Massive Modern Home Built With 6 SHIPPING CONTAINERS Part #1

[@Herowebcomics]

Wow! This house looks amazing! Shipping containers are awesome!

[@pattietschida5820]

I have driven by this location for years and always wondered what was being built. I am blown away that this was a container build, had no idea!! Shout out for completing a dream and may you have a thousand years of happiness. A positive thru this all, you are still together 🥰

[@SunfishBudget]

That is awesome, small world. Thanks for watching!! We were so excited to be in the county paper on Thursday showing our house too!

[@Jack_The_Ripper_Here]

The whole point of a container house is that it's cheap, fast to make, strong, durable, lasts a long time, very good in case of earth quakes, that thing isn't going anywhere, those things are built to withstand storms on ships. That's the point not to leave the walls exposed lol, some people .....My dream is to have one very similar to what you made. The feeling must be amazing. Looks amazing , it's nice and big

[@SunfishBudget]

Thanks so much Jack for your support and understanding , landscaping video out tomorrow, keep us in the loop if and when you start up a contain home build!!

[@dede1267]

I simply love your home, it's beautiful, I'm also looking into building a container home! May God continue to bless you, your family and this lovely home!!!

[@SunfishBudget]

Thanks so much, our next video is out tomorrow and it is all about landscaping, we had a busy summer, God bless you Dede as well and thanks again for watching!!!

Nice.😅 We had problems with our siding contractor, too. We can't wait to hear your experience. To bad there are people out there that don't care that we worked hard for our money.

[@SunfishBudget]

You know where our story is going then, hit the nail on the head for sure!

[@stargirlofantares9053]

I love it! It’s awesome! I just found you. I’ll have to maybe go back & watch the build, but I absolutely love this look!! Can’t wait to see the inside!! 🖤

[@SunfishBudget]

Please do! Our videos have come a long way, but we have put a lot of time and energy into documenting our work!! Been 2 years and 7 months so far and it started way before we started building the foundation. Saving up cash and finding the right land etc. We bought our families 100 year old farm house and did an estate sale, selling everything including sinks, old doors, appliances and cabinets. It was stripped down well before we started the demo process. It would have required a ton of work on that house already and we bought it to take it down from the start and would have let someone move the house off the property at their expense but no takers! We lived in it for 3 years before we were able to move forward. There is some of our background story for you. Thanks for watching!

[@leveragelifestyle8581]

Looks really damn good. What would you say the savings are by using containers? I'm def looking into land and a container home, just wondering what the experience is from a time to build and expense comparison over regular materials.

[@The_Truth2023]

Wow wow

[@SunfishBudget]

thankyou!

[@kevindeltano2599]

The exterior came out great. As for the standard question many have probably had... why did you make a container home if the entire exterior has zero container showing and about 30% of the interior covered up?? No hate just curious. Also.. Total cost so far?

[@SunfishBudget]

The middle of the our home a 27 ft spread is just traditional framing and the 6 shipping container are all exposed on the interior. Also the kitchen and downstairs living room have no containers either, we have beams holding up the 2 containers on the second level. The only rooms that were we "covered" walls is the bathrooms because of moisture and the bedrooms all have at least one wall container and the other side a finished wall due to noise control and warmth. Otherwise all the containers are exposed, much more then 30% exposer. The point is for a strong and long lasting home that is very efficient for heating and cooling. thanks for asking! Next video out tomorrow on landscaping, we have had a busy summer, thanks for watching!!!

All support or the cantilever in incorporated in the walls. it extends out of the house 16 ft. we are going to use it as a covered patio area for outdoor sofas. we think its a really cool feature of the house!!! Thanks for watching !!!

[@PowerMaxRemodelingDIY101]

No one capable of critical thinking can express any negative feelings to this project, what a beauty, I love the style, totally. I have been looking into container homes for about 2 days, and I think I am going to have a very similar design,. I was also thinking about using 6 containers, I want some space, and I would love some guidance as far as price. I want to email you.

[@SunfishBudget]

wow! thanks a million! we will do a price breakdown at some point. where are you watching from?

[@sophrozen]

What is the benefit of using the containers instead of just framing out the whole thing?

[@SunfishBudget]

very strong and long lasting structure and very efficient for heating and cooling

[@SMOKE3104]

So I wanted to know if you can give out the building plans/arch/blueprint for this house?

The engineer we worked that brought our design to life did not want his blueprints shared, sorry!!

No, we do not have a basement. We have a concrete slab for our lower level that is heated

[@purplerain55]

Will the garage come later???

[@SunfishBudget]

we already have a garage, its just not connected to the house. possibly adding a car-port in the future. WHERE ARE YOU WATCHING FROM?

[@christopherajayi6141]

Wow what was the budget on This project

[@cindyserfass736]

I’m new to this page so I haven’t seen any answers to th questions, why build a container home if none of the container is visible on the exterior? And why is the build taking over a year? I thought part of the appeal of a shipping container house was that speed of the build because they are basically already assembled and are just placed. I do like that you framed the space between the containers with steel. But why not just build a steel frame house and leave the containers out?

[@SunfishBudget]

to answer the questions...we wanted them visible from the interior. it is a 4200 sq ft custom home. we didnt want a steel framed house. thanks for watching

[@linzierogers5024]

About what is the cost per square foot for such a house as compared to the same square footage price for a brick and mortar house?

[@SunfishBudget]

not sure haven’t kept a good track, and this is the first house we have built. thanks for watching !

[@donnabrunner3125]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@SunfishBudget]

thanks Donna !!!

[@briandeluca6908]

if your exposing the metal, then how are you insulating it

[@SunfishBudget]

We have the metal exposed on the inside ( not the outside as you normally will see with container homes) of the home and had spray foamed applied on the outside and then did siding on the outside. due to our cold weather climate it helps with thermal bridging, thanks for asking. Since we did 6 containers in isn’t necessarily less experienced but a very strong and long lasting home. Next video is out tomorrow, all on landscaping, we have had a busy summer, thanks for watching!!

[@markrobinson271]

What is the total Sqft?

[@SunfishBudget]

[@norrisabram9577]

Stop it,you're talking to much 😮

[@SunfishBudget]

then don’t watch, 🤪

[@heathbecker420]

I'm on board with the no reason for containers crowd. Even if you keep some of them visible after construction is complete, that is not a reason for containers as that just leaving them exposed for aesthetics (which is the opposite of why most people use containers, as they use them DESPITE their looks not because of them... The use of containers is supposed to speed construction, and reduce the cost overall as well as reduce the need for wood in the overall structure while still maintaining a very strong and supportive structure. This building does not seem to benefit much if at all from the use of containers in its construction in terms speed, cost, or using less wood. Calling this a shipping container home is just not in the spirit of what a shipping container home means to me and likely to the majority of people interested in the topic of container homes.
