I was searching shipping containers and came across your project and it is looking awesome. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you so much for the comment and watching.

[@nohandleisagoodhandle]

You all are doing awesome work, Kevin! Bravo!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Jeremy

[@douglasthompson2740]

I might suggest that an overhang at the door gable end to cover the area when the doors are opened. Helps keep the inside dry in inclement weather. The larger the overhangs everywhere the better.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment and watching.

[@Hatch61]

It really looks great Kevin. A friend of mine owns a gun shop and he made the whole thing from two shipping containers, it’s amazing. Thanks for sharing this amazing transformation. Be well my friend.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Hatch, it's amazing what people do with these containers, thanks for watching.

[@WolfpackRez]

Dude this is PERFECT im about to do the same thing! Thanks for the video

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You are welcome it was a cheap and quick solution for my storage needs.Good luck with your project Ryan.

[@280zone]

Definition of a Carpenter : a person who makes and repairs wooden objects and structures. I think you qualify, nice job

[@williammcguire3rd]

Got the shed looking good. You've saved a lot of money so far. You've got yourself a big bear looks like.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks William, Rick saw the bear a few days ago i think it is a big one.

[@garywhelansr5602]

Hey Kevin that lopks great good job bud. I guess ole Smokey wants to supervise your work at nite .👍

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Gary

[@OldNew45]

Don't let Stumpynubs see you use that tool. He'll tell you how horrible you are for using it.😂

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Lol thanks for the comment.

[@frankcarrerejr]

You sure it’s not Big Foot that been coming around. LOL. Its coming out great. It was nice how you could stand on the roof of the container to screw the sheet panels on.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

LOL it might be bigfoot you never know, yes standing on the roof helped a lot and better than a ladder

[@UtopiaTimes]

Thanks for this tutorial. It's the first and most useful we're seeing. Are those solar sheets?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

No solar yet coming soon thanks for the comment.

[@philheath9391]

хорошая идея

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching.

[@EdwardDiGirolamo28]

Awesome Job! Looking to do this to span 16ft from outside edge of a container to inside edge of container (8ft apart from another) My question is how did you account for the tiny 1" lip probably 1/16th inch deeper from the solid beam, to the corregated stuff welded. (looking at planing it) and I am using 4x6's . The tiny lip makes it hard to get it level. Thanks for any advice

[@IggyDalrymple]

Neat job! That should help preserve and keep the container much cooler.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Definitely! thanks for watching

[@jmccracken491]

S&W MOD 44 Magnum would scare bear for sure.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yeah i don't like him hanging around, don't want him to get my chickens.

[@dayanebring733]

👏

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for watching

[@mten8965]

👍😎

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you M Ten.

[@sealik1]

Rafters should sit on top of the wall................not butted up to it. And....beams sit on top of posts...not nailed to the side.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment

[@atelier7architects]

this is good stuff. what screws did you use to secure wood to top of container?

[@landscapelightmaker]

A woodpecker blade (carbon toothed) on your mini grinder would be faster and more effective than the chainsaw blade

[@michaelhouy1382]

Is the cargo box on a concrete slab or sauna tubes?

[@seppelescur]

keep your eyes peeled with that bear out there!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I know i hope he is afraid of people and keeps his distance

[@RubenFletcher]

Well, my friend. For claiming not to be a carpenter you sure did a hell-of-a job on that project. Looks like I got a hammock buddy to contend with with that bear roaming around. Think it's a Black Bear?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Ruben, i think it is a brown bear Rick saw one up the road a couple of days ago.

[@seanreidy143]

thanks for sharing your experience with this. knowing nothing about roofing, is there a particular reason you went with such a steep pitch?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Just for the snow and rain to run off.

[@bigcountry2358]

what is the link for the chain saw grinder disc

[@gary24752]

Since the roof and sidewalls are not designed to take a load how did you transfer the roof load to the corner posts?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

The outside frame is solid so it held up great

[@TruckerChick]

Great job! I'm looking to do the same to my 20 footer. How did you bolt the notched boards to the roof? Did you bolt through the roof skin or go into the solid beam at the edge? Thank you for any guidance you can offer.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I bolted to the solid beam at the edge

[@brendonr980]

Pictures

[@lindsayruddle198]

Would be great to see you using hearing protection

[@Robinson-Homestead]

For sure thanks for the comment.

[@aksting]

I am surprised your using Poplar for construction lumber. I guess it is what you have available.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yes it is what i had available and we have a lot of poplar trees here.

[@ERKNEES2]

that blade basically paid for itself just doing thoses cuts

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yeah it did for sure.

[@kpjurek]

How did you fix the beams to the container?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Self-tapping screws.

[@markpieklik8246]

How did you fasten the 2x4 to the container?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Self tapping screws.

[@user-wg5fn6id1g]

Do you have the plan with sizes?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

No sorry I just built it.

[@ernestpaul2484]

Kevin, I have a 45' High Cube shipping container (CONEX) that once I relocate it on my property to a concrete pad, I would like to do what you're doing with yours. I am in the southeastern part of NC and do not have to worry about the snow loads like you. The rains and the hurricane season are another story though. Could you tell me the height of the verticals on the one side? I would like to go out 20' on the shed roof side to have "walk-around room" on my trailers that will be parked under there. You claim to not be good with wood or metal. I wonder what your definition of "good" is? You have done some amazing things in your videos. Those paw prints are of a pretty healthy black bear.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

The high side of the shipping container is 3 ft to the peak.

[@ernestpaul2484]

@@Robinson-Homestead Thank you.

[@jokemahnwantime8455]

Pliss can u help me by giving the timber measurements you used pliss

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Not sure what measurements you are asking about, on the roof?

[@embededfabrication4482]

U probably need a permit to do that

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Not for this one.

[@markpieklik8246]

What is the pitch

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Old vent thanks for the comment.

[@brendonr980]

How much did this cost you

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Round $4000

[@ralphgriffin1104]

Not watching anymore after running a generator at full blast. Thanks for ruining my hearing and an interesting video

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment.

[@edwardburke9181]

"Wow" coming on grand fella . Be safe with that bear loitering around

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you

[@elisahaven4363]

[@agent.86]
