Watch as we start to repair the rust on our shipping containers and get them placed on our DIY foundation. This whole process definitely hasn't been easy but we couldn't be happier with our progress so far. Make sure you subscribe so you can follow us on our journey!

[@carminevitale4867]

"Uncontained Painting" LOL. I admire you guys for the adventure you set upon. You both have great outlooks, and I enjoy watching your videos. Kudos to you both!!

[@RawFoodMuscle]

So awesome to see shipping containers transformed into a home. I bought a 40 footer for storage and made 12 feet of it into a huge cold box. Amazing job guys, look forward to seeing how it turns out.

[@czoubek]

Oh man that's a great idea... Youve just inspired me! Definitely turning one side into a huge game cooler!

[@Wickedjc2119]

Shipping containers are in service for 20 years you can check the plaque on the door. It's kinda cool to think your house has taken the scenic route and traveled all over the world. Before it's final resting spot

[@Skiskiski]

Bob Rust Uncontained painting!

[@skeebles8469]

Awesome. You guys should use a rust converter. Dust sand, rinse and apply and it will turn the rust into a primer that you can paint. My family buys and sells containers out of California and we use it all the time for surface rust. It's really inexpensive to buy. Love your videos by the way.

[@raulmorales7155]

NOW THIS IS THE PART I HAVE BEEN THE MOST CURIOUS ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!! You two are the greatest.

[@valfunk4669]

Looking forward to seeing the containers have more life to them!!!!

[@blissfulacresoffgridhomest2098]

SWEET! I can hardly wait to see how your home evolves. In a couple of years we will begin to build a project like this. Right now we have been working on the well house, the greenhouse, and our solar system. We've been on our property for a year now.

[@melaniewallace6912]

I just found y'all's channel ......... I LOVE it! I LMAO. Very fun and informative. I will be binge watching for the next couple of days.

[@KeepingItDutch]

Awesome, you guys are doing great!!

[@thesmiffers]

Love it! You guys have come a long way, not only in your skills building a house from containers, but your production quality now is definitely professional and refined. However, you have managed to keep your personal charm and touch. Good work from the beginning!

[@danaskubic2145]

I could swear I've been watching this build for a couple of years. Amazing how far you have come now. I started watching when you began building the center of the house. Thanks for sharing.

[@LisaRent]

On the snake; I had a rattlesnake try to come in my glass door one day when we lived in California. I also found a different rattlesnake just a few inches from my front door one day. Now that we are in the part of Tennessee where there are no rattlesnakes, I thought I could relax. But no. One copperhead in the creek a few feet from my granddaughter and another at the ranch where the grandchildren play on the driveway. Living in snake country (no matter where I live) is an adventure.

[@ericwitcher952]

Is that bad that I'm gitting excited for you. Y'all are doing exactly what I want to do but I'll be a few years behind you I'm so jealous. Just make sure you save the metal you cut of of the containers for future projects. Alsome job.

[@donnapauley8183]

So, we started watching y'all about a year ago. Tonight, my hubby is watching the oldies but goodies. I am with Kenzie on the whole snake thing!! They gotta go!! Not sure what part of Texas y'all are in, but water moccasins are in Texas. They are ornery!! Those snakes were huge!!!! I do know the swing is no longer by the lake. LOL!!!! Bob Ross was hilarious!!

[@mmanut]

There are paints available that reflect the sun's heat away from your containers roof. It works FANTASTIC. It will drop the heat inside by a minimum of 15 degrees. Vinny 🇺🇸

[@michaelmurphy4253]

Cool Coat is one; www.rainguard.com works well, eliminates IR & UV heat gain. I've used it hundreds of times on steel buildings, cell sites, for over 20 years. 2" of interior isopolypropoline foam & 15 mil exterior cool Coat will give you the net effect of a 16" conventional wall section. This technology was originally developed for NASA / shuttle. Good luck with your project!

[@chadm1729]

Uncontained Painting, love the Bob Ross impersonation Spencer.. ..dude that was so hilarious.....Oh I love this color......thats nice.......lmao I fell out laughing, and literally started crying.......that was funny.

[@ronnieschwa2214]

Also if you take a 4 x 4 and a hydraulic jack you can go from the inside and push the dents out of that roof so they know longer hold water

[@____________________________.x]

Yeh, I was thinking that too...

[@CharlesETerry]

Cover whole roof with rubber insulation Paint every 10. Years or so his IDEA wasThe. TOP Comment ON. This. Board so far

[@CharlesETerry]

🤔 think it over🤔🤗☺great video keep it up YX

[@makejoystudio]

Hi, new to your channel. Just wanted to share, I did a graduate class about the architect Glenn Murcutt, and he talks about touching the earth as lightly as possible in his architecture to preserve the land, and your platform for your containers is just a perfect example of this. Really exciting to see your project in progress.

[@bobholland9924]

Congrats you two . And now the work begins . Have fun with it .

[@hectorm.ruizcruz8723]

Hello !! From Puerto Rico, I wish you health, blessings and long life.

[@leroybrown7757]

... just started "binging" your channel from the beginning this past weekend....so happy (for you'all) that you FINALLY got the containers in place-as of this video- l👀 kin' forward to continuing to watch your progress/journey from here on out p.s. I wholeheartedly agree with the quality/editing/humor/info..and just plain entertainment value.. with you'alls vids ❤️👍

[@bmrjma2144]

I love the music playing during the containers moving. I just LOVE that song.

[@allennasty3cw897]

McKenzie your the best, you are so appreciative that it makes you emotional, when you said you cried , I went awwww, 😊 the containers look good off the ground. And good explanation on what your doing and what's next, and awesome editing skills. You make it entertaining to watch. Good stuff guys. Excited to see your next video.

[@allennasty3cw897]

@Jupp Schlabutt , your right Got it. 👍🏼

[@pinkywilliams8063]

It's so cool to go back and view the older vlogs...

[@CutandShoot5x5]

I think this is so cool to document your process! I totally agree with the patina & the storage container door look! You are 2 of the most incredibly talented young people I’ve seen and welcome to Texas!

[@dudaoutloud]

I found this channel yesterday and I have binged-watched the videos since then. I am amazed at the progress you have made and I am excited to see this project unfold! I wish (and I bet you do too) that the project was done so I could see the end result, however I will be faithfully following (and recommending) these videos. Good luck!

[@vettepicking]

in the future use a rust converter after wirebrushing the heavy pits off, then prime and paint like others said with 2k paint....nice work

[@skroggy66]

Congratulations, following your journey has been a blast.

[@tomwilliams8736]

Cool to watch these videos again and see the massive changes in both your house and filming each episode! Keep up the good work!

[@jamesp7623]

If you have a place available that rents a portable sand blaster you can remove the rust very quickly and easily. Prime the area immediately after rust removal or the rust comes back fairly quickly. Good luck.

[@dutchofsc]

Awesome. I'm exited for you guys. It's a very interesting project.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

That's really cool!! I remember the day we put our shipping container on the top of the footings, it seemed we already had a house, even though we still had a looooog way to go. hehehehe Congrats!!

[@life.uncontained]

Thank you Odd Life Crafting! We’ve actually followed you guys for awhile. We love your channel. What you’re doing is awesome and very inspiring!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks a lot!! We are really happy to know you guys also like our video!!

[@michaelcoghlan5521]

Congrats, I’m really looking forward to following your progress. What an amazing adventure!

[@life.uncontained]

Thank you Michael! 😁

[@FarmerG]

Nice work guys. This was a huge step forward.

[@canuckyank82]

Really interested to see your plans and how this works out. A good start. Congratulations!

[@gambiarran419]

Looks a perfect home for snakes under the containers. Loving the way you guys are documenting the stages as you go, hopefully you will reach a million subs before the end of the build and you can purchase another container with the proceeds 😊 Great job guys looking forward to the next installment

[@life.uncontained]

Thank you Gambi! You’re awesome!

[@challenge792000]

congrats you two! cant wait for this portion of our build.

[@life.uncontained]

Thanks challenge792000!

[@cissymcilwain8964]

Just found your a few weeks ago so I have watching it backwards!

[@davidfricker3258]

On ships we used needle guns to remove the rust, then we'd paint the surface with something like Corroseal 8233? which chemically changes the rust and inhibits further rusting. Then we'd prime and paint with 2 part paints. It is the roof and flooring you have to be most concerned with. You might consider putting on a rubber roof on your containers. They'd last longer than you and maintain value. Just a few ideas.

[@life.uncontained]

Great advice David!

[@TruSpec_Gaming]

Interesting Info, i wonder if linex (not sure if it's spelled right.) But the indestructible truck bed liner would do. Might be worth some investigation.

[@sindrome303]

Guys I live in Australia, and I use to work for Royal Wolf shipping containers. I am also a welder fabricator by trade. First the wire wheel you used for the first bit is exactly what you need to do to all the rusty spots. However it would be far easier, faster, and better if you used a 5 in angle grinder. trust me your going to need one anyway. Once you have got rid of all the, we call them rust oysters. then treat the metal with phosphoric acid based rust converter. this changes the iron oxide, (rust) into iron phosphate. then its ready for paint, and the rust wont come back for many years. secondly for places like the roof, and anywhere unseen Please paint the bare metal with a bitumen/tar based underbody deadener, like what they use under cars. this tar based paint will stop the rust from ever returning. basically it doesn't ever set underneath. unlike rubber based products. do not use rubber based paints over steel. the rust will form and spread underneath the paint. Iam going through the exact same process right now, building a home with 2 20ft containers, and a caravan park home. looking forward to following your build.

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Ram2 I know you know.

[@denniswarren3211]

Extend by Loctite in another excellent product which converts the rust and leaves surface ready to paint.

[@calbuilder7357]

You guys are obviously doing a great job and you literally very entertaining!

[@MyPintado]

2:45 LOL the gift that keeps on giving

[@thenickborowski]

I started watching and following here and watched every video since 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@stevestanley5183]

Awesome thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

[@johnm2482]

Great video series so far... Looking forward to seeing come together. BTW, I have a lot of friends and family in the hill country of Texas. The formula there is: Texas + Crawl Space = Many unwanted critters (i.e. snakes, skunks, possums, etc.) Make sure to seal up the space well, unless you don't mind having your very own nursery down there...

[@ronnieschwa2214]

You might want to consider a product designed especially for metal roofs on trailers The name of the product is cool seal is designed to be a waterproofing component that also reflects the sun keeping the metal container cooler in the summer if you get the one that is silver in color

[@TerraFirmaX]

Binge watching.

[@warren519]

Love your channel & love both you guys, so down to earth, love it. Keep it up

[@timestamp.]

You guy’s are so lucky to look out your window and see a beast of burden enjoy be happy💜💜💜🐾

[@thebeachhousebasel]

just found your videos and am loving every minute of it. much love all the way from switzerland 😉💗

[@barrb6134]

If the funds permit you could have left 15 or 20 feet between the two containers, then added rafters or trusts" between the two and had an additional storage or breezeway under roof. For additional storage for misc equipment to maintain your property.

[@DanielSmithDreamDigital]

Yall should put a spout eventually in the center of that pond. It would clean it up to aerate it that way.

[@robertlemoine3500]

I loved the Bob Ross

[@Huzzahgamers_inc]

Re watching all the videos, so far so good :D

[@Grungni]

Two happy little containers 'Bob'.

[@sweetnsoursusan]

future self tip, place your containers where your garden will be!

[@jaycollins5251]

Great job guys

[@jeremy87turbo87]

Love watching you guys love what you're doing very cool you seem so relaxed are you on muscle relaxers or are you just always. Relaxed you're the most chill girl I've ever met

[@sdvma]

Good for you guys!

[@robviolin1]

You guys are doing a great job. 👍

[@life.uncontained]

Thank you robviolin1! 😃

[@valfunk4669]

Looking good!!!

[@peterlevy1682]

You are funny. Love you comments and vlogs. Keep them coming. Peter from Wollongong, Australia

[@robertlemoine3500]

Great show ,very entertaining and fun,Thankyou

[@margaretcoronado4225]

Hi I'm from Wisconsin I just started watching some of your episodes and I love the fact that you're using semi trailers for your home my ex-boyfriend was from Florida and we were on the road for about five to six years I wish we would have did something like this but honestly he's better off in LOL 😂 but I'm going to keep watching y'all I'm enjoying all that land with you wow that's a blessing very happy for you

[@williamhustonrn6160]

I highly recommend you use a tar based paint for the top, also primer is breathable, so it will allow water to absorb into it and start more rust, so dont wait to long on painting it. Something that can speed up the rust repair is renting a sand blaster or buy a cheap one and cheap blasting media, you can get 50lb bags of blasting material at rural king for $5 a bag, just buy a giant tarp to spread out around the area so you can catch a large portion of the media and then use a magnet to remove the metal from it, recycle and repeat blasting the rust away. lastly i had lots of rusting from condensation on my container i use for a workshop only, you need to spray the inside with closed cell foam insulation to prevent the condensation from occurring inside the container.

[@Baelish-fx7ew]

I have been binge watching these videos for 2 days now almost non stop. Suddenly I found myself looking at land for sale..

[@TinyHouseCustoms]

Nicely done.

[@terralldingman3549]

I totally relate regarding the snakes!

[@waderue]

very nice i hope show every thing on how you build it , it give people idea on just easy this is and all the thing you can do to them

[@JJKHaywood]

Nice looking property, But personally I would never Container build. In spite of my personal preference, it is interesting watching eager young minds and their projects.

[@Tomhohenadel]

Nice area, I guess it’s in the hill country of Texas. We spend our winters in the Canyon lake area. Good progress good plan. Have a great day

[@offgridsweden]

Really awesome. You are making some huge progress now. Have a great weekend Andreas from Off Grid Sweden

[@SuperHurdman]

Spencer I am a welder for like ever on the rust thing you could use a good quality grinding wheel to take off the heavy stuff you can run on your cut off grinder and they have several products on the market that you brush on that makes a protective coating converting the rust to neutral and then you can paint over it. The stuff I am thinking of is the color of milk. just thought to mention to make life a little easier.

[@valfunk4669]

Yay the crane is here!!!

[@hadessahsmith7270]

Try the idea of getting automotive undercoating paint treatment for under the shipping containers which will put an end to any rust. Get it at an automotive paint store, they will tell you how to do it.

[@dsmmike95]

Hi just found y'all welcome to Texas loving y'alls videos doing a great job

[@life.uncontained]

Thank you dsmmike95!

[@johnpaulochoa3375]

Nice Job!

[@bobmurphy5609]

Love the hot t-top and short shorts weather.

[@syedrashid2247]

Aah...Finally the containers reached where they should be. Now waiting to see the conversion of them from rusty, ugly metal into a lovely home. Good luck for both of you.

[@dasbronco]

i just found your guys channel today and love the videos so far. i do body work on cars and the best thing to do with rust removale is to sand blast it fisrt with crushed glass. good luck guy and keep up the good work

[@boydclements6622]

I already borrowed an idea from you. I had a container delivered this week. Not a complete house but a theft resistant storage for tools and material. The plan is to put a roof over it and a deck on the north side. 20 ft container 32 x 16 roof. need the space for solar panels. Anyway County wont permit it unless the container has a foundation so bingo I will weld in my corners and meet the requirements. Great Idea! I can't wait to see how you join them and insulate them. I Need more good ideas!

[@Ecuazone]

Good job, inspiring me to do the same.

[@WACRE44]

This is so cool thanks

[@valfunk4669]

Lol yes I would be freaking out the whole time too

[@johyn]

one of the best parts was this painting gig. hilarious. [;ease stp[ saying literally.

[@robertjackson4121]

The structure point is the corner not two feet in. No rough plumbing and electrical. Should have put down visqueen for moisture barrier. Would have offset four foot deck each end. Would have put foam insulation and rodent proof critters will move in to stay warm. First choice cement block. Perimeter . There are some web sites on container engineering dos and not. Do video on your design plan and approval of building permit. Otherwise inspector will change things . Standard first inspection roof, rough framing windows doors rough plumbing. Ask building dept for meeting of any code adjustments and identify all container projects done previously. Then can have community hearing to scope change orders or special code amendments for all projects.

[@toddkratzer7953]

They should have never used a shipping container in the first place. Build a normal home for christ sakes.

[@jaycollins5251]

I will eventually see every episode

One word for Rust, Ospho. It does wonders for Rust clean up.

[@Rooster000]

you guys are funny addicted to this channel.

[@dibley1973]

Just found your channel and I'm looking forward to going through your build videos. It might be easier for all viewers if you put them all in a play list. :)

[@arthall688]

Guys, the best product I have ever used for rust is POR-15. It is pricey but super effective.

[@toddkratzer7953]

I used POR-15 on my F-150 frame. Primer and finish coat and after one year i see rust coming through.

[@NYBwilk]

New fav. Channel

[@clarencewiles963]

Thumbs up 👍 elevated is good 😊

[@totherarf]

I think you need to look at insulating your walls and roof! After that you can use a membrane or other barrier with a slope to allow water to run off rather than pooling. You can then have water catchment .... if that is what you are going for ;0) You do need to rustproof the metalwork, but if you are insulating (Kingspan is good, but you may have alternatives in the US) you should not be getting the metalwork wet ... so no corrosion! I would look at Sacrificial Anodes to prolong the container life too, and Now is the ideal time to install it cheaply! There are a whole slew of things you should be looking at right now in order to incorporate the good ideas into your design before running into problems, and maybe having to re-do aspects of your home! ..... Best of luck!

[@dm8867]

Cold galvanizing spay paint is the best primer.

[@MyHeart1955]

I didn’t know catchment was a word. YOU ARE RIGHT! “The addition of collecting water, especially the collection of rainfall over a natural drainage area.” I’ve been through 16 years of education and never heard once that word. I thought it was another 21st century made up word like “fantastical” ...everybody’s adding “ical” on the end of every adjective.

[@ChaoticAeris]

ASMR Bob Ross tutorial. Thanks Spencer 🤣

[@joeychaseable]

Only thing I would do differently is added two more containers. Two containers stacked on top one another, one buried like a basement. I would have placed it where the "back door" is going to be, in the center of your existing containers. Entering the one above ground from your existing containers would be similar to a brick and mortar "Tri level" home... A couple steps down to enter into the "new" container. Maybe a sweet ass spiral stair case to enter the basement? I just think it would have been cool to have a "safe spot" in case of a tornado or whatever. Not only that but, the one buried would stay a constant temperature and you could use it to store food or... Whatever you're hearts desired. If you ever decide you want to add another container or two in the future, it's a thought for ya's to consider. I wish you both nothing but, the best with whatever the future brings ya's. Thanks for the interesting/informative & entertaining content!
