In this episode, we connected our two shipping containers! We started this process by welding angle iron onto each container and then connected 2x6's to them. We still have to bridge the lumber but we can finally walk across the containers! Don't forget to like and SUBSCRIBE so you can follow us on our journey:)

your up coming grinding chore might be easier with a plasma cutter. Just a thought. Great video! looking forward to following this project.
@Doclovesmusic1 Рік тому
Looking back at this video, and where you guys are now with 2 kids...JUST WOW!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
@mikeallensonntag 3 роки тому
Looking at these old videos and where you guys are now is just crazy. I've seen all your videos from beginning to current but my god just seeing this old one on my feed and re watching it is just nuts. I don't blame ya for almost crying kenzie when you two get little things back like water and power etc.
@Southerngirlinanorthernworld 4 роки тому
I started watching your videos about a week ago and I’m really enjoying to see you guys moving forward at a steady pace. Very inspirational!
@yoliegunderson8749 5 років тому
My husband and I live on a big farm as well and we just discovered y'all. I'm excited to see your finished project. You two seem like the perfect couple. Your great sense of humor and just overall good attitude is enjoyable and entertaining at the same time. Glad we stumbled onto your channel.

*It does all the graphics one would need to display an idea to a container home lover. **containar.homes** Easy. Effective. Must have. I especially enjoyed the auto-roofing option. It made a long story short, and did it with amazing lines.*

You should use those walls you cut out, as a lil skirt for your containers. It'll keep the rats out, and keep your containers cooler. Just cut small louvres at the tops of a couple for ventilation.

Nice to see you guys tackle this. Our friends let us stay on their ranch and we built a very similar setup. Patience is key, set daily, weekly goals and adjust as needed.Windows and doors through metal were challenging but when done really assisted with air flow. Good luck, cant wait for the next progress vid.

It's so much fun to go back to the early videos and watch y'all. Knowing how beautifully the house turned out, it's even more interesting to see it in its early stages. I can't believe all the changes you've had in your life since you started your journey. You are an inspiration and a testament to hard work and perseverance. Love you guys! ❤

Greg Alan Edwards and keeping our solar gain in the summer, while letting it in with the lower winter sun is one of the easiest ways to save on energy costs and have a more comfortable climate. Make sure there is thermal mass in the floor as well.

@faded9043 5 років тому
I'm a carpenter so I could really pick this apart lol but you guys should have used pressure treated lumber cause the kind you used is going to warp,bend and twist soon. Also make sure to use galvanized screws/nails so they don't rust. Just a few tips,if you have any questions I'll be glad to help
@sfoxall1 Рік тому
It’s not touching the ground. It doesn’t need pressure treated lumber for that use. Also the nails/screws aren’t in the elements they are under the floor. They did fine with this.

@mountainviews5025 5 років тому
Floor looks great just a tiny bit of advice for you put the insulation in now before you put down the subfloor cause the less amount of time under the house is so much better for you I know that advice sucks but I'm a general contractor and I built probably close to 200 homes and 15 high rise buildings believe me being under there with tools suuuuuuuccckkkssssss
@Price-qd1cd 5 років тому
Michael Hornberger this is good advice,I didn’t do it first and now it’s a pain
@faded9043 5 років тому
If you built over 200 houses then you should know this doesn't require insulation
@Price-qd1cd 5 років тому
Faded I’m in Florida and my container definitely needs insulation!lol
@Adsjabo 5 років тому
Why would it not need insulation? You'd be an idiot to not insulate the floor.
@HighestRank 5 років тому
Mountain Views add insulation along with each rafter placement because hopping b tween fixed rafter to attach the insulation ssuuuuccckksss.

@gibsonbuilds4841 5 років тому
Looks good! I wouldn't grind another thing on the floor. Use your plywood or osb decking....then overlay the whole floor with a layer of ridgid foam. Let the metal press up into the foam....then screw down another layer of plywood on top of foam. Nice job so far.

I stumbled across your site yesterday, and thought I'd take a quick peak. After countless hours of binge watching, I've subscribed and I'm a fan. Congraz on your videos, even better than some regular TV productions! I'm nearing the end of a DIY home renovation project of my own, so watching reminds me of all the steps I too have endured. Keep up the great work, looking great!!!
@toughgirl6837 5 років тому
Curious why they didn't put vapor barrier underneath their container and floor. Won't they eventually have vegetation growing underneath and into their floor. What about insulation under their floors???

@uhighsmith 5 років тому
Is it me or does it seem like the notches in the wood should be on the top side versus the bottom because the pressure is coming from the top. Also does notching the wood on the ends make it weaker?
@JMCichlids 5 років тому
I can see it being a problem with a lot of weight on top of the floor but most likely will not even be an issue. The amount of weight wood can hold horizontally would surprise you.
@SuperDave44Mag 5 років тому
Guys the span is nothing for a notched 2x6 to handle. The notch is no different than putting a 2x2 on a beam and running ceiling joists in your house. It’s basically a support ridge, and is no problem for a 2x6 with such a short span.
@noworriesmate8287 5 років тому
Putting the notch at the top would cut down the amount of floor build up to make it level. Then install underlayment then wood flooring.
@TanTan-ni4mg 5 років тому
uriah highsmith yes yes and yes. Hangers are necessary now.
@faded9043 5 років тому
I'm a carpenter and I would have personally notched out the top instead of bottom as well but it really depends on the measurements of how thick the sub floor and how thick the flooring is that they're gonna be using. That small notch would maybe weaken the lumber very slightly but it would still definitely pass in my book
@arararar1170 5 років тому
