Couple Builds Shipping Container Shelter In 2 Days (A Christmas Miracle)

[@artoh2863]

Keep a long rope on top of the canopy,if it snows a lot you can both walk on the containers and drag the rope along the canopy. It will take the snow off

[@Dave--FkTheDeepstate]

Liked, great idea! I've seen videos of that rope trick on sloped, house roofs before. Disclosure: I have spent almost zero time living in winter conditions like this. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 1. If most of the snow from the canopy ends up on top of the cargo containers, it could quickly become hard to walk on it to pull the rope. So they may need a longer rope that'll reach the far sides of both shipping containers. 2. I understand the strength of arches, but I'm a little concerned about the several thousands of pounds of snow that may eventually be resting on top of the canopy. I wouldn't want to be under there if the canopy collapses. 3. Also, is it less likely for the snow to slide off this canopy, versus a sloped roof? Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of Meg, this channel, and my first time seeing this canopy between two shipping containers.

[@bobs3501]

Another great video kids !!! thanks.

[@terencemerritt]

This channel deserves massive sponsorships

[@sprtplt]

Except it is from Canada, that will always hurt with the Adsense.

[@stevebalser4649]

It has been a pleasure watching the two of you put your place together. Reminds me of my life 50 years ago.

[@Incaensio]

That delivery truck is one of the coolest things I've seen in a while.

[@CC-Rider4564]

Yep 👍🏼 Many of Building and container delivery trucks have gone to those remote control 🎛️ trailers. What I think 🤔 is a cool invention is those outbuilding delivery companies have that remote control building mover. It's a little machine looks like a miniature Bull dozer on tracks much like a skid steer. Very cool machine on tracts to put buildings in precise spots & not destroy people's yards and properties. Technology & innovation has came a very long ways 😁👍🏼

[@AB-so3jv]

I love how well you work together!! You guys are a team!!

[@billroberts3864]

Meg and Mike, your positive energy is refreshing as you tackle erecting the shipping container cover system. This cover will help protect your RV, CAT skid steer and other equipment. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you great folks.

[@arkham67]

What a glorious couple you are. Every time I watch you my faith in humanity takes a very welcome upturn.

[@meturns4666]

What a beautiful piece of fresh air you two are , every time I watch you both you remind me of what can be achieved with a positive attitude, love , support and brains . Your both amazing people and have brightened up my year incredibly, thanks, God bless from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@sergeeternal3778]

One GREAT video. Even though I'm 70 y o, I'm still learning a lot from you guys! Thumbs up! 😊

[@jerrylittle7797]

That is awesome. The shelter is a game-changer for the development of the property. Happy New Year!

[@donaldhalls2189]

Excellent job, certainly better than just the van, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones, hope you had a Merry Christmas

[@lorenmeyer5290]

WOW that's awesome! Great to get the equipment under cover! Now you need to close in the ends that would help with the winds!

[@JoeB-zi1jz]

Sweei, You guys really made that shelter installation look easy! The No Name manufacturer of the enclosure should pay you an advertising fee for installing their product.

[@CC-Rider4564]

Absolutely she/they should've reached out to the manufacturer and said Hey 👋🏼 we have a YT channel with 100K + Subscribers and we're needing this shelter. If you'll give us One Free of Charge We will advertise it for you on our installation video and periodically mention it in our videos. We will also keep it in the description list of products we use on our channel of all of our videos going forward. This way people who see it on our videos can look you up in our products description with your link to contact you for purchase and others can also buy this same product from you. They could've told the people they bought it from it would be tax deductible for a donation for advertising or charity however they do it in their country. But with 100K subs they can now start reviewing products for companies, & getting products for free for the channel advertising of those products. So yep 👍🏼😁👍🏼 you're right they should've reached out to them to do an advertisement deal in exchange for a free or extremely discounted item and using it as well as advertising it for the company.

Meg and Mike, Thanks for allowing me to watch you guys. That Bobcat is the best and most useful equipment you ever purchased. One more hand or friend to help would have been very useful. If I didn't live a couple thousand miles away, I would love to lend a hand. Can't wait for your next video. Keep up the good work. By the way, my flag business is doing well.

NICE JOB ! Mike you have the Best Laborer. Really enjoy your Adventure and Hard Work TOGETHER!!

[@markpashia7067]

Open the doors of the other container and ramp and pack gravel up to about an inch shy of floor level and you have another garage space too. Lots of room and contents will add to anchor weight. At least until you have other plans for the space. Just a thought. Fill er up.

[@v1rotait23]

A wonderful achievement you guys getting the container roof up by yourselves. - Superbly done. If you get winds in your valley, you might want to shift some heavy stuff from the workshop container over the to new empty container to help weigh it down to prevent the whole roof becoming a sail if the wind gets a hold of it. Also, a fitted tarp hung at the back end of the roof and tied to the container ends will help to keep you sheltered and protected from any through wind flow, making a pleasant place to live underneath! I love watching you two accomplish things with such enthusiasm and joy. Merry Christmas from a cool, snowfree, and hopefully warming summer down under in NZL, David

[@bradyusko6333]

I would highly recommend getting those shipping containers off the ground. 6 inches minimum and a foot would be better. I'd use solid concrete blocks about a foot square/cube. One on each corner and 2 or 4 more in the center or thirds.

[@velze3228]

Merry Christmas Meg and Mike. Thanks for giving me something to relax to Christmas evening

[@johnmclean4911]

Your travel accommodation trailer was a big help for you both installing your canopy. Plus you really scored with there not being a breath of wind as well. I can imagine it would have be a total nightmare even in a small slightly windy day. 😀👏👏👏

[@ybuszone]

Have always thought this shelter system is the greatest use of containers. Thanks for the video.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Meg and Mike! When I was driving to Alberta in 2019 I saw a lot of farms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan that had old equipment in the fields. Some even had a cache of Chevrolet or GMC trucks from the 70's and 80's!

Looks great , now you can store your machines out of the snow {perhaps a small ramp into the new container for other machinery} and have dry access to your travel trailer. Have a great new year , from a hot mid summer here in South Africa.

No more Shoveling Snow by the front door of the camper, no more tracking in dirt or mud on your shoes & cooler to have shade in the summer 🌞. This will Keep the equipment out of the weather, You'll love it and if you have a dog 🐕 the dog will love it for a cool place to lay in summer and dry place in the rain 🌧️.

[@kelsey809]

I dunno if it’s too late or not but that container should be raised enough that the ground can be sloped downward away from the doors. Snow, water, and ice buildup on the ground can basically make the doors unable to open. Cool stuff! ✌️😊

[@larryperdue508]

You could install a roof heater so snow doesn't accumulate which will make your life easier. Make sure you get a good one that's very deriballe and will last a long time and don't be cheapow 😊😊❤
