Would make sense to me if you size your elect system to maybe a 80 % of need and if your need starts to exceed this 80% then a generator may be needed for a short time without adding expense of a battery which is not needed very often.

Dobies, we call them Saddles, like in horse riding.

Hello Ben, first off, thanks for all the detailed instructions. You're answering questions before I get them. 🤭 I may have overlooked, but do you have a blueprint or a plot plan showing exactly where all your underground pipes are? Ain't nothing like trying to find an extra underground, without marking it on the prints 🫨

Where can I get the Container from in upstate NY

Why do you WANT TO LIVE IN THAT DRY PLACE?

BUT IS IT SAFE ?

I just got my containers delivered from Wuwi Shipping Container yesterday. I am planning to make a two-story container house i thought it would be expensive and surprisingly Wuwi Shipping Container sells cheap containers i got my 40ft Container for 1800 each and i even paid it upon delivery. I am from Texas by the way.

Just because I am a silly man, every time I hear "Odoo," in my mind I see it spelled "Oh, doo!!" 😂

put it on tall piers connected by bridges like starwars 😁

Really? Why not just build a square flat-roofed stick house and put corrugated siding on it? The appeal of container houses is cheap and easy! Plop it down and move on in. LOL

Hmmm, with a set of trusses you could have done a Stick built home ! Did you have 8" of height left ? Good Grief !! PLYWOOD ?

are they still around? im seeing they're permanently closed.

How do I get hold of your building plans.🙏I have a similar project i want to build.

Great video! i have bought 2 containers at wuwi shipping container and they gave me a great deal and offered COD as payment method.

I bought a container last week for $2300 from Wuwi Shipping Container to build a small house out of it and this video is very much helpful. Thank you!

Fire man 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

I absolutely loved this video!! It was so informative and you took the time to go through every single step. I am thinking of building a container apartment abroad ( The Dom Republic)… wondering about the super hot weather and insulation?? Thank you so much… I’m so excited to do more reasearch!! I was wondering if you have any videos with 2 or more stories container buildings. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!! 😊❤😊

This is great. I particularly liked the detail in the foundation construction. I live on the east coast and when building on a sloped site, we struck a large continuous seam of rock. So we decided to anchor one corner of the house basement on this bedrock, poured the slab , built up the walls and used floating “I” beams to act as a dish type bearings to support the weight of the house on top, in case of earth quake. It was actually cheaper to build like this and people thought I was crazy. 2 earthquakes later, the house has settled nicely into the sloped site. In a container this would simply look like a single independent pedestal post under each corner with a cast iron dish and a corresponding twist lock with a cast iron ball. The whole structure “ floats “ on the four corners.

Thanks so much for the how to's. I plan to build an off grid home on a tropical island. It must be as DIY as possible. It must also be CAT V ready. CAT V = EF 3 x 30 Mi. wide. (don't believe me?) I'm mostly concerned about cutting out a 8' x 20' opening in the sides of two adjacent 40' high cubes. How to bridge the span? Go ahead, call me clueless, I've already beaten you to it. Clueless in the Caribbean.

Why not just insulate the outside of the container with spray foam and build out your 4 inches on the outside and finish with wooden or batten siding? The inside just glue wooden strips on and paint or leave. If this is due to building codes in California, then choosing a container home in that state is not the way to go at all.

So the main takeaway is, don't build or live in California.

So you lose about 8.5" inside that seems lame.

The tanks r kept far away from the container house.in whose land those tanks r kept.

That's expensive

the total cost of this beautiful project, is an important information....could you?

Moral of the story - don't do anything in California. Omg.

What do you gain in strenghts/price/time used compare to building in «normal fashion»?

BRILLIANT CHANNEL ....Thank you Please keep me informed of the Container Hotel development

Is this in Az? What permits are required for a container home? Great video

hey man could you give me us a recommendation where to buy all of your steel? plates / angle steel etc

amazing house 🎉❤

Too much high dollar steel and doors not for a do it you selfer

Sorry, but if you insulate shipping container from the inside: only PUR foam is correct solution.Otherwise, under those insulation panels you will have condenced water which will get frozen in the winter. I'm building my shipping container house and I know what I'm talking about... However, I made a mistake installing tube steel frame instead of angled steel - I found my mistake while I was installing windows... Your idea with angle steel is way better and looks better too.

Here in New England , most communities forbid using containers . Have you ever spent a winter up north ? There are "R" factors involved .

bless florida for being a lot more leisure than cali

Watch at 1.5x speed... this guy speaks wayyyy toooo slooooowwwww....

So is this remodeling?

The container house is very beautiful and comfortable

how in the world will a metal structure collapse unless there is something on the roof to justify internal wood structure. Just overdoing and not knowing the structure strength

How much is a reasonable amount of money ? Skip it i see this was 4 years ago thanks for all the great info

Metti il prezzo è il numero di telefono

This looks like way more trouble than it's worth, you might as well build a regular house.

Have you been watching grand designs with kevin mc cloud he did a episode on the same thing yrs ago so its not new to me and others plus he is british and the first to see it done lol ? James

Strong pull out game… 💀

Hi "CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) is gaining attention in the construction industry due to its various advantages: Sustainability: CLT is a renewable material and has lower CO2 emissions compared to traditional building materials, making it an environmentally sustainable choice. Speed and Efficiency: CLT units are manufactured in factories and assembled on-site, leading to reduced construction time and increased efficiency in the building process. Strength and Durability: CLT exhibits strength and durability comparable to traditional concrete and steel, showcasing strong structural performance. Design Flexibility: CLT offers flexibility in design, allowing for a wide range of architectural possibilities. Due to these advantages, there is a growing demand for CLT units in the construction industry, and there is a possibility for further proliferation in the future. We strongly encourage considering its implementation within your company."

I really appreciate you I’m thinking to build a restaurant in Ethiopia and I was doing my research and your videos contribute a lot 🙋🏾‍♂️ thank you

Thank you for this episode - super helpful!

i can built another house with all of these tons of wood.
