Building A SHIPPING CONTAINER WORKSHOP at Off-Grid Cabin!

[@Vanwives]

SUCCESS!! A 40’ container made it down our driveway and the new road. So excited to be making progress on the container shop. The question is will we make it to the finish line before winter???? 🥶 Go to buyraycon.com/vanwives to get up to 30% off sitewide

First question... what happened to your finger? I love watching the screw poles go into the ground! Northern Lights!!! Watching that truck BACK down the road into the space was AMAZING!!! The skill of the driver!!! Dude, take a bow! Now for the second one...

[@alicianorton7292]

Y'all did it! Props out to the driver backed tht container on your property congratulations ladies

Thank you xx

[@lynnemac1402]

I wondered right rapt the beginning when the two containers were delivered if you were doing the same design as Ambition Strikes, so you confirmed it with the layout of two rectangles that you were doing the same as Riley and Courtney, love it, it’s such a cool design and will give you so much space to use x

[@Vanwives]

Right! We love the design as well. 😊🐶

[@greatpix]

Looking at the flames you were getting using that blower gave me the thought that you could build a kiln and make your own plates, glasses, vases, and more. Or even cast metal.

[@Vanwives]

I’ve always wanted to learn. Good idea!

Oh, those of little faith! How could they doubt The Vanwives?! Could you imagine all of this 2-3 years ago? Congratulations on another project well done.

The amount of work you both have put into I must call it Paradise blows my mind. I have all the faith in both of you. Nothing you two can't do.

I am just in awe what you girls have accomplished at your off grid place. So, I’m wondering, since there’s two containers in the thumbnail, will you be putting up a covered structure like Ambition Strikes and sure hope Riley and Courtney return the favor and help you out. Keep it up girls, love it!!

[@carrieturner414]

I know you girls will crush it, you will be down in Mexico this winter starting a whole new project and the projects will be pretty much done and Clementine will be in the shelter for the winter at least that far. I don't take you girls for just sitting around and doing absolutely nothing. When you put your minds to it you will get it done.🎉 When you girls start a project you need to finish it❤ I believe in you girls. You have come along way. 500K +🎉With the water running underneath your landing pad🚜 you should put some type of a well, (wishing well box ) so you can take out fresh water by the bucket 🪣 full at all time. Tapped right in the ground. ❤i love your VIDEOS and just cant wait for the next sunday videos. 😢Would you ever bring back the pack t-shirts and sweatshirts ? I wasn't able to purchase one then but maybe i just might be able to purchase one someday 🤔🎉. Well girls here i go again waiting for your next video. And in the meantime I love watching your back videos. Till then you all be safe and blessings to you all. Crystal, Jazz, Bella, Izzy, work crew, Larry,Porta, maybe one day you'll be able to get chicken 🐔,🦌🐐🐑🦙🐓🦃🐤🐥🦉🪿did you know bats eat mosquitoes 🐈‍⬛ and when is bug season the bats will literally eat anything flying around if you put bat boxes up in the trees it'll probably eliminate some of the bugs 🐛. Maybe you girls should think about doing longer videos 😂❤🎉. Get ready for winter cause it does creep up on you 💨💨🥶snow ❄️ ❄️ 😉 😜

Wooow Picture perfect post cards ♥️ guys

[@Vanwives]

Right! Spectacular light show in the sky. 💛🐶

[@JTTTTx]

Someone may have mentioned this, but make sure to use the correct insulation- spray foam or equivalent.. if you don’t use any, you will literally have an inside rain storm. The condensation from the snow will cause the inside to form water on the inside of the steel container… the inside will always be just warmer than the outside and water will form- think ice cold water ina glass on a hot summer day . Great video, great job- JT from Maine

[@Vanwives]

Ahhh we experienced this already. Thank you xx

[@JTTTTx]

@ Sorry, it must be the “girl dad “ in me. I am a supporter of your off the grid lifestyle and any advice/ information that I pass along will always be from the heart.

Good luck on the Mexico project.
