I guess I’ll need to learn welding for cutting the windows and doors in steel containers. I can take welding classes at the local community college. I have basic skills. The foam spray insulation will not be enough to insulate according to code in Navajo County.

Making the window frames from the metal that you just cut out saves on money (not on work) and the frames will then be from the same corten steel that is pretty good at resisting rust. Make sure your welding with a suitable filler material.

Wonderful video.

Please inform how to best insulate and minimize condensation inside walls.

Spend a Little more money and get a pan & zoom camera. Now sit back and really enjoy your yard. Zoom in on birds check out what’s happening to the left, right, up down.

Plasma cutters aren't that expensive dude.

Companys that make shipping container homes?

Cutting torch makes a mess.this generates to much heat and deforms the the steel. A grinder is extremely dangerous. The steel expands and tends to bind on the cutting disc causing these discs to blow apart. I personal have been scared doing this. Pay an expert fabricator to cut these openings. This is NOT a DIY project for an unskilled person.

[@webosm6494]

Use a plasma cutter. Easy and fast. I got mine for about 200US$ which was for a combination machine as it also does TIG and stick welding.

[@webosm6494]

Mmm. It is not available anymore in the configuration I bought it. I bought it without all the accessories, just the plasma cutter as I already had a stick and tic welder. Mine is called a 'cut 60', the brandname is Jasic. Used it for more then a year now without problems.

[@gasaxe6056]

Tzadvantage Bkk You fail to mention that a high cfm compressor is required for plasma with dry air. I use a 400 liter high output cfm compressor with 3 air filters to remove moisture. This cost me more than the plasma cutter did. Plasma is the best & safest way to cut openings in a shipping container.

[@webosm6494]

I have got a Puma 80 liter 2HP compressor and a single moisture filter. Works fine. (Here in Thailand we have high humidity, often 80% and higher but it seems to keep up). The thing is when you are building stuff you got to have tools. You will also need a grinder ( I got a 4" Makita) to clean up the edges. A plasma cutter is just another tool to make live easier. For instance I bought a Makita cold saw as I got tired of using a grinder to cut steel tubing and cutting it with a plasma cutter is also not that efficient. A plasma cutter is great for flat stock or in this case container walls. When building the interior a miter saw and a table saw is very nice to have. And so the list of tools goes on and on. :) I not save on tools as I prefer to do it the most efficient and most important the safest way.

Tzadvantage Bkk I had a puma 80 liter for painting. It was a good compressor.

Windows are obsolete, huge waste of energy, weaken the structure and allow for easy break ins. Mount flat screen televisions where you want a window, mount a camera outside. You get outdoor views with less over all energy cost than freaking windows. The television and the camera are cheaper than making any window. The plus side is a small solar system can run the whole thing and all of your interior lighting.

[@webosm6494]

The view is static and will not change when you are moving inside. It will give a very weird sensation. For spaceships it will work pretty good, not so for a house. In my area a window costs about 50-100US$ a flatscreen tv the same size about 1500-2000US$.

You could also use your container as a giant pin hole camera...
