[@Mike-hw4wt]

It's great to experiment as a new home owner. I really like this idea of container homes. A couple of points about constructability: (a) prepare road conditions for transport; (b) space temporary foundations blocks away from permanent foundations because this container needs more area at the footer and it needs to be mechanically fixed to concrete(hand mixed in this case); (c) consider space between the container (1) container width for a garden or common space. The affect on roof trussing is very small but you get this out of container feeling. Backfill with gravel to a cement screed to floor level of containers. (d) when you construct by yourself or with a contract demand for yourself Safety. One fall, one slip, one object to your eye can have financial consequences and delay. :o) Thanks for the nice video and good luck!!!!!

[@nursekrista2011]

Michael Miller I do like the idea of spacing them alittle farther apart and them making that part of the house, you get more square feet and maybe a more open concept.

Nice build, here in Australia, you have to have the higher containers. Building regulations will not accept the 8' high containers. Some people use the old refrigerated containers as they are already insulated.

Love the simplicity of your design! We are currently building a container home in the Pacific Northwest. Keep up the great work!

[@VietVet-fh6ti]

That's what I want!!! How did you get the conexes up onto the blocks? Did you install an I beam on the floor at the box junctions too or just weld the halves together? What about the joints where the boxes came together on the ends?Mr . Carpenter, these boxes are typhoon and hurricane proof. That's why people use them. Bravo, sir!

[@guyh.4553]

1st off, nice work. I am considering a shipping container home myself so your place gave me some good ideas. I really liked the I-Beam down the center of the top. I also liked the U - Channel on the inside center. Especially for structural security. But I have a couple of questions. 1) Why didn't you put it on a better foundation? 2) I didn't see any kind of drainage in place. What did you do for that? 3) Was there any reason for not adding 2 additional I-Beams on each edge of the home? 4) Did you, or consider, putting a protective "sealer" on the roof before adding the trusses? 5) Why did you weld each bracket on the container while the truss was upright? There were burn marks which means that the structural integrity of the truss was then comprised. You knew the dimensions of the wood, you knew the spacing of each truss, why would you do that? Especially with the investment that you are making into it. I'm not trying to be mean or criticize your project (mostly with #5), I'd just like to know and find out. Looking forward to Part 2. I hope that I can find it.

[@obfuscated3090]

The I-beam down the center is a nice way to bridge the gap but it will only lay vertical if your containers are matched in side height. There is some variation between container manufacturers. Mismatched container roof joints can be bridged with 2" x 1/8" steel strip (I had half a 4x8 sheared into strip which was cheaper than buying flat bar but YMMV). I tacked then welded the seam with E71T-11 flux core wire in a suitcase wire feeder.

[@Superduty_59]

Awesome. I want to make a stacked Hi Cube two story house out of shipping containers. Yours looks amazing!

This was a great idea 7-10 years ago. To many people trying to make money on the containers now, you can stick frame for less than 1/5 the price of the container and deliver

good job man but so many ways to do this project. The sky is the limit to what you can do with shipping containers. New or used.

[@Nightravenusa88]

Thank you for taking the time to share your project. This is very encouraging and simple in some ways. However, I did learn a few things during your journey. Please advise on how you manage the power supply. Is your structure off grid? Is it plumbed into a septic or community sewer system? Did you insulate the roof and walls? The last picture showed the floor being sealed. Were walls constructed with outlets etc.HVAC Unit?..Just curious.....Once again, Thank you...

[@BugYall]

I'm interested in answers to these question too!

[@patrolpilot3756]

Wife and I are investigating this type of thing using six boxes. four side by side and two as a second story. Did you use one-way boxes?

[@joetheragman2076]

The idea is great! But I question the no footings, or foundation? Other than that, great!

[@fourfortyroadrunner6701]

A couple of suggestions for others, or "next time." I REALLY like longer eves overhang, it's cool for a number of reasons, keeping blowing rain/ snow off the windows. "Up here" folks have even used the rear "long overhang" to stack firewood, etc.

[@nolanritchie9761]

so you had the drop ship trucks just drop the containers side by side as close as possible. then used the backhoe to lift up the ends and squeeze the 2 containers up against each other? Then lift up one end of a container and put cement blocks in the corners. drop end and do the same on the other end? I'm amazed you have the thing just sitting on cement blocks. I was thinking to make concrete pads for each corner before ordering the containers.

[@jans4522]

[@ivorsemyon5246]

It is a brilliant cost effective way of building and very versatile

[@webosm6494]

Good idea to place that i-beam on the top. It will give structural strength when removing the inner walls and does not lower the ceiling. Why did you not remove the floors?They are normally impregnated with pesticides that leach out over time. Would not want to have that in a closed room where you stay (sleep) for a long time. It will accumulate and can cause serious illness. It is the first thing i am doing in my container build.

[@bonthebuilder7380]

Tzadvantage BKK, Thank you for your input, it is greatly appreciated. On the subject of pesticides in the floor; in my research I found that there is a debate that rages between those that feel you should remove the wood in the floor and those that believe you are exposed to worse chemicals such as formaldehyde in standard materials used in new construction. Another school of thought says that containers as old as mine no longer have dangerous levels of pesticides. In any event, my wife and I decided to seal the floor with polyurethane and then put plywood on top of that.

[@SheepDog7071]

I agree, regarding the I-Beam, with your thoughts... I am going to put 3 side by side and the I-Beam on top is a good idea due to 2 reasons; not lowering the ceiling and putting in support pole's. Not to mention, that beam will be covered anyway with the roof.... glad I saw this video, I have been racking my brain on how or where to place the support post's in the house..lol

[@michaelmunns9218]

My oak floor was soaked and blackened under the carpet from the previous owners pets, so we sealed with oil based kilz prior to new pad and relaying of the carpet. You can't even tell there were pets now. So my thought is a sealer would seal in any pesticide residue.

[@Elementaldomain]

I think "most" cargo containers that are sold to people such as we - are old containers - they cost a lot so they wouldn't be selling them at such a low price if they still met shipping standards. I had an immune disorder for 5 year - I couldn't even go shopping - and I've had absolutely no trouble with our cargo container. Our floors are oak, so I assume ours is a fairly old container.

[@susananderson7473]

How wide are these containers? Have been looking into very similar to what you're doing. 2 40' high cubes together. Just one level. Estimating it would be approx. 800 sq ft.

There are a few new things, so I will try to produce another video to show how far we have gotten. Thank you so much for your interest and response.

Agnoses, thanks for your comments and questions. We coated the original floor boards with polyurethane to seal them to address the issue brought up by partyflockske below. We then screwed down 3/4" tongue & groove plywood on top of that and will put carpet and/or tile as the finished product. As we get more money, we'll produce another video. Hope this helps. Bon

[@obfuscated3090]

You can also use railroad ties across the corner fittings and spend very little. They don't crush, they spread load nicely and take minutes to place. If you need elevation you can use whatever is handy. I ran 12" heavy steel I-beams across the ends of my 2x 40-foot High Cube machine/welding shop but the beams were free. If you like round pillars for more elevation Sonotube and similar are easy to place then fill with concrete. I drew my containers together manually using pipe rollers and Wyeth-Scott hand winches (those outside the US may have better access to the excellent Tirfor units) with little fuss.

[@freakyflow]

I think if it was so awesome you wouldn't have to leave youtube to google

[@freakyflow]

Maybe it's my OCD but cinder blocks drive me nuts. and a close 2nd would be railroad ties (Ban for home use in my city) They do rot in time and chances are if your able to get them the lifespan on them are mostly used up and why they are not being used for what they are made for Sonotube and firm base are the cheapest (That still hold more then needed weight loads) And are whats needed for unseen problems in the future : Flash flooding, Earthquakes, Tyhpoon/Hurricane/Tornado, High winds. And if you add a side bracket your able to tie in wood trim to close off your bottom part of the home from pest But still able to get access to Plumbing or anything else Can't do that with a formed foundation without breaking it or cuting into the floor ...Plus your going to need sonotubes anyways if your making a deck My dad was a bricklayer for 30+ years many times he had to replace cinder blocks that been soaking in water over years and had ground contact and just fell apart You dont see people setting up blocks with plastic or rubber to keep them dry or setting them on top of crushed stone to let the water drain.. Also everyone does not live in 1 type of climate a Container home idea in Phillippines does not work in Canada... Sonotubes works in both

[@garyleach92]

Bury to make an earth home. Steel trusses for roof?

[@therainforest4314]

I get the possible advantages of this kind of construction if you've got to haul it out to some out-of-the-way location, but otherwise I'm not so sure what the advantage really would be. After all, you've still got to hang everything(drywall or external siding, insulation, electrical, plumbing, vapour-barriar, etc.) you would on a regular wood-construction home, that you would with a container. Now you have a banged up looking outside or a banged up looking inside, depending on whether you use the container as an inside skin or an outside skin. :-)

[@shackyrustleford7683]

do you think it might be able to withstand a hurricane, tornado, or flood better

[@kpotter78]

Shacky Rustleford Not a chance that has any structural advantage over a real house. Cool idea, but it has no foundation and those trusses have no load bearing integrity. I hope he doesn't live somewhere where they get snow. I'm not against building your own house or even trusses, but you gotta do your homework and make sure you do it right. First snow= flat roof. And it's gotta be anchored to the ground for cryin out loud.

I had breakfast this morning next to a construction site where they were building a large storage facility using a approximately one hundred containers stacked about four or five high and they were sitting on heavy duty concrete footings and a stone ledge with rebar sticking up to attach the stone's mortar. Containers are not tornado or hurricane proof if they aren't firmly attached to a foundation or footing that is bell-bottomed into the ground. I saw a video of a tornado near Dallas where a large container was flying at two hundred feet in the air.
