My wife does dry wall and tiling. She did our kitchens and bathrooms. We did most of our home in porcelain, granite, marble and hardwood. My hobby is hot rods, building and painting. I have a question, I have stick and tig welders. What are you using for welding jobs on your containers? The corrugated metal probably needs mig, what are you using? What are the requirements for wiring? I suspect EMT, or BX. Couldnt find any references in our electrical code. We are planning a container house, to downsize our life. We have been watching your progress, good job. Congrats Carl

When cutting out the sides of containers, you need to be really careful that the piece doesn't drop and then fall back inside or otherwise, fall in an uncontrolled, cutting someone pretty seriously. One way to do this is to leave a few inches uncut on either side, at the bottom, and cut out the rest, push the top out, so that it falls and then cut the strips keeping it attached at the bottom.

Nice video. 2 thoughts, it would have been easier to cut the lip down before you added the floor joists and 2nd if you had opened the distance between the shipping containers to the standard width of dimensional lumber you would have cut down on the amount of saw work needed and you would have gained a little more square footage on your new home. Beyond those little things I love the idea of the shipping containers, it is a super idea!

Noooooo, Say its not true.... You should have welded square or rectangle tubing not put wood on metal. thats a disaster in a few years. Metal and primed.
