agree

I'd say it's a lot of research. But yes it's doable.

sadly its kinda hard in Europe. Every single part needs to be certified by a professional in that area and an architect, and the local government needs to be informed of the build plan to approve it and of the total cost to tax you 😅

Glad you liked it

Lol good observation

Ikr lol I was watching that!

Cool. Good luck on your projects

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!

@@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.

@@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 UKposts videos that take you through the process. I hope this helps and answers your questions. Just be careful of the Taxman.

Good point lol. Recording the whole project was a whole other layer of work on top of the house build itself. Double work.

@@thinkoutsidethecontainer You're a very talented dude! Did you factor in curvature in your plans? lol. Wishing you great success!

absolutely lol

do you know wich welder is it? or at least the basic specs? thanks in advance.

You use aluminum framing with yours ok 😊

Wow I'm honored lol

I'm good at doing high-volume research over the internet. UKposts and Google were my teachers through this process.

👍👍

Thanks

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?

@@jasongelb6745 you would use green products for this very purpose

Thanks for the feedback. You mentioned a long horizontal washing machine drain without a vent? The washing machine drain does have a vent.... unless you meant the drain runs to long a length before the vent....

@@thinkoutsidethecontainer Yes, that is what I meant. With 2" pipe you can go up to 42" horizontal with 1/4" per foot, not to exceed width of the pipe over the length of the run. Now I understand it will probably somehow work, but you may have difficulties later on with drainage. But I don't wanna make it look like I criticize your work. Love what you do - and more power to you! Good job & good luck !

@@elmono3939 back during the build, I did a good deal of research on the venting pipes for the various fixtures, and I do believe I was confident I had the proper vent distances. But I'd have to go back and double check your numbers, which of course I'm not going to do because the house is done, but either way, thanks for your input.

@@thinkoutsidethecontainer There are two Codes we go by: IPC and UPC. Then there are local Codes that add to them their own requirments. So it depends under Code your work falls under. UPC is stricter of those two, requiring dedicated vent for each plumbing fixture. IPC doesn't. However, long dirt arm is not as much about Code, as much as it is about law of physics.

Relatively is the keyword

Lol

@@thinkoutsidethecontainer you rock man, glad to see you doing man stuff.

@@ThePandaBeat man stuff indeed 😉👍

I'd prefer if I was given credit for this build instead of another masculine figure ("god the father") you view as superior to me.

@@thinkoutsidethecontainer maybe it was just me realizing how complex it was and the amount of hardwork and the talent you put into this project and I thought no way I can create something like this on my own. It has been my dream but with the resources I have it is not possible. Anyway, I believe that that respect you have earned from me and from others may not be enough or may not be what you have expected but that respect you have earned (from me) is the highest respect I can give not just for you but for men who are into construction/building, making the society a better place. Your work on this video opened my eyes to that reality. So it is a positive comment Sir. I am but a small voice. I am from the Philippines Sir. Thanks for the feedback.

Appreciate it Max

Lol thanks for watching 🙂👍

true!

His plumbing wasn't quite accurate. He needed to have slopes because it wasn't all sloped as needed for proper flow. My guess is with it being such a short run of pipe he may not have any issues, but I wouldn't be surprised if he has issues with his sinks and bathtub/shower backing up.
