Hey! There is so much more I wanted to cover in this video that will be in the following episodes. Is there anything specific you'd want to know about our build/ process? Happy to answer anything! PS. THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL OR BUILDING ADVICE DO NOT COPY US WE ARE MONKEYS WITH POWER TOOLS.

[@virenp1983]

I want to know all about pros and cons of having a warehouse as an office/ studio for a creator. ik the EXTRA space will help with lighting but how'd you manage echo and stuff in such a biggg space and make that warehouse more homely over time

[@QuintonTetik]

what are you guys doing for heating and cooling? and bathrooms?

[@GuzmanGonzalez]

I think it'd be really interesting to see the choices you made for materials, sound proofing for editing, layouts you guys chose for desktops and whatnot. I always figured how much would it cost to build a container office and how the layout for a video editor workspace will work in one of those. Loved this vid and i'm definitely subscribing to see more of this!

[@GKVideography]

Loving this, look forward to more. My question would be, If this is a temporary solution, what is the final goal and why are you waiting to do that and not just go there now?

[@BeckiandChris]

This was so great! Can’t wait for all the juicy details! Shipping containers look challenging to work with!

[@lilafromyoutube]

That intro energy SLAPS! Love the storytelling and the idea of using shipping containers! P.s. glad you didn’t burn your face

[@Levi_Allen]

YES! Shipping containers for the win. I loved this video.

“Say that again for sound” joke was amazing

09:48 "I did it!" was the best reaction ever lol. You guys are brave for taking this on!

[@TedAldwin]

As an architect and youtuber, I love this idea of putting shipping containers inside a huge space for creative studios/offices. My only concern with these shipping containers is its history. Nowadays, there’s a ton of shipping container-related designs out there due to its modularity but one major factor to be considered is the history of its usage. Since these are used for shipping various products in its lifetime, some are used to transport chemicals that may be harmful to humans that may linger for months or years when in contact with metal. I hope you guys took this into consideration before the purchase and I that you did, other than that, I’m so stoked to see the final results of your new studios man! Keep it rocking!😎🤘🏼

[@JesseDriftwood]

Thanks for the concern and yeah we were at least told these ones were clean.

[@TedAldwin]

Awesome! Glad to hear that Jesse. I’m so excited to see an empire rise within these metal containers soon! Mr Benfey might fly a drone through these one day! 😁👌

[@PINZCONTAINER]

If you guys buy the containers from a serious company it is ok. The containers that travelled with chemicals not even suposed to go to selling!

[@ZackDowdy]

Killing it, I think as creatives doing things with no experience typical brings more satisfaction.

[@WakeUpMatt]

This is incredible! So stoked to see the rest. I literally just started to build my own container office too 😄

[@AlliandWill]

This edit was reallllly good, you guys are killing it! Such an ambitious project to bring to life!

[@PINZCONTAINER]

Nice to see that exist people with your corage!

[@blessingplant]

Favorite youtuber☺️ And I don’t like choosing favorites. Thanks as always for sharing your pursuits. Those sparks were quite beautiful✨

[@focusmedia2465]

Wow wow wow! Just realized how much I enjoy not only BTS videos, but people building stuff with very little knowledge on how to do it. Makes me feel empowered to take on monumental challenges. Thanks Jesse!

[@MicroFourNerds]

This is the mirror universe, chaotic version of Becki and Chris’ Reno series and I love both equally

[@parkereastmond2606]

This was... without a doubt the best video I've ever witnessed. Honestly just throw every bit of footage you have onto a timeline... export it out... and send me the link.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

I just want u to know, u and a couple other people inspired me to tell a story as I do these construction jobs, and not to just make the same kind of videos every1 else makes in this niche. When I make 1 it would be cool to share it w u and them, yur video was amazing. I've been doing this all for free for about a year and found a passion and a want to make better videos everytime. I didn't know to edit to music when I use it or anything, I was editing w a tablet at 1080p 30fps , not really even using to much b roll or cuts and transitions slow motion or any of that stuff the right way, but I just got a nice camera and I can't wait to just make some things better!

[@thisisdash]

the filmmaking that jesse incripts is just amazing .he always gets me hooked to anything he doin

[@makethemost]

Super excellent on so many levels. From the cinematography to the storytelling a thoroughly enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing your ongoing saga.

Dude, should have asked for volunteers! What, Peter M. too busy? ;-) This was fun to watch. I love the way you put things together, the video and the space, genius idea. Looks like you all should be very proud of yourselves. You got a big bucket of lemons and made some very creative lemonade!

[@JusttJC]

nothing to say otherthan, a truly sensational internet video🤷🏽‍♂️ every part of it, on point🔥

Highly underrated video

[@applemuzuka]

Wow! That's really good!

[@JayLippman]

Amazing video dude! The only thing I was wondering the entire time (because this was my world for 15 years) is how are you doing the electrical for the shipping containers?

[@JesseDriftwood]

That’ll be in the next video! We have functional power on them now but still waiting for the electrician to put us each on 15a breakers.

[@GuilDormeus]

This is exciting! I can’t wait to see how everything comes together

[@kai_dek]

Great video, can't wait to see the completed new studio!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Should be fine, You'll notice this type of work is easy to understand.....it is just simply physically heavy. But you'll be fine and a lot less girlie when you're done! Super editing - love it.

[@JesseDriftwood]

Haha yup you’re absolutely right (except about the girly part lol). We’re so much further along now and I’ve absolutely loved the process and am excited to take on more projects like this in the future.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Hello @@JesseDriftwood , It will be interesting to see how this construction "art" influences your creativity going forward. ...and fun too...seeing how you make life fun. Stay warm, spring is coming (Oh and try one of our Bullitt cargo bikes....since you now like all those electric tools...you can try the eBullitt. Charity bike rides start next month!)

[@JesseDriftwood]

@@Dancing_Alone_wRentals I actually almost bought a bullit cargo bike years ago! Sadly we just don’t have a place at home to fit one that doesn’t involve carrying it up and downstais every time we want to use it.

[@aramatkinson]

The tape measurer falling off the side gave me horrible flashbacks to literally every single time I use one lol. I cannot wait to see how this progresses! Good on you for turning a negative into a new exciting challenge.

[@JesseDriftwood]

I honestly couldn’t count the amount of times that happened to me on this process. Probably five times in that clip alone aha!

[@aramatkinson]

@@JesseDriftwood 😂😂 I can only imagine. Treat yourself to a laser measurer (says the man with two broken tape measurers and no laser measurer)

[@AllenRReid]

I hate cold weather. I'm assuming there's no heat in that big building?

[@JesseDriftwood]

January/February were so cold. I actually had to cut a section talking about the temperatures. But I wore electric gloves beneath my work gloves everyday and two thick pairs of alpaca wool socks in my winter boots. My toes and fingers would still often freeze. Thankfully we’ve since gotten heat installed on the building and have indivial space heaters in our units to stay cozy.

[@Junkyard_Jake]

Would you guys be interested in some free pipe connectors for building modular desks, shelves, etc.? If so hit me up.

[@ExV6120]

Will there be hot at summer?

[@JesseDriftwood]

I sure hope not haha. We’ve shot in here a few times in past summers and it wasn’t too bad.

[@SoyLubiam]

I dont know the name but theres a guy that looks like aaron rodgers

[@maxvain]

Wait you are already indoors in a warehouse? Why not just run tracks, and frame up for drywall? Seems like epic waste of money what your are doing. What am I missing?

[@JesseDriftwood]

Context.

[@maxvain]

@@JesseDriftwood ok man, I must have missed the part of the video where you explained why you choose to take the more expensive route, and put shipping containers indoors. You do you. Purchase cost of containers, the transport cost of containers, fabrication of containers, cutting tool and accessories, the Welder you are gonna need, Welding Equipment rental, the footprint issues, hopefully the warehouse has good climate control because insulation cost will be lot cant use batt insulation in containers, have to use expensive spray foam....and lastly the time!!! Instead you could have framed that space with drywall tracks and studs, and have complete control over your footprint and headroom. Products easily transportable in a pickup truck, and tools/skills needed a lot less than what you are currently attempting. It would have been much less time to construct as well but I guess I miss context. only thing needed was a drill.

[@RCodyWanner]

question cause i’m genuinely curious - is a shipping container completely structurally sound without its walls?

[@JesseDriftwood]

Yup! That’s part of what makes them wonderful.

[@JesseDriftwood]

At least I’m mostly sure lol

[@RCodyWanner]

@@JesseDriftwood it feels true that’s for sure

[@cbenfey]

Hey Cody! Yeah the corrugated stuff isn’t necessary for structure as long as they aren’t moving anymore. They have corner support columns and beams along the bottoms and tops. The corrugated helps with shear strength when they’re being moved around and stuff while actually shipping things, but now that they’re just offices that isn’t really necessary.

[@jonstamm]

Slo-mo sparks 🤩 Lookin' great, guys!

[@Ournotsoperfectlife]

This video was magic!! Great music selections as well!!!

[@HiethGeorge]

[@tara6664]

You guys should be wearing full face shields . I have seen what can happen when those cutting discs come a part and hit some one in the face or neck !

[@JesseDriftwood]

That’s probably good advise yeah! If I have to do any more I’ll definitely consider picking one up.

[@LauraTryUK]

It really was a monster-of-an-edit!! You moved, you built, you filmed and you made a video about it 🤯 How many hours do you think you spent on the edit? Such a phenomenal video and project. You guys are rocking it and I look forward to seeing more. Almost said when can I rent some space? .... then remembered Charlie the cat doesn't want to move abroad 😆

[@dag221]

Best video since the one of Florence delivering pizza. This is like an adventure and sure it's probably stressful but think of all the great content you will get out of it. Also good to see safety regulations followed so strictly. The piece of steel nearly falling on Christophe was interesting.
