert 100% inside a single "chapter" that we can choose to skip [a win, win, win] ... (i.e. 00:00 video begin, 02:33 BLUETTI advert begins, 05:14 advert ends, 14:16 annoying 2nd advert begins, 15:10 second advert ends.) Those that do not mind will watch straight through, those that do mind will skip and be happy to stay subscribed and stay tuned, sponsor should be happy because no one will be alienated and PO'd at them. Thank you for your empathetic understanding.

It is sad that you 2 have to rebuild your Cabin. Glad your are!

Paint that think white ASAP!! That will help with the inside temps!!! Looks good guys!

Good to see you working on the mountain top cabin and you took some good first steps today. I look forward to seeing this come together.

Never apologize. Great filming. Thank you for sharing. God bless you both.

Great way to do that window, more secure and weather proof.

Prayers 🙏🙏 for your luck with your cabin thank you for sharing. Have a great day.

You guys done a great job on the window, love the way you cut the wood on the top and bottom! I know it was a hot one, but working together it looked like it made it a breeze! Thanks for sharing the handywork!

Glad to see you made some good progress with this project 👏

You’re both so nice! I love how you work so respectfully together. Ignore the naysayers and don’t let their negativity get to you. There’s waaay more of us who admire and respect you and what you’re doing. You’re building a wonderful home for yourselves and at your age this escape ‘pod’ will be just the ticket. Big fan from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦👵🐶🥰

That is such a nice view from the mountaintop that it deserves a nice wood cabin -- insulate it for the winter. Nice big windows exposing those views and a porch with a canopy. That's a diamond location. The window frame is a stroke of genius.

and it look good again i glade you have some to work on that

Awesome stuff guys

Cool unit.

Liz is the best looking counterweight I've ever seen. Loved the framing idea for the window. Really makes the wood to metal sturdy. Hope you get to use the hilltop cabin now. Great video. Be safe. Till next time...

You did great 👍

💚 looks like someone was cold as in freezing n thought an indoor fire worked best or they were hiding n flushed themself out👻

I’m looking at the Bluetti EP900 for my Tiny House. But I think I need an in-line 220V to be able to use it always-on as a UPS backup between shore-power and my RV/Tiny House

Good job guys slow and steady you will win 🎉be careful and safe

It really sucks that someone decided to do all that to y’all. It’s also good to see y’all persevering and rebuilding. ❤ your channel. Liz you should get out the mason jar for the next live…😂🤣😂

The way you guys fabricated and installed the rough sill and header for the window looks very strong! So sad that someone vandalized your cabin, but you’ll fix it back up ; )

That will be really cute when you have it ready for people to stay in ,I think it should bring in a good bit of extra income if you decide it will be tented out to campers,,I'm looking forward to seeing you work on it,,,insalate it & get some AC goin before you burst into flames the heat has already turned you near fire red,,,lol,,,all jokes aside guy be safe in the heat ❤ the place ..all of it ..looks wonderful ❤😊

If you has a portable solar panel it plugs in the blueti and it would probably keep it close to 100% all day. We use one but ecoflow 24 7 with a portable solar panel and it keeps it all day and all night

Great job. Thanks for sharing. No need to apologize for the sponsorship!

I’d would have loved to see that Ac180 running a portable AC unit in there. 😀

I like this video

i'm so sorry about the vandalism. That really stinks. I like your window framing method for the container a lot. Best one I have seen. I'll throw out a thought - because the top and bottom horizontals are going to be exposed to rain, I'd make them out of PT lumber. Cutting a sill type slope on the outside top of the header might add some life too since there is no way to flash it. Nice job! 😊

I've been told u really need a vapor barrier in those containers as they sweat bad. The word is there is a special type barrier for them not to expensive

Have had BLUETTI, EP70S and AC200MAX, 1x 120W and 2x 200W solar panels since late Oct 2022. All very good. As of today I received delivery of my latest ordered items, a EP3A and a new released type AC60 units. Still waiting on a B80 power bank unit. The EP3A to have a small very portable power pack that is now actually virtually replaced by the new product AC60, but as it was also on EOYT special and I had planned on it for some time, just waiting on a discount price, bought it anyway. It is very compact and light, with 600W, or 1200W Power Lift resistive load mode AC. Capacity is more limited at 268.8 Wh compared to my older Bluetti units. The new AC60 while having same AC power levels 600W, /1200W, comes with greater battery capacity of 403Wh and two AC outlets, compared to one AC outlet on EP3A and only 268.8 Wh capacity But also can have up to two B80 power banks adding 806 Wh each, for max capacity to 2015 Wh total. HOWEVER it's main real boost for me is that it is IP rated as water and Dust proofed well very resistant, to rain/splash and dirt blowing around. So very well (best) suited for outdoor use in camping and travel. At 9.1 Kg/20.1 lb still very light, though a bit larger than the EP3A and near double the weight 4.6Kg/10.14 lb. I can only say I have been quite happy with the Bluetti units, compared to other company offers. I would not want LiIon batteries some others still use, for me, only accept LiFePO4 for greater safety, there are too many fires recorded by LiIon batteries on various products showing up

I've never seen a Prepper RU-vid Channel pushing a Solar Generator! This is awesome!

Hi from Sweden 😊

That cold in Texas 105 and high humidity

It`s Sad that your place was damaged by Assholes.....Best Wishes from N.E. Vermont

your messing up using o s b on the floor.its gonna collect moisture and come apart in less time than you think just saying

Due to the heat, maybe a portable shower company will offer you a product for your connex box cabin. ;/)

You’re gonna WANT to frame out the inside walls with at the very least 2x2’s for some sort of insulation.

That sucks. I just watched the episode of Homestead Rescue last week featuring you guys. Good luck on the rebuild, and hopefully something like this won't happen again. I don't understand why someone would do this to you.

Mike, are you familiar with O² concentrator and CPAP (medical equipment) my question is how long would the Bluetti keep it powered .equivalent of 2 5,000 btu window A/C units. I've been wondering if something like that would work for my application. I've gotta do something for emergency power

@10:10. Nice slide! 😅

Are you going to cover the glass window for safety?

Ya'lls closing comment about jumping into the creek...Heck ya just keep your duds dry (wink wink). Great video & thanks.

I’m excited for the new products that you and Liz introduce… helpful and fun for projects instead of using the MacGyver stuff from your Dads or family garage!

Don't you know, that their are people there that don't want you there. I hope you don't let it stop you

You don't know heat till you have to work in 100+ deg !!!

Shouldn’t you clean the walls before putting a floor down? Going to get messy. 😊

I'd paint the American flag on top of that thing.

@4:16, phone magically appears! 😮 😅

mike and liz I know you have been given a hard time about this blue eddy stuff and it's great that pay you but you're, 're not the only channel on youtube they doing the same thing so ya for 3 months now youtube has been using you guys for there adds I don't really care my self but I know to bother people and it's not you fault it's all the money from china where are made i thought you should know

🇳🇴👍

Not crazy about using screws on the outside to install the window. Too easy for someone to remove.😮

Awesome that you warn ppl about the sponsorship, although most of us get it. I actually have 2 units, both coded and saved $$ from channels i watch and enjoy. I still am waiting for a cabin code, or lumber code to save big bucks..lol 😂😅 Glad to see you back at the rooftop! Love ya'll ❤

Your channel is a business Mike and Liz. You do what you need to do to make it work. If the followers are "genuine" and "faithful" followers, they will stay, regaurdless of the sponsors that help you. I'm here to stay! Glad to see some progress on your vandalized container. Hope the "immature" vandle, who obviously could not face you and deal with his ill feelings, gets caught and "properly" dealt with. And... that was a very good way to deal with a container wall for the window. Well done!

👍🪻💜

I will add: I PREFER a “sponsored video” to random ads, however I agree make the sponsored ad in a contained time slot like you used to do. A commercial spot then be DONE with it and on back to the video, instead of making the entire video an ad.

HOW on earth would did vandals even KNOW ABOUT that place and HOW do they get up there undetected ???? Didnt you say its on top of a mountain ???? And who un their right mind us goung to stay in an AirB&B on a mountain with trains running through a tunnel under it ???? Am i missing something something here ???? REALLY !!!!

Hey y’all, love your channels. Remember, it is your channel, don’t worry about the jealous people that say hateful things. Have a sponsor is a blessing.

You've put your life on public display to get money to live on, you really don't get to dictate whether folks make positive or negative comments about that. You simply need to learn to take the good with the bad and learn how to grow from overcoming negativity. Using public exposure on YT, as the main source of your income may not be a suitable lifestyle for you guys. I cant see you gaining Sponsors from other businesses with an opening like that to the Bluetti. That attitude is def offence to anyone visiting. obn thi

Understand the reason for them but the constant "commercials" every week are a turn off.

You two are awesome and don’t let A**bags get to you!

1 John 5:19-20 King James Version 19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Gods blessings over you .

Sure, having sponsors is different from earlier videos; but I like to consider the products you share. Not like you are sharing face creams, nail polish remover, or similar. -ha

I just love info commercials

Nah it’s because of bluetti that you’re making bank. Do want floats your boat, but nobody likes a sell out.
