Container Home Build in pictures Part 1

This video shows the progression of the construction of a house using two shipping containers welded together. Total square footage ends up being 640 sq.ft. (container sizes: 8' x 40') about the size of a one bedroom apartment.

The joy of arriving at a house you built with your own bare hands !!! not even a mansion beats it

[@oilspeculatorhater]

Thank you for taking and sharing those fine photos. What great work.

[@Rpearce79]

I have thought about doing that since I was a kid, great job! I look forward to seeing it completed..

[@nolanritchie9761]

so you had the drop ship trucks just drop the containers side by side as close as possible. then used the backhoe to lift up the ends and squeeze the 2 containers up against each other?

[@VietVet-fh6ti]

That's what I want!!! How did you get the conexes up onto the blocks? Did you install an I beam on the floor at the box junctions too or just weld the halves together? What about the joints where the boxes came together on the ends?Mr . Carpenter, these boxes are typhoon and hurricane proof. That's why people use them. Bravo, sir!

I love how this guy works in dress slacks and a dress shirt lol. Banker by day, homebuilder at night. great work though. I want to construct a shopping container home as well.

It's great to experiment as a new home owner. I really like this idea of container homes. A couple of points about constructability: (a) prepare road conditions for transport; (b) space temporary foundations blocks away from permanent foundations because this container needs more area at the footer and it needs to be mechanically fixed to concrete(hand mixed in this case); (c) consider space between the container (1) container width for a garden or common space. The affect on roof trussing is very small but you get this out of container feeling. Backfill with gravel to a cement screed to floor level of containers. (d) when you construct by yourself or with a contract demand for yourself Safety. One fall, one slip, one object to your eye can have financial consequences and delay. :o) Thanks for the nice video and good luck!!!!!

looking forward on your part 2. i am planning to build a few 20 footer cabins for our next year's "visit my hometown" here in tambunan sabah.

definitely enjoyed watching this thank you for sharing 😉😃

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Love the simplicity of your design! We are currently building a container home in the Pacific Northwest. Keep up the great work!

[@Superduty_59]

Awesome. I want to make a stacked Hi Cube two story house out of shipping containers. Yours looks amazing!

[@guyh.4553]

1st off, nice work.

The I-beam down the center is a nice way to bridge the gap but it will only lay vertical if your containers are matched in side height. There is some variation between container manufacturers. Mismatched container roof joints can be bridged with 2" x 1/8" steel strip (I had half a 4x8 sheared into strip which was cheaper than buying flat bar but YMMV). I tacked then welded the seam with E71T-11 flux core wire in a suitcase wire feeder.

Wow supper beautiful in the house container solid a house 🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️ wishes of house container wow supper solid good job

[@wildswan221]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing details!

[@JohnSmith-mh6bq]

good job man but so many ways to do this project. The sky is the limit to what you can do with shipping containers. New or used.

[@tassiespirit]

Nice build, here in Australia, you have to have the higher containers. Building regulations will not accept the 8' high containers. Some people use the old refrigerated containers as they are already insulated.
