This is magical, seriously. Been plotting doing very similar, had my own ideas and you were nailing them left and right, making me feel more justified that I'm not quite so crazy. You even have the same welder I've been using for my furniture designs that Id be using on the containers. Amazing!
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. We're looking to do similar, and seeing someone else's progression (and a little bit of the "how to") is super useful!
Incredible amount of work you put in! Also much appreciated is the hours of video you took and the editing involved. Very interesting to watch, thanks for taking us on your home buidling journey!
I hope you’re making a continuation video for this build. You show the end result, but there’s so much more to cover! Thank you, this has helped me understand the work involved with building a container home. Do you have any videos about stacking containers for a home?
This was a great series -- watched a bunch as you came out with the videos. Thanks for making it! Very cool how u modeled and edited in SketchUp as you encountered issues/changes. The state/price of housing is tough for the working/middle class so hopefully zoning will change to allow more builds like this. Cheers brotha
You made yourself quite a cozy home. I’ve loved the idea of making a home out of containers. It makes it budget friendly. I’ve seen people weld I-beams on top of the containers to make a pitched roof to shed water and snow (depending where you live). I’ve even seen where foam insulation was added on both the inside and the outside walls to increase the R-value by reducing heating and cooling costs. The other nice thing about containers, is that you can stack them any way you want to or as high as you want to. You did a fabulous job.
@Lifelong Lesson as long as everything meets code, you shouldn’t have a problem. You can bury the containers to create your basement, you’ll just have to waterproof them first, but yeah, you can set them side-by-side, stack them on top of each other, set them end-to-end. If you know how to weld, that makes it even better. If you’re wanting to set them side-by-side, weld them together. If you want to expand your space, take a grinder with cutoff wheels, and cut the sidewalls out. If you still have questions about your build, there’s KZclip videos that take you through the process. I hope this helps and answers your questions. Just be careful of the Taxman.
@Lifelong Lesson Yes you could do that, I believe you would need to add a strut support, example from the i-Beam to the floor as the container walls are not strong enough on their own. Im not a contractor so if I use the wrong terms apologies.
I'm considering building something like this, and you just gave me a great idea! Regarding the I-Beams: couldn't someone just slice the top off the containers and then attach wooden 2x4s (extending the frame, basically) to not only create a pitched roof, but to also add another level?? And if that were to work out, what about codes and permits (United States - NJ specifically)? Because if that can all fly, I might end up going that route. My first idea was to build a small cottage with a basement from scratch... But lately I've been thinking that maybe I should just purchase the land, get two or so shipping containers, and convert them into one small cottage. Once that small home is finished, then I want to build the actual rest of the house around it (think of it like adding addition after addition/adding a room or two (or a certain amount of space) at a time. Kind of like a home that'll be a constant work in progress for around 5 or more years. I wonder if I can pull that off. Time will tell. And thanks for that idea!
Thank you so much for such a detailed and candid video of your container home journey. Truly inspirational. One aspect i'm struggling to find much information on is the stages of permitting and inspection. Was your site inspected once the foundation was formed? At what point(s) are further inspections required? I'd love to be able to estimate the offsite costs (admin, permits, soil tests etc) But as an Englishman living in California i;m a little clueless to US protocol. Thanks again, your home looks wonderful.
Just came across this channel and watched the whole build ect. You did a great job my man, congrats. I've been looking at videos of shipping container homes lately and this is the route I wannt to take when I leave NYC for Florida too. I want to do Homesteading as well.
Wow! Amazing work great job you should be proud of what you have accomplished to do it basically by yourself and from what you said it being your first time makes it even more of an achievement!
I appreciate all of your great work! Love those multiport manifolds for the pex. All of it! Great welding too! Planning on perfection! Way to go! Super Super work!!! Where is this house located? Hope it’s not near the flood zones. Like Florida etc. I hope you really love your home forever.
I saw one build where the angle iron window frame stuck out further on top and bottom, and they bent those portions further to shed water away from the house.
I wish I could have seen the electrical part! Love the way you broke down the plumbing. I would prefer that than the storing the wood part lol. Amazing job thanks for this video. 😊
I thought the containers needed thorough rust stop and seal inside and out. And also, those back doors to the containers could have been fantastic secure shutters if the interior design had been reworked to have sliding glass doors there.
Lovely, amazing! I truly appreciate your work and ideas! Yet if I were you I've definitely put a window in the bathroom, too. Out of wood or whatever, but to have a window for the bathroom is a must. Lovely work! Congrats to you! It's your beauty! 🤗
This is inspirational and I'd love to build a family cabin on our country property. One thing I think I'd change is, I'd build separate sewer lines for toilets from the rest, that way I could use the waste water from sinks and showers to save in water barrels to use in my garden.
Forgive me if this is not a good question asni have absolutely zero experience in such matters...but it would seem to me that using drainage water from showers, (given all the chemicals, artificial coloring, scents, heavy metals, etc., in common soaps, shampoos, conditioners, not to mention the heavy chemicals such as bleach from cleaning agents commonly used to clean showers), may not be the ideal water source to use in your garden, or plants in general, correct?
make sure to put a good amount of insulation between the waterlines and the outside metal wall as it will freeze in winter as the steel makes it worse, i had this problem in my container hm and that was in las vegas where winters are nothing.
Wonderful Work! Congratulations your Home Is Beautiful! I love the open concept! Those twin sliding doors, the huge bathroom! Rally Good! I enjoyed walking along with you and helpers it felt like I was there! Whew! That was a workout all while sitting at home lol🤣 Tyfs!👏🏾👏🏾💯❤😁😁😁
Kudos to your friend/family member who worked his butt off, along side you, throughout this project (got a few years on you too!). You should add a Special Thank You at the end of this video.
Knocking that last window out and you standing there looking around was pretty funny. Thinking hard about doing this. Just bought some land in Florida and we want to put 2 single family homes on it. Going to talk to my son in law about this. Will get back to you. Great video.
58:17 the small piece of 3/4 of an inch pipe connecting the two 1/2 inch pipes is going to affect the water pressure taking account of the Venturi effect, but I believe only slightly. So not much of an issue. Otherwise the trick you pulled was very intelligent (that's the whole point of innovative engineering, being able to improvise), given the fact that you didn't have any other choice. All in all a very well documented build! Congratulations for your efforts both in putting the personal work to achieve such a high level result and for doing all the research and planning by yourself! Kudos and wish many more projects like these for people that want to think and live out of the box! My regards from Greece
Yeah I had looked into that extensively and couldn't find anything saying it would cause an issue. So far water pressure in the house has been great so....
I just binged watch your whole channel and I enjoyed the details of all of your summary videos, which was great. Not so much the live streams and hard to watch the nothing parts. Thank you for your investment.
Great job!!! Greetings from the Philippines! I love your planning and preparations and your work generally. I got a question though... you've cleared out all the rusts on top and sides, but what about underneath? I saw a lot of surface rusts there while you are talking about the plumbing.
Alex I agree about the bottom rust, a rust preventative is a must if he is anywhere near the ocean or possibly (?) high salt content in the sand all depending on his location along Gulf Coast. White sand. And especially in the Philippines. Where I am in Initao it's rained for a month straight pretty much. CDO and Cebu have been clobbered. I've been looking into container homes for years and its down to that or Autoclaved Airated Concrete (AAC). More flexibility with AAC and cheap labor.
Extra ordinary work buddy. Keep it up. Waiting to see more of these videos. I was worried as i saw many bad reviews on container houses. But with this video I feel better ;) keep it up....
Hello there. I'm impressed with the building. I thought about doing something like that. I became homeless after the foot and mouth academic. I finished up buying a static and putting a tin roof on stations and lagged it.
Hi, first of all, congratulations on the house, it's really beautiful! second and consult, how did you treat the joints of the containers on the outside so that no water enters?
Hi good job! Can you put a second level on top later in life 3 more containers if needed? Could the foundation you have used hold the weight? Love from the uk grate job
Great video! I may have missed it, but how did you connect containers to foundation? I hope to do this one day but it will be in a area that has hurricanes. Any suggestions for foundation securing?
Go to "the container guy". There is a video on connecting 2 - 40'ers. But overkill as they have tons of snow to deal with but lots of good info for you to come up with your own plan. This design with 16 footers will alleviate the bottom sagging TCG is worried about. TCG steel plates on bottom are great idea for less footers and less complicated for alignment. Costs difference?
@Think Outside The Container It looks like Florida, so you would have wind codes to deal with I guess. I am thinking to put 2 20' containers together in Tennessee, I think they have Meth codes.
Great job man, precise satisfactory execution and great explanation, filming and editing 👍 I have three questions if you would: 1) Why putting all these double joists in the roof from inside while you are bearing weight on? 2) Did you think of solar system or windmill to self suffice for electricity? Question came to mind when I saw you are water self sufficient already 👍 3) what's your state? Or, how cold it gets in winter? Thank you very much for sharing 😀 🙏🌺🌿
Hey Chris, I've sent you a couple emails hoping for your assistance on building a 3D model for my container design. Are you still taking on work? If not no worries.
WOW great job. I really like how you beefed up the ceiling rafters. You wouldn't really want a multi-port with an input of less that 3/4" All supply lines are either 3/4" or 1" Also I do not know where you are located with weather, but you generally do not put plumbing on an external wall. So now since you have hopefully you are definitely going to insulate the crap out of it. Looks GREAT!!!
Waoooo les quedó hermosa,me encantó,ese es mi sueño tener una casa echa de contenedores y en un lugar hasi de hermoso como ese con muchos árboles,los felicito,que la disfruten bendiciones,los veo desde Puerto Rico.💕🙏👏👏
Awesome. How did you weather seal your angle iron/openings for windows and doors? I see the spot welds but it doesn't look like you welded around the entire angle iron frame.
@Marcus B 👍 Epoxy's perfect for water working rooms! 🤗 For the rest of it doesn't look quite cossy, I think. I wonder if does it fit well also with a heating system in the floor ?
@Think Outside The Container Quick question if you don't mind. I did epoxy on a 20' office I made and it was reasonable budget wise. How much epoxy did you use for those floors because that's a much larger project.
There was a house made from old school portables, in the town of Waubaushene, ON. A few years later by adding different rooms the house didn't look like a school house at all.
This was a great watch, shame interior design and electrical installation was skipped I guess. But overall the sense of accomplishment must be overwhelming!
As the build progressed 3 factors contributed to me filming less and less of the process over time: my dad (who helped a lot) often got annoyed by me filming, but I didn't mind doing the double work of building AND filming, still my filming of the project got stifled and disrupted because I didn't want to bother my dad, so I lost motivation to capture the whole build since I was already missing parts of it. The second reason was the county deadline for the building permit to expire, so getting the house built quickly yet properly became more important than filming. Lastly, pure exhaustion, by the time I finished the build I was pretty exhausted, contributing to me not filming much in the last few months.
This is magical, seriously. Been plotting doing very similar, had my own ideas and you were nailing them left and right, making me feel more justified that I'm not quite so crazy. You even have the same welder I've been using for my furniture designs that Id be using on the containers. Amazing!
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. We're looking to do similar, and seeing someone else's progression (and a little bit of the "how to") is super useful!
Incredible amount of work you put in! Also much appreciated is the hours of video you took and the editing involved. Very interesting to watch, thanks for taking us on your home buidling journey!
absolutely lol
@Think Outside The Container You're a very talented dude! Did you factor in curvature in your plans? lol. Wishing you great success!
Good point lol. Recording the whole project was a whole other layer of work on top of the house build itself. Double work.
When he said “Yessss” after cutting this first window I felt it in my spirit!!!!! Crazy with the windows cut I can see it come together!!
I hope you’re making a continuation video for this build. You show the end result, but there’s so much more to cover! Thank you, this has helped me understand the work involved with building a container home. Do you have any videos about stacking containers for a home?

I really appreciate you showing these steps I’m getting started for this and I see how much has to be done but we’re prepared for this journey
I think I would have been better if you used aluminum framing it's a bit cheaper also great job doing it on your own!
I'm a carpenter and love watching new building techniques. Recycling and building new homes. Well done young man. Enjoy your new home.
This is absolutely incredible and impressive. You demystified every step. Good job.
You have mad skills. I wish I could hire you when I am able to build one of these.
Excellent work in building the house, editing, filming your journey. This is very inspiring! Thank you for sharing this.
👍👍

Bit of a missed opportunity to show the inside of the building process. Having said that, for a first timer you’ve done an amazing job. Well done
AWESOME . . . I am absolutely excited to see shipping containers repurposed for home use!
My goodness, not only is he an awesome builder, he is a fabulous TEACHER!
I saw one build where the angle iron window frame stuck out further on top and bottom, and they bent those portions further to shed water away from the house.
I wish I could have seen the electrical part! Love the way you broke down the plumbing. I would prefer that than the storing the wood part lol. Amazing job thanks for this video. 😊
Great stuff! What did you use to seal the exterior walls with?
Really appreciate the descriptions and explanations. Getting ready to do pretty much same project someday soon...
Thank you so much. The details were SO helpful and you're ability to explain down to the basics but very concisely are great for people like me :-)a
What you guys created is very fascinating, great job
I thought the containers needed thorough rust stop and seal inside and out. And also, those back doors to the containers could have been fantastic secure shutters if the interior design had been reworked to have sliding glass doors there.

This is awesome. You should use the roof as well.. like a little outdoor pergola or something along those lines.. little get together place..
You do such careful and precise work. Very impressive.
also known as 'measure twice; cut once'.
Nice work. Love the whole process. Looks great. Nicest I’ve seen yet.
This is inspirational and I'd love to build a family cabin on our country property. One thing I think I'd change is, I'd build separate sewer lines for toilets from the rest, that way I could use the waste water from sinks and showers to save in water barrels to use in my garden.
@Jason Gelb you would use green products for this very purpose
Forgive me if this is not a good question asni have absolutely zero experience in such matters...but it would seem to me that using drainage water from showers, (given all the chemicals, artificial coloring, scents, heavy metals, etc., in common soaps, shampoos, conditioners, not to mention the heavy chemicals such as bleach from cleaning agents commonly used to clean showers), may not be the ideal water source to use in your garden, or plants in general, correct?

Cada vez que veo esto me enamoro más de la idea de hacer mi casa así 😘❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great job! Learned a lot watching this. Thanks for sharing.
effort, precision just wow! i am also aiming to build my house just like this one since there is too much typhoon coming here in or country.
Lindo demais 👏👏👏👏👏 parabéns
I like your rebar cage did you source that or was it your own device? The factory edge is pretty cool also stealing that one:) 😊
Very nice!
Do you think you'll need to do external insulation there?
Great project… Excellent descriptions and explanations.
Congratulations! What a fantastic home you've built I'd be more than happy to live there, thanks so much for the video and explanation along the way.
Wonderful Work! Congratulations your Home Is Beautiful! I love the open concept! Those twin sliding doors, the huge bathroom! Rally Good! I enjoyed walking along with you and helpers it felt like I was there! Whew! That was a workout all while sitting at home lol🤣

Christ thank you for sharing your very impressive experience!!! This is a master class of construction of containers home🙏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing :) Well done !!!
This has a lot of helpful information all of the long hours of development show in your work.
Knocking that last window out and you standing there looking around was pretty funny. Thinking hard about doing this. Just bought some land in Florida and we want to put 2 single family homes on it. Going to talk to my son in law about this. Will get back to you. Great video.
Beautiful container home 🏠 ... Great video... I learned a lot... Thank you 👏😃👍
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You did it! Looks amazing ~~~~~
Can’t believe I just watch an hour video 😂
SUPER F@KEN COOL 🤩🤩
👍👍👍
Congratulations I’m proud of you 👍 you are a excellent human giving your best and giving motivation to us.
FINALLY a house with a foundation I love.

Thank you for this inspiring video. Now we can see what we've been dreaming about for the last couple of years.
Thank you!!!
👍👍
I just binged watch your whole channel and I enjoyed the details of all of your summary videos, which was great. Not so much the live streams and hard to watch the nothing parts. Thank you for your investment.
Very interesting the home will look gorgeous when the interior is finished
Impressed with how this project turned out.
Without a doubt the best video I’ve seen about container home construction
Glad you liked it
You’re a great teacher!
Great job!!! Greetings from the Philippines! I love your planning and preparations and your work generally. I got a question though... you've cleared out all the rusts on top and sides, but what about underneath? I saw a lot of surface rusts there while you are talking about the plumbing.

Great job !!
Learned a lot
Incredible work
Absolutely amazing 💯
Just an amazing job!!! You should be very proud! Just amazing video as well, thank you for sharing..
Great work man 👍
Extra ordinary work buddy. Keep it up. Waiting to see more of these videos. I was worried as i saw many bad reviews on container houses. But with this video I feel better ;) keep it up....
Hello there. I'm impressed with the building. I thought about doing something like that. I became homeless after the foot and mouth academic. I finished up buying a static and putting a tin roof on stations and lagged it.
Loved watching it keep it up bro❤️
Hi, first of all, congratulations on the house, it's really beautiful! second and consult, how did you treat the joints of the containers on the outside so that no water enters?
Normally, you would weld them together
Hi good job! Can you put a second level on top later in life 3 more containers if needed? Could the foundation you have used hold the weight?
Love from the uk grate job
What did you use as insulation for the walls?
I love this design!(",)
the stilt option looks amazing. the more i see the more i want my build to be on stilts...
Is it a difficult process?
Great video! I may have missed it, but how did you connect containers to foundation? I hope to do this one day but it will be in a area that has hurricanes. Any suggestions for foundation securing?
Go to "the container guy". There is a video on connecting 2 - 40'ers. But overkill as they have tons of snow to deal with but lots of good info for you to come up with your own plan. This design with 16 footers will alleviate the bottom sagging TCG is worried about. TCG steel plates on bottom are great idea for less footers and less complicated for alignment. Costs difference?
@Think Outside The Container It looks like Florida, so you would have wind codes to deal with I guess. I am thinking to put 2 20' containers together in Tennessee, I think they have Meth codes.
I can't give structural advice, but what I did was; I welded the containers to the steel plates that were bolted into the concrete columns
I like the laundry in the bedroom. Looks good and easier to use.
Very detailed and good vid. May i ask you chose stAndard containers, especially on the outside, vs refer containers?
Great job man, precise satisfactory execution and great explanation, filming and editing 👍
I have three questions if you would:
1) Why putting all these double joists in the roof from inside while you are bearing weight on?
2) Did you think of solar system or windmill to self suffice for electricity?
Question came to mind when I saw you are water self sufficient already 👍
3) what's your state? Or, how cold it gets in winter?
Thank you very much for sharing 😀 🙏🌺🌿
Wow ! Very very professional and talented work.....⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍
Bravo Chris! What a ride! Your mortgage free baby! Love it, it’s awesome 😎
🙂👍
Good works 👏👏👍
Amazing! Ty for sharing. I want to build one.
Wow beautiful work
Great job 👏
Hi, I love your project. Just to know, how much land is the whole container house seating on please (in square metres if possible please)😊
Hey Chris,
I've sent you a couple emails hoping for your assistance on building a 3D model for my container design. Are you still taking on work? If not no worries.
The extra pieces of wall that you cut out you should use it as roofing for a porch
WOW great job. I really like how you beefed up the ceiling rafters. You wouldn't really want a multi-port with an input of less that 3/4" All supply lines are either 3/4" or 1" Also I do not know where you are located with weather, but you generally do not put plumbing on an external wall. So now since you have hopefully you are definitely going to insulate the crap out of it. Looks GREAT!!!
@Marcus Borderlands Awe makes sense...Great house he did a great job!
He's in Florida, weather isn't much of an issue down there
Waoooo les quedó hermosa,me encantó,ese es mi sueño tener una casa echa de contenedores y en un lugar hasi de hermoso como ese con muchos árboles,los felicito,que la disfruten bendiciones,los veo desde Puerto Rico.💕🙏👏👏
Awesome. How did you weather seal your angle iron/openings for windows and doors? I see the spot welds but it doesn't look like you welded around the entire angle iron frame.
@Think Outside The Container Thanks! I have a 20' container being delivered next Monday. Sono tubes already poured and ready.
QUAD
It’s going to look beautiful.
How much did it cost you for the three containers including shipping?
I like the work you did with those cantainers wonndering whats the shipping cost and set up on top of those containers ?
Sweet build and sweet video. Lots of hard work here
Great work. I'm in the process of doing the exact same thing but with 4 containers.
@Marcus B 👍 Epoxy's perfect for water working rooms! 🤗 For the rest of it doesn't look quite cossy, I think.
I wonder if does it fit well also with a heating system in the floor ?
