Framing The Interior of our Shipping Container TINY HOME

[@n2ocharged]

Riley, you say this is a "This is what we're doing, not a how to" channel but I think there's a lot of people take inspiration from what you guys do. I know, personally, there are quite a few things I've looked into because of your channel. You guys do amazing work. Thanks for posting and keep up the good work.

[@yyiii276]

A few of issues are the door seals and the doors themselves, they will not work properly due to being backward or inside out. Also the door hinge pins can be removed from outside and gain access even with the deadbolt lock 😂🤪🤔🤷

[@dellmerlin6328]

I really like the idea of the flat 2x4 frame and using pocket holes to prevent thermal bridging with the spray foam. This is very good building science. I learn something new every episode.

[@larrymiller4]

Pretty much my go-to channel, mostly because of shared goals.

[@Jerry-ko9pi]

When I was a contractor in Afghanistan back in 2002, we built out shipping containers for living/offices for the higher ups, like site managers. We cut the 2x4's in half and built them just like regular walls. If you take 3-4" off wall height, you can just lift up ceiling framing and slide them in place. Then they just sit on top of the walls and you can screw them in together and then add your insulation. For the bathroom fan, I think adding a 2x4 cross member and mount the fan box to that, would help move the air easier since the hose will be going straight out. Here is a hint for you for wiring up everything. Take an old 1 gallon paint can and screw it to a Lazy Susan and put the wire around it. Yo then can just pull the wire as you need it.

[@janetkoball44]

What a great idea!!

[@donalddodson7365]

Excellent problem solving, as usual. No blood shed, also excellent. Oliver is absolutely a treat to see. You are amazing. Thank you. Blessings. 🤗

[@kengroves49]

Can't wait for the next video anxious to see how the spray foam goes

[@MrPeyregne]

This is great for me because now I will be able to use this as a go-to guide to finish my shop.

[@willterrell2748]

You put screws through the containers box tubing from the inside as well as the outside. I’m certain that water can make its way in eventually.

[@DillonHalsted-f7l]

My friend I hope you see this. I would consider bonding the container metal to your equipment grounding conductor (ECG), although it's unlikely, if the metal were ever to become energized due to any number of failures in the system and not be bonded it would remain energized, due to its lack of path to the source, i.e. if someone were to touch it and be connected to ground, either by being barefoot or touching the container and something else that is grounded, it would use their body to find ground, electrocution. If the container is bonded to the EGC and a failure occurs in the electrical system that would energize the metal it will trip the breaker on your electrical panel. You may already know this and plan for it when it's moved into place, but I would hate to just assume that, and someone end up hurt down the road. God bless, love the videos!

[@OBD01]

cutting plastic with the chop saw to get the longer "thing" brilliant Riley!

[@kaelidovid1531]

Awesome, and genius

[@n2ocharged]

I was hoping someone else would say something about that... it made me giggle a little bit

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Yes! Every relationship needs a Ying and a Yang component. You are One!!!

[@cchambers8632]

Consider 2 X 6's in the walls for bracing of towel racks and possible grab bars.

[@robertthomas5906]

Very important for old people. Even as you get old they're darn nice to hold onto and not worry you'll slip. As long as it was put in to not break. Someone I know had one that suctioned to bathroom tile that was at the time 45 years old. It let go. That was a hospital trip.

[@johnm7882]

That's a lot of work. But you guys are doing great. Can't wait to see the finished product.

[@jimcoplan9502]

Good Sunday morning Courtney and Riley Progress is always a good thing!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Hope you’re having a great Sunday!

[@susandunlop50]

You both work so well together, not only Husband and Wife but Co-Workers. Not sure where you learned all of your talents, but it so wonderful to see without hesitation seeing your wonderful, so supportive wife jumping into every challenge and seemingly handling them with ease, What a team, and such an enjoyable series to just sit, relax and learn and enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing all of your challenges and wonderful finished experiences. WELL DONE,

[@knightlyjayful]

I was waiting for your hair to get in the paint. I have long hair as well and cannot count the times something silly has happened when loose. I’m always amazed by the patience you have when painting. It seems crazy how much prep goes into it, and the painting itself is quick…sort of.

[@Kodas-Dad]

Absolutely fantastic. The only thing i could suggest is solid pip on bathrrom vent. If you ever have to clean it, you dont risk tearing it wit the stff brush used to clean rhat size pipe. 😊😊

[@jasonjtg21]

The door looks great

[@wallyschmidt4063]

The Bathroom exhaust trunking, I would of used solid piping for this application, with proper metal sealing tape on all seams. The corrugated edges/groves will attract dust and it will be hard to clean out.

[@Lee_Proffit]

Agree, with a slight downwards slope to the outlet for condensation run off

[@dellmerlin6328]

Courtney, thank you for the tip to use the sponge on the small paint job to eliminate brush strokes. I learned something new today.

[@robertthomas5906]

You can also use the little rollers. They're in the paint section and are usually about 1" X 3 or 6". I use them all the time. Brush a window sill, other wood. Then use a dry roller after it has set for a few minutes and it's not tacky. It'll push those lines right down and it can look like glass if you get good at it. For what she was doing I might have used the pad too.

[@cvzphotography]

Can't wait to see how you move this thing to it's permanent location.

[@VolgaYILMAZ]

I love how you guys putting effort to do something you love.

[@JoseMorales-ls9vp]

If you take those hinges apart. You can open the doors without unlocking them... I would suggest welding or tacking the shaft.

[@toddtraficanti4832]

Riley I like the way you think things out and if it works then is it a bad idea? Very impressed with the tiny build. Keep up the fun.

[@brianrydzeski6108]

Shallow wall electrical box tip: Buy a 2-gang shallow box, AND buy a single gang reducer. There are also 1-gang boxes that extend behind the wall with extra room. The ones I see here are 17 cubic inch (v. 8 ci) size. You'll like the extra room for connections.

[@larryfly7755]

If you want to keep the house safe from unwanted entry you should tac weld the door hinge pin's to the top of the hinge cause someone could just knock the pin's out and open the door, because the hinges are usually inside.

[@larryfrias8010]

Exactly what I was thinking, why locks if the hinges are on the outside.

[@davep6977]

Out swing doors are not only good for fire exits, but in "remote" locations they are more secure against things like bears. OK, so yours are glass. Maybe a architectural railing/grate thing across the glass

[@jessicanicolebelmonte6252]

Courtney and Riley, I want to share some food for thought regarding the placement of electrical outlets. I know that it is to late for this build, but it might be worth to keep in mind for future building projects. Personally I hate it when outlets are placed low on the walls. As in about 30-40 cm above the floor. There are several good compelling reasons why I prefer to have all outlets placed about 100 cm above the floor, at about the same height as light switches: ** With advancing age, it becomes increasingly difficult and/or painful to stoop down or bend over to plug-in or unplug appliances. ** Outlets are not hidden below and/or behind furniture. ** Plugs and power bricks are to easily dislodged by accidentally kicking them with the feet, especially under tables or desks. ** Low outlets are at the perfect height for inquisitive toddler fingers. ** Low outlets are difficult to inspect for proper seating of plugs. ** Low outlets are difficult to access if you need to unplug something in a hurry. Especially when some appliance is malfunctioning and becoming a fire hazard. In today's environment, with a massive proliferation of electronic gadgets, there are usually not enough outlets available. Which leads to the use [and abuse] of power strip extensions, including daisy chaining said power strips. So it would be wise to at least double the amount of outlets to be installed. (Case in point: The apartment I am currently renting has a SINGLE outlet for the whole living room area that I use for my work space. The biggest power strip I could find is for 10 outlets. But I have at least 12 devices that need to be plugged into an outlet. Thus the need to daisy chain power strips.)

[@alantorrance6153]

See 17:03. Error with space for spray foam on end of beam just fixed in. The end of the wooden beam looks like it touching the steel roof vertical "bit". I suggest check the whole lot of them, and if necessary add some of your compressed foam before putting them back.

[@Soldier_Boy-mfu]

I see that you both are having fun with the lot of hard works , that's what I like about your vlogs, btw Love from India 🥰. 🇮🇳 , keep it up 👍

[@yakub3962]

Good to see your son is entertainment with toys and his parents instead of an iPad ❤

[@ahau9799]

That hail like snow you guys had is actually called Graupel! I don't remember exactly how it forms but I'm pretty sure it involves water droplets in the air collecting and freezing on falling snowflakes. And Riley's right! It is often compared to Dippin Dots!

[@honorharrington4546]

Riley, when using a hole saw drill a pilot hole with a separate bit and replace the drill bit in the hole saw with a section of smooth drill rod. This will keep the flutes from the original bit from cutting the pilot hole larger and make cutting thin metal easier.

[@garydaniel6827]

Cool tip!

[@markthompson4141]

Hey y’all, when you go to move that shipping container into its final resting place, y’all know they make wheel attachments for them . I figured you could put 2 on one end and build a trailer hitch on the other end and that way you could move it into place more easily. Just a suggestion…, I love y’all’s videos. Y’all have a lot of great content and suggestions.

[@alexo5861]

Riley, put your uni-bit/step bit in the impact drill, then you will not be fighting the torque on the drill.

[@midway241]

I can’t wait to see how Courtney decorates Moms Casita. Love her decor choices.

[@TerryCassar]

Are you planning to secure those hinge pins? Easily can be knocked out to gain unwanted entry!

[@edgraves7098]

Graupel = soft hail or snow pellets. In case you were wondering.

[@Gizmodaman]

A suggestion the doors being originally swing in doors they have removable pins. But the pins are outside now switch out the hinges to N.R.P. Hinges. Or just make a set screw on the inside.

[@jamesanderson958]

Not secure. Just pop the pins to go inside. Outswing doors have special hinges that lock into another and only allow removal when open to a certain degree. Swap the hinges out. At least 4 of them. Looks great. 👍

[@LarsDennert]

Take a close second look at the French doors. Sometimes the threshold has a notch cut in where the Qlon goes down through the threshold. It's a horrible spot where water leaks down under the threshold and rots the sub floor. Lots of caulk to plug that future headache.

[@Golden-69]

It's coming out super nice. Put some removable half axles on the back. Toe it like a trailer. Put something like a rear draw hitch were slip it in and pin it. I saw you looking at the big truck😅

[@trainman2860]

If you are going to put your hinges outside, drill and tap your hinge pins and put in a grub screw so someone can not knock the pins out and break in.

[@wmillios]

Also add a protective plate that overlaps the stationary door near the doorknob, otherwise someone with a screwdriver can just lever their way in.

[@jefflevoir6127]

I have actually been on a tour of a tiny house factory. I can ABSOLUTELY say that your tiny house is built way better and far more efficient than they do it. Congratulations on not only doing the job right, but showing the rest of us the right way to do it. 👍

[@22kmclaren]

AvE has a video showing design schematics from drill chuck patents and explaining why the drill "locking" hack is not true. Along with some basic testing showing the "locked' chuck still walking off after sudden stops with a large mass (hole saw) chucked up. Title is "Secret Drill Trick?" and I suggest you watch it. Bad advice from other commenters aside, I love your building videos. It is a Sunday morning routine for my family. Can't wait til we're at a point to start our own off grid journey like you.

[@benr8772]

Came here for this comment. That "hack" went so viral so quickly, and was just as quickly debunked but like the flu it's still hanging around. AvE's vid was the best.

[@om617yota7]

Came here for this comment too.

[@freddien7]

another great video, love how Oliver plays to the camera, little cuttie.

[@Andy-hq9fp]

Remove the flex pipe on the bathroom vent install pvc pipe and taper the pipe toward the exterior which will allow the condensation to run out. The flex pipe will trap condensation and cause serious health issues,

[@rickperalta1921]

When cutting metal try soapy water as a coolant and lubricant. It should help cutting and preserve the blade. In a pinch, Windex should work fine. Thanks for sharing!!

[@leifhietala8074]

VERY nice attention to detail, standing studs off the walls to prevent thermal bridging. That's important. I would've recommended sturdier piping coming off the bath vent though.

[@paulmiller591]

Wow, I never thought a circular saw could be used to open those annoying product packets. I am unsure if I can use that excuse to purchase one with my wife!

[@GregA-PNW]

One thing to consider with installing the entry door inside out. When they build them at the factory and install the glass they usually only seal the glass on the side designed to be the outside of the door. I realize the door isn't directly in the weather but I learned the hard way, having installed one inside out once, that they will leak at the window to door interface unless you seal it. Maybe yours is different but it might be worth checking.

[@Thewanderingturtletale]

Fantastic video! That's a LOT of work.

[@yakub3962]

This is a great idea to sell for those interested in a transportable tiny house. Rural turism, camping grounds, festivals, etc are potential customers.

[@roadhog6603]

The metal bar protruding above your solar panels will throw shade on it. Partial shade on the solar panels will reduce its efficiency by upwards of 90%. The solar panels need to be unobstructed from any shade.

[@missmollycollie911]

We just had hail in northern CA which is unusual for this time of year. Fortunately most of my plants made it.

[@jackcoats4146]

I hope you covered the floor with plastic to make spray foam cleanup easier!

[@_marcus_does_]

Love it when you're building stuff

[@gonuts1]

Oliver is definitely living the BEST baby life.

[@VenturaIT]

i'm not sure the spray foam stops condensation, the metal will still be cold hitting a warm interior, maybe the foam just soaks up the condensation... best option is to insulate the outside so the metal remains warm

[@johnwalterc]

Do you have a fresh air exchanger? How about a Bath vent that is controlled by high humidity? Still think you should have only cut a hole for a door and used cameras and big screen tvs as your window. Would be a lot warmer and less chance of wild animal intrusion.

[@wise_guy4230]

Add lubricant to the hole saw and drill bits when going through the metal.

[@wggooch]

You guys are the best on utube. Look forward to your videos.

[@tracywubben3786]

When moving container to final resting spot use caution so you don't break the glass on the picture windows.

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

###DRILLING METAL### When drilling through metal you should use some form of cutting oil. If you don't have actual cutting oil I've seen others use WD 40 it seems to work as well as cutting oil... It also helps that you don't dull you blade/bit as quick...

[@marlebut]

Those Gorilla Ladder benches are awesome! I use it for all kinds of stuff for a larger space to stand on… also, it’s good for Overlanding to load/ unload roof rack, set up roof tent… then you can use it for a bench!

[@matthewpeterson3329]

Another great video. Do us a favor, Oliver is such a happy little dude... give us a blip of him having a melt down so we all know he's a real little boy. I can't wait to see him helping dad. He'll be sitting on mom's lap driving the skid steer in no time.

[@lambobuilder]

Love the thought that went into framing. You guys are such a great team.

[@phpnotasp]

For the ceiling, why not use joist hangers? Seems like that would provide both outward and inward stability, vs relying on a single screw at each end.

[@chrisw1462]

For stub walls, don't level them by eye. Square them using the corner to corner method, and add a temporary diagonal to hold it that way. Now it's perfect no matter what.

[@michaelmitten2977]

Thanks for another great video. Cover that floor when you spray foam! It was painful to watch Tiny Shiny Home scrape it up in their shipping container. They are also off-grid.

Nice video. Dewalt drill tip for large hole saws: Anti-Lip mode... Put the clutch on one less than the twist bit setting. If the hole saw catches, the brake significantly reduces counter-routation. Your lips will thank me.

[@fillg]

Since you mounted the doors inside out, you should make sure they have security hinges on them. Otherwise, anyone could pop out the hinge pins and have access to the inside

[@GetBentGrocery]

The 2x4s mounted sideways are fine but they tend to warp more from that way. So we have welded tabs onto the shipping container walls to screw the boards onto. Should help keep it from warping. Especially since you plan to move it.

The water drop filter was really cool. I’m not the armchair quarterback type, but I’m asking because I honestly don’t know. Why would you not choose a whole home filtration system. I ask because I’m debating which to choose for my home. We have water provided by our County (for a monthly fee). But the water could definitely be more filtered. I enjoy learning so much from the projects you do.

[@VinceCannavaII]

As an armchair quarterback, allow me to confirm it's goodness.
