Container castle painting

Painting the new metal work on the container castle.

[@ScarletKnightmare]

It was so tough watching Levi struggle on those stairs. What a great and loyal friend he is. Dogs remind us of our own mortality, because we can watch their whole lifespan in what feels like the blink of an eye. I hope to keep seeing him in these videos, but know it can't last forever 💔

[@jaquigreenlees]

I hope to see Levi in many more videos, just not him painfully going up stairs.

[@TrevorDennis100]

It's sad to say, but he did the right thing getting Kody while Levi is still with us, as it will lessen the blow of Levis eventual passing ever so slightly. It still makes me sad thinking about my dogs that died over the years, but they are a joy to have in your life, and that's the price you have to pay. I heard a story about a man who had black Labs. When one died he got anoth and gave it the same name treating it like the same dog. His way of coping I guess.

Arthur Balls what are you talking about old man all I said is this is what he does. He makes most of his money from u tube. He doesn’t do a lot of outside work because he doesn’t have to because he is doing so well from his channel. I wasn’t putting him down in no way. Most of these guys that have channels wish they were doing as well so they could do the same thing as him. He getting paid to do his home how great is that. You sounds like some 12 yr old coming to protect his idol it ok he can keep care of himself. Lol 😂

[@james_jr]

Hey Dave j...andrew hasn't been monetizing his videos for very long, granted he gets a load of views. I remember long time ago wondering why the hell isn't he trying...lol

[@ChevyDTV]

Love how it came out! You have to paint the roof or the rusty water is just gonna run off and splash on everything below. plus it will repel the water off the roof faster without settling on the iron. Like this comment if you think Andrew Should Paint the Roof!!

[@hettyreefman9379]

Don’t paint it, love the rust color 👍 Just put gutters around against the splash

[@sirmalus5153]

If the roof doesn't get painted, it will rust through or even de-laminate in time. I'd hate to try finding a pinhole rust point in all those welded seams to stop a small leak in years ahead. All that would take some years to happen though.

[@roddypryce454]

I think Andrew should paint the roof. If it was copper it would form a green patina and be stable but the iron will keep on rusting and pinholes will eventually appear on the surface over time. That’s why they paint cars and tractors etc.

[@bolsby]

Even if you only did a primer coat of rust paint would look good ( look finished )

[@truecrimejungle]

can he paint it a rusted steel colour? lol

Deplorable Centrist I recently had to have a pet put to sleep.... Eva was a wonderful wonderful dog. Smart, loving and polite. I miss her. I got her as a rescue, she was a pit bull that was abused, so I made damn sure the last 10 years of her life she was pampered and wanted for nothing. She never once offered to harm anyone, she loved to scare the local cats out of their minds, but she never harmed one, mostly because Pit bulls give cats super speed and wings! I miss that dog.

Epoxy is a no go with the uv light. poly urethane would be better.

[@kennapop3]

Epoxy on exposed upper floors as well. I seem to remember you had a problem with condensation when heating your building, are you thinking about insulating those areas.

[@DavidSuttoninSpain]

The only problem with leaving the roof left to rust, is that when it rains all the rust stains will go on the floors, walls, of the lower floors and walls, making a mess and not very nice to look at.

[@davidpook5778]

That was my first thought .

Its important to elevate their water too. When its on the ground they swallow too much air trying to get the water down which leads to gastric problems.

Long after us, Andrew’s castle will become a tourist attraction, ppl will still be visiting his castle 300 yrs from now when it’s still standing strong! LoL In Arizona they have a tourist attraction called “mystery castle”. A man was forced to leave his family behind and relocate to Arizona after being diagnosed with TB. At the time it was a death sentence, so he decided to spend his remaining time building his daughter a castle. The castles anything but ordinary, it’s definitely worth a visit if you get the chance. The backstories just as interesting as the castle itself.

or rust out a bit more and then clear coat

[@coffeefish]

The welds will be the first to rust out.

[@adamgm84]

Also don't forget that a white roof will reflect sun energy back up into the atmosphere, helping avoid climate warming. An even more advanced solution could be to plant greenery on the roof because that will simulate having no building there at all. You may even attract bees and help your local biodiversity and lifecycles.

[@adamgm84]

Period-correct castles used yellow or pink limestone, so if you wanted it to be more castle-like, you could use the yellowish limestone colour and get probably lots of the benefits of having a white roof.
