[@lewismocaby3646]

I realize that it may be too late by the time this video is released after editing and such but hopefully not. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I have a feeling that you intend to use your high cube conx’s partially for dry work spaces. If you are you really should use the trackhoe to either lay them on their sides or to rock them over far enough to get some type of work stand or heavy sawhorses under. The reason I say this is due to the fact that they need some type of insulation under the floor between the lateral bulkheads. The fork slots are simple enough to block off once you have them permanently located but putting the roof on top of them will complicate the process extremely. Spent a lot of hours in similar containers as shops on job sites as well as break rooms. Keeping them warm and dry in the winter is quite a task without the void under the floor insulated even with nearly new one trip containers. The amount of hardware and tools I’ve seen ruined from condensation in them is ridiculous. For the containers we used for break shacks most of the crew carried 5 gallon buckets in with them for lunch as a habit in wintertime just to prop our feet off of the freezing floor. The job I spent 12 years on where the containers were more permanent we actually used R30 insulation on the bottom of them. After the fiberglass batting was in between the bulkheads we screwed either sheet metal or 4x8 sheets of what looked like nylon to the bottom of them. The nylon sheets were really nothing more than plastic dump truck bed liner cut into manageable sizes. The government branch worked at the same site but independently of us. They learned after the second winter how much humidity condenses in those containers. Two of the 40’ configuration were theirs, one of which housed much of the GPS computer hardware, signal repeaters, as well as radio communication electronics. They learned the hard way which caused much delay in the beginning phases of the job. Sadly as it was a government contract, that money comes from our pockets. Anyway, back to the original subject, if I’m too late and you’ve already begun roofing your shop there is still a solution. The solution may be a bit more on the pricey side but it’s more of a last resort. Expanding foam can be added at just about any time to the void under your containers but should be applied by a professional, hence the additional cost. The reason I mention professional installation is from a firsthand account of seeing what it does to the floor of the container. During a bridge job one of the company bosses thought he’d be slick and try insulating what had been the tool and rigging container while the rest of us were eating lunch in the other shack. The floor was strong enough to twist about 7/8 of the bulkheads in the bottom before turning into a busted splintered mess with around 10” of the outside skin warped at the bottom. You have my most sincere apologies for dragging this out so long on your comments section. Just hope to get the message to you soon enough so you’re not backtracking later to spend extra time and money on what could be a much easier, cheaper process now. If anything else, do your own research on the subject to form your own conclusion, just thought it best to make you aware.

[@mikefield7444]

The 2 of you have gotten so good at using the equipment so well. Love how the you both work together so well. Can't wait to see what is coming next.

[@jnormanton]

The worst part of these videos is when they end I can watch them all day long.

[@ColeMarkusen]

That trailer is freaking neat, had no idea such a thing existed. Awesome little transformer.

[@thisolesignguy2733]

haha "We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting, moving trailers."

[@SegoMan]

@@thisolesignguy2733 That is in the visible spectrum, if they saw what happened in the cloaked mode there would be mass hysteria...

[@ASiembieda]

Same! That trailer is freakin awesome!

[@mosbysmen]

if you set that roof on the containers up for rain catchment you will get massive amount of water every rain

[@ronblack7870]

that's a great idea

[@DeanJohnson67]

that is such a good idea! protected cold storage on each side for some items with a huge amount of space for additional protected from mother nature storage in the middle!

[@billynonofyourbusiness3434]

I am impressed that you were able to do several different 'topic' videos at the same time. I recognize that your fill dirt is from the water video. You were essentially working on multiple projects at once in a few of your videos. Yet, you managed to edit them in such a way that each video is one project.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Things got a little crazy around here this summer! 🤪

[@billynonofyourbusiness3434]

I can't even begin to imagine HOW crazy it got this summer! Keep up the good work!@@AmbitionStrikes

[@dmwi1549]

That’s smart planning for content creation. These guys know how to do it so well.

[@Michele_Joe]

AmbitionStikes at great at both the work being done and all that pre & post production

[@CaptainKseadog1]

The overall plan is coming together. The excavator & Skidsteer have paid for them selves many times over. The storage area will save your equipment through the Winters. You guys rock! ❤

[@freeidaho-videos]

Anyone can fill a dump truck. But a good measure of a backhoe or excavator operator is the ability to cut to a grade. Nice work. Cool trailer. I remember seeing those mechanisms on the back of big luxury cars.

[@leocornett3428]

just a few ideas 1 extend the rafters to the edge of the containers,gets rid of the flat roofs,large area for solar panels to heat the units and dipstick heaters.2 use part of your old road to make a rock crushing area,this is to make your own gravel.collect the snow melt into a cistern. just a think

[@jonclark8271]

It understandably the need for work shop positioned away and not to be pounding and sawing and causing fumes with a baby sleeping upstairs. Especially, will be good not to have to freeze while shoveling snow and ice off everything this winter. It is really a treat to watch all this come together . Great job !

[@fredericrike5974]

I've been thinking you were in need of a machinery shed. Great plan! Yes, Riley, I've accused you not only of having plan, but a successful one!

[@ModernMountainLiving]

Back in the 70's we built a barn like this using Reefer Railroad Cars, it is still used on that ranch today. My UGLY TRUTH video on Containers was to help those that want to live in one, this is a Good Use for them. Storage Containers, now that has a ring to it. I Like your work.

[@billvandenouden7302]

Hey guys, this is bill, I just wanna tell you. I'm going to your lumber yard to buy those concrete Poles for my Pole barn and load up. My trailer with trust is and if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have never saw how to really make that Paul barn last a long time. I appreciate you guys your videos are always awesome. I'll be up there today, long drive, talk to you.

[@ahorseman4ever1]

I'm so excited for you three! To have an instant second shop! That is awesome. Can't wait to see it continue.

[@LL-pd9dg]

Hello Riley, I have 4 shipping containers used for storage. Under 3 of them, I used vapor barriers on the ground. This greatly reduces the moisture level inside. I used polyethylene film with 90 lb roofing rolled over the top of the plastic film. The containers were placed on railroad cross ties, providing an air space below. It also gives room for storage of items such as pipe. Good luck with the project, Len

[@robertlong9029]

You guys have come so far! You are proof that if you work hard and delay gratification for a while, you can really get ahead in America! So proud of you guys.

[@StephanLeming]

Dude I must say your welding has gotten way better.

[@12jeeplover]

Looks really sweet, but don't forget to pitch those containers so the water sheds towards the outside and not into the covered area.

[@andrew6446]

That is so great to see that container come all the way in on the road

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We still can’t believe how easy it was to get them up here!

[@andrew6446]

Hard work and daring ambition pay off, well done love watching @@AmbitionStrikes

[@jamesfurlong8727]

Thanks for letting us know about the delivery of your newest container. I hope you can get the trusses up and covered before the snow arrives!,

[@rkalle66]

You should put your containers on some elevation. Maybe railroad ties just under the corners. Thus you can open the doors even when there is a foot of snow in front of the doors.

[@StanleyKubick1]

you guys' enthusiasm is what people are drawn to, I think what the project happens to be doesn't matter as much

[@christelting1359]

Wow. Never would have thought of using storage containers as quick and dirty roof support. You still have the containers for indoor storage and a carport in the middle. Very smart.

[@swampcastle8142]

Fun. The joy of moving dirt. Best time me and the kids had on the youngest's birthday. Rented a front loader from HD and got 32cf of fill. They road around with me all day leveling the back yard.

[@MaxC925]

the googly eyes kills me every time ♥

[@patriot8087]

Thanks!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thank you very much!

[@rjchandler6477]

Hope you all are still enjoying the idaho life. I havent lived anywhere else but wouldn't want to.

[@rsy427]

Hope the shipping containers will be on concrete blocks to protect the steel containers. Containers on the earth will begin to rust and not last long. Noticed your solar container shop was on bare ground. Steel rusts and with no protection won’t last long

[@jonathanhuggins3010]

That’s awesome man. I have a 16ft dump trailer with 36” sides. It’s all the wood I want to split by myself on a week end lol. I do enjoy it though! Keep wackin and stackin!

[@jasonpittman7470]

Perfect music for the team effort container placement.

[@SirCarlosMusicBMI]

I can’t wait to see what you do with your shipping containers. I absolutely love the idea of making these as functional as possible. Have a great weekend my KZbin friends. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

[@winky32174]

Great idea for a storage/shelter. Can't wait for next week!

[@terrancesnyder9323]

GOOD SUNDAY MORNING

[@aaronm9478]

I love those dual container setups. I'd love to have a shop like that. @ 14:41 "This might be a really bad idea." If y'all had a dollar for every time Riley says that, y'all could retire. LOL!

[@circlewindranch]

I can’t even tell you how much I appreciate both of your talents, and the way you work together is so special for a couple. You just feed off of each others talents and appreciate all the adventures along the way. You make my Sundays, thank you!

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Thank you so much for the very kind words and support! It’s been a long road of tough days to get to this point and we are so thankful we get to work together every day.

[@rmd9032]

I can't believe what great shape you're in after just having a baby! You look awesome Courtney!!!

[@Skiridr22]

Fulcrum n Lever always works 😂😂😂

[@MrMice...]

The 80s action-music-montage during first container placement...👌

[@ralphswartz7961]

On your snow blower that you just repaired, you should weld a plate on the back edge of the snow blower so you can reinstall the skid shoes.

[@ryanharriss7950]

How cool that you have the machinery- and that you both can operate them!

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

5:40 - Glad to hear you are getting 2-3 gallons/hour out of your shallow well I think rain water harvesting in summer will be a must. I would like to see your water treatment system once it is installed.

[@bubbamuddigger6252]

Best thing about shipping containers, a skid will fit in them. Back it in in the summer and drive it in in the winter incase the battery dies

[@NateWoodbury]

I love your content. Keep up the great work!

[@donalddodson7365]

That was super! That crab-walking trailer is a new one for me. Certainly validated the road upgrades, too. Well done. QUESTION: How does Oliver know to look at the camera? He looks right at it on cue.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

I think he loves the fuzzy microphone! 🤣

[@kingrafa3938]

Another BIG project that i'm super excited to watch and follow the build.

[@lambobuilder]

What a great project. I love the concept and the innovation you two tackle. Great job. Can't wait till next episode.

[@lnwolf41]

I hope you will put some type of pad under the containers. My other worry is the earth settling when spring comes. The ditch should take 99% of the water, but it will still sink into the earth too.

[@dalepowell6815]

You guys are amazing the way you ''git er done.''

[@evil17]

Good job guy’s this will be great when finished, really enjoyed the old container house cutaway too.

[@jbarvideo12]

Thanks Cour5tney, Riley and Oliver for making, editing and uploading this Team effort of moving 2 giant 40' trailers exactly where you had prepared and marked it! Loved seeing the repair of the snow blower. Look forward to seeing you install the bargain roof trusses and install a roof above.

[@2008mjb]

It seems pretty sunk in there so the question is, will there be enough sun down there to maybe make adding some more solar worth it. Winter being the time you need it the most, I am guessing that the trees will block most of the sun. If nothing else you could setup a few panels to use for a local lighting and trickle charging setup for just that one building. Do everything off of 12v DC even and keep it super simple.

[@chrisoakey9841]

the ditch at the back looks shallow for snow. but nce pad. and a cool storage area. i would run cables between the reinforcing bars on each shipping container to add some more support for those trusses. the roof looks shallow for snow so a bit more support would be insurance.

[@theburtseoni]

No can ever have too much storage space, or a place to park vehicles and machinery! I'm glad to see the road so much improved before winter, and the addition of much needed cover for your equipment and machinery. You two (plus little Oliver) are really doing a great job!!

[@tonyprano6066]

Looks like a great spot to enlarge your solar system as well.

[@dblomqu1]

Ha ha ha! I LOVE the 80's movie montage music while adjusting the containers! PERFECT! Who ever chose that is my hero!

[@lambobuilder]

Love the engineering detail. First one I watch on Sunday morning. Your videography is first class. Hats off to you both.

[@alfblack2]

wow! that is a fancy high tech trailer. never knew those things existed.

[@hounddog410amms]

Why didn't you put gravel under the container?

[@johnmorris739]

Loved the video. The music choice was amazing! Amazing content

[@Sembazuru]

I love that the eyes on the excavator are still there.

[@CityDude72]

That is so great you found a convenient and cheap water source! I hope it produces water for decades for you.

[@GrantRTanner]

That will be some seriously useful space. Awesome!

[@entertainmentforall6609]

The fact that the googly eye has survived is hilarious!! Love you guys.

[@larryorr3571]

Awesome Job! This is going to be a great usable storage and parking facility, much needed! Take Care you Three! Tom

[@jeraldheinrich3589]

Looking forward to the rest of the project.

The value you are adding to this property is phenomenal 🎉

[@jamescheever7982]

That dozer coulda made all your stuff on same level ... but hind sight is always that way!! Great idea keeping stuff under cover n prepping for winter ... material bins at base of property would be nice for bulk gravel n such ... or blasting n making your own like camarata

It looks great!! Keep up the good work.

[@waderue]

Yes I love it, I want to do the same thing I saw a guy on KZbin who took 4 containers, and he stacked 2 on one side and 2 on the other, and then put two in the back and put the roof on and he got concern pad on inside and it is a huge shop with bays on each side for stuff tools and part just how ever you do it up is great i love it

This two shipping container workshop/covered storage area idea is something I've been kicking around for quite some time, but have yet to implement. I am therefore glad you two are tackling it; perhaps I can get some fresh ideas. Thanks. All I need is a skidsteer and an excavator, ha ha.

[@VelcorHF]

I've never seen a trailer like that. Thats really cool.

[@keithherring5462]

I wish I lived closer I'd love to come help set some trusses!

[@donmathias1705]

I used a 20' for my kitchen and cloths dressing area. In winter it froze inside and dripped badly. The next summer I covered with large hay bales, the 3' wide x 3' x 8' long I got farmer to make long. We're a perfect fit. Covered in black plastic and tyres. Coldest to got was 11 C and warmest 24 C. Had double glazed, double doors in door end. Main doors permantly open. Outside temp from -8C to +39C. Changed my comfort level hugely.

[@jimcoplan9502]

You got the containers in. It will be a good project to do the roofing.

[@toolmantim613]

Love the container shop build! I have 2 high cube containers that I am going to do the same with. Can't wait for the rest of the videos. Keep up the great videos guys!

[@rs2024-s4u]

I am a big fan of re-purposing and this project makes shipping containers and used trusses look great (not an easy lift) while providing much needed area to keep your equipment out of direct outside environment which will pay you huge dividends as time goes by in keeping your equip. in tip top shape. NICE!! Ray

[@Journey-unlocked]

after setting it on the table... my first thought ... NICE TABLE XD

[@kennethgibbons366]

So pleased that you are creating workshop/storage unit for your machinery. So I am looking forward to watch your progress. Keep well - Oliver looks a great kid!
