Julian, my name is Priscilla Dea' Scott and I'm from the US. I've dreamed of building my "Dream" container home for over six years now so I've researched more video's than I can count. Your video is easy for me to understand, I'm dyslexic, so for me everything is the complete opposite. I will be looking forward to each and every one of your videos in the future. Thank you again.

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else needs to find out about cargo container home designs try Container Recovery Tactics (container.RecoveryTactics.com ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my co-worker got amazing results with it.

Seen on Craigslist 40 ft hi cube picked up at Baltimore port $1800. A trucker friend would pick it up for reasonable $ neighbor with a backhoe & some 3 inch pipe under it we pulled it off the trailer & pushed it with backhoe into place. $2,000 total & a case of beer & a few grilled steaks, my new work shop

[@juliangoulding]

Haha the old beer currency is pretty universal. Not what you know its who you know!

[@ALSomthin]

Beware of a sales from Container One they sold me a container with both side walls puffed out 6 inches. They claimed this was just a cosmetic issue.

[@mrjerry28714]

Definitely informative, Julian. Thanks for posting!

[@ContainerAcre]

I wish our delivery company had that side loader! Just for price comparison, we spent $2,100 USD each for our B grade 40ft high cube containers , plus $400 each for delivery of about 100 miles. We did grind off loose paint / rust before we painted and put the elastomeric coating on the roof.

[@ronalynausan791]

$2100 is approximately $3000nz.. delivery $400 in NZ dollar approx $620

[@morabasalogisticsinc9016]

Hi. I know this video from 3 years ago i just searching. Which part of US u paid that price? I quoted for $3000 + delivery 100 miles $450. Maybe price much higher now with the Pandemic?!

I bought a 1998 40 footer 2300 (20 was 2100 here)..Northern IL....I read that they are good for 2 or 3 decades so mine has very few dents, etc. Hopefully it will last longer than 10 more years! Thanks for your video.

[@fatdadskinnydad3856]

Skid Loader Beginner JCB 260, Bees, Farm, Pets how has it aged? Is it in the same condition as you bought it or is it rusting out?

Looking for one to do a homeschool/craft/office in it.

Not sure where you are Julian but west coast U.S. Container Lifters out of Clackamas OR specializes in moving containers. Thanks for the videos!

[@toribialara1300]

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover container home designs plans try Jadonite Shipping Container Buddy ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my neighbor got excellent success with it.

[@davidr4332]

Am looking at a A Grade 9.6 high x 40ft contained now at $4.900 to build my garage in Australia with free delivery as it only 3 kilometres away thank god for that . But i need to hire a crane to get it off and in processing which is okay as he only just up the road from me at a $180 a hour thank god for that too.

[@dejayrezme8617]

Thanks for the video!

[@ronfischermusic3367]

Hi from Canada. You mentioned the smell in one of your videos. From chemicals? How are you dealing any air quality toxins etc?

[@lindanelson8969]

You are the first to actually give an idea of how much it costs to buy and ship. Thank you so much !!

Excellent review and information thanks !

[@Vel-dino]

Hey great video! Question.. do you know if your container floor is treated with pesticides? And if yes what are your plans for it?

[@patriot9455]

We live close to a rail yard, would you have had it shipped on rail and arranged local transport from the rail yard, or would that have saved any money.

[@debbiegoulding6191]

Woohoo!

[@peterbeyer5755]

You can knock the dents out with a piece of wood and a hammer

[@noracan]

There is no cell reception inside a container. also, I have never been able to get confirmation on how to prevent lightening strikes.

[@62Cristoforo]

You can never prevent lightening strikes, unless you can control the weather. Otherwise, do what they do on skyscrapers and office towers to reduce damage from lightening; install lightening rods to ground

[@noracan]

@@62Cristoforo I cannot install the lightening rods in the rocky ground. that is my problem. No one has an answer. If the container is a faraday cage, the lightening will go into the ground and I will be safe inside. that is the theory but I have no proof.

[@tiborbuzsik6678]

Túl sok a beszéd, kevés a bemutató!

[@SMASHERJP]

Question for anyone, ...what do you do to prepare the ground for the containers to prevent sinking and allowing it to stay level?

[@SuperTigerTV]

Some say 3/4 inch gravel is the way to go but ground must be fairly level.

[@oldaxehead655]

Three or four inches of gravel rock is one of the best long term solutions. It allows water runoff underneath and is extremely durable. You would want to dig a two or three inch base for the gravel, and use a plate compactor to tamp it down nice and level so it doesn't move over time. To check level you can run a string line from corner to corner with a line level, but placing the shipping container on the gravel is the hard part depending on how you plan to do it.

Julian Goulding what site did you buy yours at

[@williansmithonson6613]

I have spent months researching into building container homes and found a fantastic resource at Rohon Home Build (check it out on google)

[@skorpijabg1789]

There are several factors in doing a pro job. One place I discovered which successfully combines these is the Rohon Home Build (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the most useful info that I've seen. Check out this unbelievable website.
