I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

Re: rock in creek: it looks like the creek did not always run where the rock was and at some point the course of the creek changed (possibly due to the beavers). At one time the rock was covered with soil and trees. The course of the creek changed, and the rock became surrounded by water but the soil and the trees remain on top of the rock.

@BRPEngineering 3 года назад

And given the shape of the rock, I'd assume that it was a glacial erratic that got buried under all of the muck that settled out above it.

@alanviner3711 3 года назад

Great answer to his question, from the size of the rock I have to agree with you, with the damming the beavers did in the past it seems the natural answer..👍

@KThom429 3 года назад

He's standing in the wind as he asks the question. Wind blows loose soil onto the rock, animals can bring soil on their feet and in their fur or wings, others bring 'soil' from the creek bottom when they climb up. But, yeah, all these other answers are most likely a combined answer.

Shipping containers are perfect for dry secure storage. You will need every square inch when you begin your build. Don't waste your time improving the space. You have shown you have the skills to build much better structures for other purposes.

@Esteban_Herrera 3 года назад

The wife and I were thinking the same thing. Another thought is putting "The Mule" in wet will cause all kinds of condensation and rust all the tools. Not cool for The Mule as it cools water will ingress inti it's electrical too.

@markscheurich2196 3 года назад

A small room in the back that’s insulated, that you can heat easily would be smart. If your truck or SideXSide breaks down and you have no heat and have to wait for help, it might just save your life to have a safety shelter. Stocked with a small heater, maybe some canned food and water should be enough for emergencies. Plus if you set up enough room for fold down cots, perhaps a bit of solar for the heater, you could hunt out of it with a couple of people. The little room could also be used as a small office for the property with logging happening. The container is a great idea.

@360S0DJefferson 3 года назад

I'm with mark on this one. Plus, a small place to sleep if you decide to spend the night after working could be a very good thing.

@rocketsurgery8337 3 года назад

A side door and at least one window too.

@markscheurich2196 3 года назад

I would keep the entrance inside the unit and no windows, that way people and animals can’t get in easily. A small exhaust fan to exhaust bad air if you heat with anything but solar electric would be needed as well. They have some big, bad animals in those woods and the safety of the metal container is valuable against them, not to mention stray bullets from hunters as well. Plus if it looks like storage, it’s more then likely not going to raise suspicion to any curious eyes that might be around.

@rocketsurgery8337 3 года назад

@@markscheurich2196 that would be a death trap if there's a fire especially since they plan on parking their Mule at one end. There needs to be a wall that's fire rated and a means of egress per building codes.

@markscheurich2196 3 года назад

This was just an idea, not final planning on codes enforcement. If they’re inside, don’t park the Mule in it. My suggestion is only a few day or emergency shelter, if they’re living in it, that’s a totally different thing from what I’m talking about.

@LLjean-qz7sb 3 года назад

My father was a 40year mechanic, and he always taught me, if I had to add antifreeze to my radiator, always add it to the overflow tank, so you don't disrupt the pressure in the radiator every time you unscrew the radiator cap! Just a thought from experienced man! I think you should turn the back of the container into a small living area, somewhere to get in out of the cold! Not for long term living! God Bless!

I would wall off and insulate the back 12’, build in bunk beds at the end with storage shelf on top, put in small woodstove, table n chairs and couch. Door in the new wall of course. Between that space and the garage space I would put a chop saw station, workbench, tool storage and materials storage, and wire it up thru the wall to connect to generator outside the container. Rent a 500 gal propane tank and install it near container and use a propane powered generator. Can also use propane heater in “living” area if you dont want the woodstove.Maybe get a propane fridge out of an old RV, too.

Good morning Lumnah family. That shipping container was a brilliant idea! We considered renting one the year we moved to the farm. No windows. No vandals . Materials safe and dry. Since you own it, that back half could have a wood stove, work & living area.Tiny house :-) You are starting the New Year out on some very good footing!

@geraldcross2866 3 года назад

28 degrees in Amarillo. Wind 9 miles per hour wnw. Unless the mule is running hot, I would quit worrying about it for a few weeks and then check coolant level. There is a multitude of possibiities for the container. Al is baiting us with anticipation. I'll bet he has it all worked out in his head. Love watching your show first thing in the morning. Thanks for your efforts!

@50ShadesOfBeige 3 года назад

Insulate the back half of the container and have fold out bunk beds. Leave a camp kitchen and seating so that you've got emergency accomodation in case of rain/snow. Also put a fold out lean-to on the front side so you got outside cover as well.

Al, concerning the SeaContainer ... your level was indicating 1”in 4’... that’s a 10” difference +/- across the entire 40’... make sure to get enough blocks to make the difference plus you may want to support the middle on the sides so that all that weight isn’t on the 4 points...

Also Empty containers of the high cube variety can weigh as much as 8,800 pounds, so hopefully AL adjusts accordingly when jacking up the container.

@garymixson687 3 года назад

Got one just like her. Ribs on room run side to side. Dents on roof allow water to stand. Hammer out if possible...I built walls and pushed roof to slightly bow for run off. Then before I painted it I applied a good coat of POR 15 to all rusty areas inside and out for added protection. A slight tilt on the side may allow run off but some dents may not allow runoff. Fill blocks with concrete to make leveling blocks and use small solids for tops.

@donbowersock9564 3 года назад

What ever you decide to do with the container plan on having the door open . They're not made to open from the inside . Also when you open the door to go in , hang the handles up . If you leave them part way unlatched the wind can catch the door and lock you in .

We have two containers on our off grid property. The first one is full of my husbands tools and houses the tractor. Then the second holds our household goods.

So you could put bunk beds for you to stay there overnight. So exciting to watch you new adventure.

Gooooooood mornin. That container is a great idea. My guess about that rock would be that the soil and forest were built up before that creek ran through there and when it finally did flow around that rock, which was a high spot, it washed away the soil to that point leaving those trees high and dry. Also, that curry looked so good.

Think you might get a surprise when you come to level up your container.You said that it was an inch low at the back but that was based on the length of your level, a four foot one by the looks of it. So on a forty foot container you need to multiply that by ten. Hope you've got a good jack!!

Hi there You can make a funnel from a water bottle. Put it in the radiator opening hold it tight and poor some antifreeze. Run the engine to make the liquid circulate and all the air trapped in the system will come out because the level it the bottle will be higher. You will loose some antifreeze but you will solve this problem once and for all.

@peterhopkins7505 3 года назад

Put in a partition about 18ft from back, put in three bunks and a wood stove and in the back wall of garage shelves for tools, a bunk room would make life more flexible, and a source of hot drinks and hot food. Spray foam ceiling to stop condensation. In there locate a tank for drinking water, then a chicken tractor so you have fresh eggs if you stay overnight. Fun fun fun.

They have a farm full of animals that need tending to daily. Who’s looking after those if they sleep in this shipping container? Also, word to the wise, shipping containers have no ability to be opened from inside. Until that’s dealt with I wouldn’t have everyone inside at the same time even for a few seconds. A stiff gust of wind could snap the door shut and it would be basically impossible to get out. Cellphones won’t really work in that poor-man’s Faraday Box when the doors closed either. Pretty unpleasant coffin for this nice family....

@MacBailey 3 года назад

I have had two of those containers that exact size for 17 years now. Your container is in better shape than mine started out. I lined one side with shelves and use it for secure storage. A few years ago I used Unistrut bolted to the sides to make a frame for holding solar panels and have my solar system mounted to the top of them. Mine are set side by side about 12 feet apart and I just put a flat roof between them and use the space to park the mower and tractors under partial cover. I would consider using railroad tie or old phone poles under the ends. The weight can crush the concrete blocks especially onec they are full. I also had difficulty jacking them. I ended up using an 8 ft 4x4 under the roof edge on top of a hydraulic bottle jack set on a small pad to jack the corners up. Certainly the quickest way to get some secure storage when you have the space like you do.

Containers are awesome as an instant garage for a fraction of the price of a stick built. Dry and secure.

Be sure to block the container with 16"x16" block pads on all 4 corners and center on both sides. I actually have mine blocked with 8 piers and strapped to auger type 4' anchors. Good buy! You'll not regret it.

I can see a small "living" and garage space. It can be a wonderful Camper space with your Talents at trimming out a room! 🙏🏻😎👍❣️ Gina and Olivia this will make a super camper space and garage. Al can cut a service door into the back half for an easy entrance, a window or two and some heat!

Double ended doors would have made it easier to do what you wanted. Instant homes are made the way you like.👍

@Dan-oz4qb 3 года назад

A man door is better on the back end as it's much easier to open and not hard to install.

Lovely meal! Ingredients with so much history, not only delicious but healing for your body and soul! That's what I used to tell my only son growing up, even sometimes talk about the culture and history of it's origins. Thank you for sharing Gina!

The front half of the off grid container is great for converting to a place to warm up, eat and sleep. I'm thinking of a hunting weekend. A moose is a lot of work to process. Having a container cabin is great for the off grid. I know you will transform it into a cozy comfortable place. All the best. Is it just me or is Olivia getting taller by the day!!

@cheekymonkey666 3 года назад

ive bought a few of these and the 20ft containers, the 20ft i like more because of the way i can move them from site to site with the truck or skid, for me they dont lose value, especially if you paint them up before resale, one i cut up and widened for the outdoor garage for the skid and other machinery for the estate... the 40ft-ers i repaired painted and sold on...

@msailor476 3 года назад

What is the price on both ? Thanks

@cheekymonkey666 3 года назад

@@msailor476 depends on condition you want them, cheapest i bought was scrap value, if you want it for living in then you want a clean looking one pre painted but that costs more, just a basic scratched ruff looking one with dents and holes you can pay between 1k and 3k anything up to 18k with built in windows and doors... heating etc etc... got to shop around a bit to get a good deal... you can also contact the owners of containers enquire if they got some unused smashed up ones that could be fixed... most auction them off or sell them to a certain company to refurbish them

A chicken curry is always wonderful. The back half of that shipping container would be wonderful as a campout cabin, a window or two, a wood stove, table, chairs, sofa and some bunks, it would be useful as a camp out and warm up shelter when you have the coldest weather and deep snows of winter. ❤👍

@agnestakacs2059 3 года назад

That was so cool on how they unloaded the shipping container! I seriously thought u guys might make a home out of a shipping container. It’s been done before by many especially on that tiny homes show. Maybe u could convert it into a giant freezer for meat storage too 😊👍

@praiseyethelord7121 3 года назад

Al, I would put a tiny wood stove in the back with maybe a bunk bed. Place a solar panel to get some electric. This would give you a way to hunt there and give the girls a place to get warm while working in the winter.

Put a stick built roof, using 4x4 or 6x6 alongside of the container and so many feet away from the side. This allows you to use the top of container for storage on the property. Also if you put a second door under the roof rafters, it won't allow water inside

I’m guessing you’ll be making an off grid cabin. I can’t wait to see it.

Hey Al whatever you do with the conex you should consider cutting some kind of ventilation maybe in the side back end for cross ventilation of vapors, CO etc.

Back half. Insulation, wood-burning stove, Solar for some batteries, and make it a workshop. You can probably get enough power for lights and battery power. It can also be an emergency shelter on your land. If the truck fails and it is you are stuck it would be a warm dry place to wait until the weather clears or help comes. So workshop and shelter if needed.

Hello Jim .... I got to visit Inverness and some of the surrounding countryside back in the 80's. Drove there from RAF Upper Heyford. I really loved going by Loch Tay, Lomond, and Ness.
