I completely remove the floor so not risk all health issues like; headache, breathing toxic etc. My question is how about the ceiling & wall of the container? Do i need to worry about it?

[@ivettecorrea1496]

Thanks a lot ! Sir always

[@rafiqa1621]

thank you thank you thank you. i have been waiting for the flooring issue to be addressed. i was concerned about chemical spraying of the floors.

[@AL.Ex.83]

Thank you guy

[@johnfrost1373]

Thanks for the video. I don´t understand the concept of the heavy gauge polythene lining on the plywood for avoid the toxic vapours of the plywood? It´s a vapour barrier or a waterproof lining like a normal plastic? It´s to avoid the transmit of humidity between concrete slab and plywood? It´s enough that the plywood breath for your downside to avoid the decay of the plywood? Regards

[@webosm6494]

Another way is to put aluminium foil on the floor and then on top the finish. I use only method one as that eliminates it 100%. If you want to live in it I think it is necessary to remove the floor. Why take any risk, removing it takes about a day. A very short time when compared with the whole time for the project. Epoxy also outgasses. Sealing the floor can cause the wood to rot as it does not 'breath' anymore. Make sure when you seal it the floor is properly dried and also seal it on the bottom. Concrete flooring is very heavy and removes the ability to move the container later, concrete is also porous and not waterproof.

I think that “Mapelastic Aqua Defense 1 gallon waterproof membrane” that is sold at homedepot, it would be cheaper and easier to do instead of removing the floor, what do you think?

[@commercialbroilerchicken3399]

Great video 👍

Where do you check the container history and know what was shipped in it?

[@Carperama]

I bought a 2006 40' container in Florida and mine smells like flowers? Could the smell be flowers or more likely bug spray? I'm going to using mine for storage and a garage, if it is bug spray is it okay to be in there for a couple hours at a time? The tag says it was treated IM/Tailileum 300/2006

[@getoutside5231]

Just remove and replace the original wood flooring with non chemically treated plywood.

But if you seal up toxic waste, you still have toxic waste.

Alex, i am looking into the polythene sheeting method. Can you please point me to a material that meets the requirement? It seems to be more than a simple google search. Thanks.

[@derekalfaro9764]

Alex A yes personally when I hear someone suggest a system for building I start to think about how to mimic it. So since I plan to use laminate, I want to get the “right” polythene, tape, and underlayment. Brand suggestions would be great because then the viewer knows where to look.

[@derekalfaro9764]

Alex. I am in California, the mecca of building materials as I see it, and I have been asking around for that material. No one can give me a NAME. I want to buy the stuff that will block gases; all gases. Do YOU know a name??

[@clusa3721]

@@derekalfaro9764 I wonder if you were sarcastic? Anyway, this is what I found"Polythene sheet Polythene sheeting is a plastic film made from petroleum (you may also hear it referred to as polyethylene sheeting, poly sheeting, plastic sheeting, plastic film and poly film). It's an incredibly versatile product used in a wide range of applications." Yes. many years later .... Greetings from Florida.

You really don't know the ingredients of the marine cargo containers, its safe and FDA grade and accept to move cargo to Australia

[@derekalfaro9764]

LA County seems to only believe in the first method. I like epoxy and the laminate floor with proper underlayments all working in conjunction. I hope LA will budge to this option. Who are these people anyhow? Nice video and information.
