We FINALLY finished our CANOPY!!

We FINALLY have a canopy on the top of the entry door of our shipping container house!!! It took us a lot more time that we planned to be done, but in the end it looks exactly like we planned!! Of course nothing is perfect as it was the first time we worked with plyglass in our lives, but it’s perfect for its purpose: don’t have any rain on the entry door anymore. As usual: we are in love with it!!

We hope you guys liked the episode. So what is your opinion? Was it worth to build it on plyglass? We are curious to read your thoughts. Esperamos que tenham gostado do episódio. E ai qual a sua opinião? Valeu a pena utilizar esse método construtivo? Muito caro? Muito trabalhoso? Estamos curiosos para saber a sua opinião.

[@timplatts1199]

Ladder risk! I am not an expert but I think you have your ladders are too low an angle. For safe use I think they need to be quite a bit steeper. I don't want any accidents nor bad examples. Stay safe. Glad to see you use masks and eye protection. Watch your ear protection.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

👌🏼👌🏼 when ever the angle is low we try to step as carefully as possible. 👌🏼

[@shaddec55]

I love you guys, and I love what you're doing with the boat! (Later videos) But I gotta say: that canopy is way over-engineered, and it doesn't cover the right side of the door! (Should have moved it over a foot to the right). Anyway, the house is looking awesome, and I love your color scheme. Good taste! Also, love your internal framing-- brilliantly thought-out and done! Rock on!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

The idea was to practice the boat building method, that’s we we have this canopy like this. We didn’t want to move it to the top of the window

[@brucelarson5434]

You are the only Brazilians have been in close contact with and I have a cultural question for you. Is there a cultural and social difference in between costal and inland Brazilians? That is things like carnival, beach life and all. My step father was half Portuguese and American Indian, to me a great man. I am impressed with all the care you take with your construction. It is more like a piece of art work.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks a lot Bruce!! For sure there are so many cultural differences in Brazil as it’s a pretty big country. Not just in between coast and country part. But also in between south and north. Actually there are so much cultural differences in between all the states. But at the same time we are really similar, we all celebrate carnival but we also have our own local way of living and accent. Hehehe it’s a huge and happy mix!!👌🏼😍😍

[@mrdot1126]

in a place like that.. white would be better, cuz that reflects the sun light, this dark paint will only help the metal to absorb more light, thus more heat... it looks nice, so that is not the issue.. :)

[@OddLifeCrafting]

👌🏼👌🏼 the dark will only be the south side. That means the side without sun. 👌🏼😊

[@housedadtrains]

love your vids but your ladder angles are dangerous..i wouldnt like to see anyone get hurt maybee cut a ladder to size for the container.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😨😨

Thanks for all this advice because it will be information I will need to reply again later. PS: Yes, get Fao to sign that waiver lol I really want to see you finish your container home haha

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We are really glad to somehow help Indigo. And thanks so much for the support and feedback always!! It means a lot to us!!😍👌🏼

[@thomasstaples4385]

Love watching your show. Your details to the project and your willing to try new techniques is really enjoyable. Have you watched other container builds and exchange ideas.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks so much for the support Thomas!! We do exchange ideas with other builders in Brazil through WhatsApp. But in the end we always end up learning by try and error hehehehe the cost of doing things for the first time. But to be honest we love this process. 😍😊💪🏼🏡

[@rosalynsookoo362]

I did truly enjoyed this journey of building your home

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Hello! More MONEY. Did you know that you can have a spetial link for amazon of diferening products. And amazon will pay you for click (I guess) and (for sure) for visitors purchase that get to the product because your link . I hope this information helps you

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We had it for q while but you need at least 3 person to buy on the first six months or you loose the partnership. We just lost last week. 😏

[@OddLifeCrafting]

But thanks a lot!!

[@RubikAdams]

Ou! I see. Thanks 4 U answer! :)

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😊👌🏼

[@XaviSaenzO]

Hi. I want to congratulate you and tell you that your project is great and as I had to move to another country and start from scratch, I have proposed to do a project similar to yours. On the other hand, I would like to suggest for the benefit of whoever it is that we are going to do a similar project, that in the description of the video they put the detail of the amount of material and the tools they use, something like when you are going to make a cake and you put the ingredients and utensils.

[@billberry557]

Liked the puppet show at the end.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😂😂

[@nenzianwari]

Congratulations Duca & Roberta oh and thanks to Fao. Well done! Another tick in the box. Onwards & upwards as they say. Bring on the next project.....

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Hehehe thanks a lot for the suggestion my friend!!😍😊👌🏼💪🏼🏡

[@DMills-un1tl]

Introducing others to your channel, so they can check out a shipping container home build from scratch, I can't help saying "these kids are just SO adorable". Lol So, btw, did you use the porcelain infused paint? I can't remember if you said you were going to use that to up the R-Value.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks so much for the support Donna!! 😍😍 we ended up not using. We believe in out caso it won’t be necessary. 😊😊

[@jamiestuart6613]

I love the canopy!!👍 Wow!! Only $200. Great job the both of you! Can't wait to see more.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😍😍

[@JonathasJunior]

Canopy looks great

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😍😍

[@taylorcoutts9681]

Just found your channel. Wow!!! Can’t wait to watch more. 🇨🇦

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😊😊 we are glad you like it!! 😊😊

[@inferno]

so you build a wall of that green hanging plant or something to make a green wall to cool that place down during summer,you can add some mist nozzles to that to give them some water at night or something, i find my shipping container in france and will cost me around 6000$ to get it here 4000+ 2000 shipping and thats sucks but i think in the long run will worth it because now i live in a big city and i will be able to move it by train back home where i got my piece of forest ,i still wait to check the stock in the next spring maybe somehow i can find one here.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Nice!! Congrats!!😊👌🏼

Sugerencia para el canopy, usar templetes de graduacion. Felicitaciones...de nuevo

[@OddLifeCrafting]

👌🏼

[@thomascrouch6135]

I think you have done a wonderful job in designing and building the canopy, it Looks Great. tom

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks so much for the support Tom!🏡😊

[@c.m.oliveira5968]

Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho!👏👏👏👏👏

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Valeu Celso!!😊😊

[@mohammednayel8396]

I think you need to fill the gap between the canopy and the wall with silicon and add a drain hose to let water go smoothly to the ground without splashing around. Good luck guys.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We are monitoring both things. If necessary we will do it if not it will stay like this. 👌🏼😊

[@NWforager]

this canopy is WAy over engineered

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Have to agree with this. Also, why not just have a flat surface on top instead of catching water with the raised edge? The cables holding the canopy would be better off at a bigger angle. Maybe attach to the roof instead?

[@OddLifeCrafting]

What we think is that if we have a flat surface we will end up with a waterfall right where we get in the house. With the raised edges we don’t have that anymore and we won’t need to go through the waterfall. The cables could go up to the wooden deck bit in our opinion wouldn’t look as good. As it is it’s holding really well on place. But as we always say. For sure it’s not the best solution. There are tones of different solutions for the same challenge. That’s just the one we decided to go with. 👌🏼😊

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

There will be rain around the edge of the canopy anyway so you will get wet whatever option you choose. I agree the cables look best as you've done them but to me they don't look like they are giving much support. I think the support you have is from how you attached the actual canopy to the wall of the container which may or may not be enough. How did you attach to the wall? Thanks for the reply I know you guys are busy.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Trust me the cables are holding. I do agree the angles of the cable could be better but some times we need to work with what we have. That’s stainless steel cable. And we know that is holding as we locked the cables before the wall screws. Of course the wall supports are also helping to distribute the forces and the weight but without the cables the canopy wouldn’t stay on place. It would bend the wall support that is welded on the SC or break the plywood. About the waterfall one thing is to have a few drips of water. A completely different thing is to have water from 2 square meters falling. As it is the majority of the water goes to the drain and we get a few almost none drops. To be honest we are 100% satisfied with the water situation. 😊👌🏼

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Hey, don't stand under the drain lol

[@ladislavladislav]

Hi guys, I wrote you an email with some questions. .) love your channel!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks a lot!! We will get back to you as soon as we have time to put some thought on it. Sunday is the he final fay to finish Monday’s episode 😅😅

[@raynoladominguez4730]

I love the gray. And I like the canopy, brown to match the roof?

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Yep it matches the roof 😍😍

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks a lot!!😊😊

[@jacgrobbelaar2425]

I'm first!! :D :D hellooo friends!! So happy to watch now!

[@robvanza]

The canopy and the wall is looking great! Well done! Happy to see you guys again! Lol!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😍👌🏼💪🏼🏡

[@alaorestrada]

Acho que deveria colocar cabos na parte inferior também. Um rajada de vento pode fazer o Canopy levantar e trincar a Madeira no local dos parafusos.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

A gente colocou na parte inferior também. 👌🏼👌🏼

[@marianbugeanu7415]

Wasn't easier for you to use a piece of sheet metal that you cut it from the joints of containers???

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Maybe. But we are motivated by one thousand other factor. Not just if it’s easy. Hehehehe the house is like a “lab” for us. So we use every opportunity to try new methods 👌🏼😍🏡

[@malcolmconnor6602]

Nice video, I always enjoy them.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😊😊Thanks a lot!!

[@chameenlogitha]

curious to know if it's safe inside during lightening? did you guys consider that?

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We still didn’t install a ground system but we will before we move in!! 👌🏼👌🏼😊😊

[@chameenlogitha]

I have heard about something called Faraday cage that says a metal box is the safest place to stay during lightening. I'm not very clear about the concept, but I guess that the shipping container will become a Faraday cage and I'm not sure if it needs to be grounded or not to become a Faraday cage. :-)

[@OddLifeCrafting]

I agree but at the same time helping to have an easier way to the ground won’t do any harm. 👌🏼😊

[@adventuresofjake2553]

Just about caught up with the videos. Only took 3 days what a awesome journey and good job.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

😍😍 thanks so much!! We are glad you enjoyed 😍😍

[@adventuresofjake2553]

Are you guys going to use a renewable source of energy to power the house . Sorry if it's been answered already

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We are not sure yet. 😊

[@adventuresofjake2553]

Would be a shame if you didn't. Especially going to all that effort to be as eco friendly as you are. Solar power kits are not that expensive anymore, well in the UK anyway not sure about south America.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Here we talked to a company to estimate how much would cost for us to have the house 100% solar and it would be something in between 3 and 4 thousands US $. In our opinion just by having such a small house and consuming a fraction if compared to a “regular” much bigger house we are already “more sustainable”. Of corse that just our rumble opinion. 😊😊

[@sharoncampana8516]

I love listening to you guys. Feels like family. Lol

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Hehehehe that’s nice!!😍😍

[@leomarchi6212]

Esta ficando lindo, e esse lugar então. Parabéns.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Valeu Leo!!😊😊😊😍

[@craigsymington5401]

Cool. Nice finish. I thought it may be a bit expensive, where I'm from it's mind blowing Add your labour and buy a bike!? I'll use a piece of window cutout with an angle iron frame. Simple, quick and cheap. Also, it breaks my heart to see the beautiful pattern on the ply disappear :( Superb production as ever. Stay Real!

[@OddLifeCrafting]

We hear you. Hehwhw we would love to live the plywood patterns. And that was the plan but being the first time we built something like this it was tough to get it done pretty enough not to paint (to fix small mistakes)😬😬 but for sure we loved the experiment 👌🏼😍

[@craigsymington5401]

No worries, you are young, you learn. We call it "school money", you learn :D Older guys like me still learn. Your spray is improving nicely, one day a pro! BTW our visa application for NZ is in ;)

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Nice!!! Congrats my friend!! Happy for you guys!!😍

[@gaberodrorz6983]

já pensaram em colocar trava rosca nos parafusos que seguram os cabos de aço?

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Pensamos sim. Estou monitora do e qualquer coisa vamos botar. 👌🏼👌🏼😊

[@kennethe4809]

Awesome!! As always, good job. Now back to the interior....:-).

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Thanks a lot. We have one more project to finish this week on the outside and them back to the interior 😍👌🏼

[@garryhall1558]

Duca Roberta good work and interesting as usual me thinks you guys are going to miss this project when finished,love that view

[@OddLifeCrafting]

Hehehe we will miss it for sure. But we will definitely find another "crazy" project to work on!! Hehehehe😍

[@garryhall1558]

I am sure you will, you have become like friends I can jump in my car and visit to share ideas and maybe lend a hand from time to time,take care now

Dear it is very good but I think it is better not to work with cables because the first time it storms your roof will blow up and break off . greetings

[@OddLifeCrafting]

It's actually the same cables that we use in sailboats. It's there for more than a year and it's still steady. hehe.

[@johnwoodywood7165]

[@SenatorPerry]

In all honesty, when doing DIY construction projects here in the US it takes significantly longer to try to find a way to do the work alone to avoid a neighbor or someone else "helping". People are friendly, but the risk of injury or a several thousand dollar hospital bill is too high. Thanks for sharing the video. Canopy looks great.

[@OddLifeCrafting]

👌🏼 here actually the public health system is really good in case of any injury. And most of the people that usually helps are our life long friends. And sometimes subscribers. 😍😊
