SEALING THE GAP in our SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME - Ep. 14

[@nativeazboy]

Thnx for taking the time to throughly document your build it’s an enormous help !!

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Happy to hear that! 🙂

[@wallacecruz702]

Showww showww showww magnífico trabalho

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you!

[@leroiobi5928]

Good example of that pioneer spirit to get a bush and tame it to produce such a jewel in the making. I am sure the labor is sweet at this point knowing the future is bright with that paradise of a scenery to wake up to and the beach a few steps away. Most importantly no mortgage. Sweet sweet labor.

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you!!! We are definitely looking forward to the end results but also enjoying the journey 🙂

[@ppentertainment2351]

Awesome job. Can’t wait to see how you turn the container doors into windows.

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you!! That will be a cool video for sure. Working on it little by little! 🙂

BON CHANTER 🏫🥂

[@jd4evapodcast86]

Your Welding skills are phenomenal! ❤️🥰 I watch Kaylee and Jordan from Nomadic movement, they have some Great welding skills but yours…. *chef kiss* 🤌🏽

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you so much!!! I'm still learning as we progress in our build. :)

[@alexdreher]

Found your channel yesterday, see all vids in a row, subscribe and today the new vid came out! Like your work, you did it very professionell and I can not wait for the next vids👍🏻👏🏻😀

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you!!! Plenty more to come and I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all!! 🙂

[@keithhogan6997]

@Alex - I just found them today and binged every episode. Now I am jonesing for the next one on the glass doors! This is quite the adventure and I'm loving it all 🧔🏼👍🏻👍🏻

[@nena4215]

Excellent work on the gaps, welds look outstanding, did you have any experience welding before you started this project? How is your project manager doing? Thanks so much for the episode, take care!

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you Nena! I started with zero building or construction experience overall, so everything I’ve learned along the way. Project manager demands treats to approve our work lol 😂😊

[@nena4215]

@@PacificPinesRanch I am truly amazed by your skills and courage to tackle this enormous project....you two have really stepped up to the plate and what a fabulous plate it is! Your design and plans to achieve it are pretty cool to watch! Thanks again

[@donpetrey8007]

First rule of any welding is get comfortable

[@PacificPinesRanch]

I tried so hard to make it better but ultimately it was the horizontal position and the weight of everything on my head that made it uncomfortable... not too much at first but after a few hours it I was feeling it. By the time we’re done with the house my neck will be as strong as Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80s lol

[@obfuscated3090]

One way to save money is using a 4x8 sheet sheared to desired roof and floor strip width. Many metal sellers have shears as do fab shops so no need to cut it oneself.

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Great idea!

[@ruthlessintentions3778]

A price breakdown so far on the build would be helpful

[@PacificPinesRanch]

I will work on that for the future! 🙂

[@ruthlessintentions3778]

@@PacificPinesRanch looking forward to that. Also question for you. How did you all know how to do stuff like put stuff where cut and weld support there. Or you guys have prior experience already for that or learning as you go?

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Ruthless Intentions We had our plans engineered, but we are also learning as we go and we do extensive research on whatever we’re currently working on. 🙂

[@RhinoDoesItAll1991]

So like I’ve seen where people frame up a wall and all that where the container doors are but I’ve never seen how people seal those doors to where you can never open them again.....how are you guys doing those doors?

[@PacificPinesRanch]

We converted all the container doors into functioning glass doors in our build. I’ll be doing an in depth video about the process in the near future. Or you can see photos of it on our Instagram page. 🙂

[@sersardar2960]

👍👍👍

[@Audiotorium87]

Are you going seal the gap in the middle to the external underside of the containers?

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Yes we will eventually insulate the bottom which will seal that opening. 🙂

[@jonathanescalada1584]

Question for Jessica, I’m just wondering why you decided to build with shipping containers instead of a traditional stick built home? From what I understand building with shipping containers cost more than a traditional stick built home.

[@PacificPinesRanch]

I will be doing a video on why we built a container home in the future that will answer this question more in depth. The short version: Container homes can be more expensive than stick built, but they can also be cheaper. It largely depends on the design, location, and how much of the work is contracted out. 🙂

[@jonathanescalada1584]

I’ve been heavily researching building with container homes for the last couple of years in California. I’ve come to a conclusion that their only advantage over traditional stick build is that they can be stacked up to 3 stories high (maybe even higher) quickly to create living space on small lots. Construction Labor, insulation, permitting, mechanical, electrical, plumbing seems more complicated and at a higher cost in my opinion.

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Jonathan Escalada They have a few more advantages than that such as being fireproof, but I will go through those points in the video I will make.

[@DouglasDuhaime]

These videos are awesome. Do you have a video where you discuss the planning and permitting process? I'm wondering what it was like working with structural engineers on the plans...

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you!! I’m actually working on a series called “the reality of building a container house”, and in the 2nd episode (which will be coming soon) I am going over permits and engineering. 🙂

[@DouglasDuhaime]

@@PacificPinesRanch Awesome! I hope you'll discuss architectural plans and the more design-oriented aspects in an episode as well 🙏I just learned the Containers of Hope project is selling their blueprints and architectural plans for $500. You two could probably do the same if you made a little kit...

[@keithhogan6997]

I imagine it will be revealed in a future video, but did you consider in floor heat? I've seen it under laminate, tile, and concrete. I had never personally experienced it until my 1st time visiting family here in Oregon. It was an amazing experience, especially considering it was late fall when you'd want to at least wear slippers on tile and raised wood floors.

[@PacificPinesRanch]

We were considering switching to radiant heating but since we already installed the doors flush with the flooring we wouldn't have the space for the concrete/pex piping. We are still planning on doing polished concrete floors but with self leveling concrete so it's only about 1/2" thick usually. :)

[@keithhogan6997]

@@PacificPinesRanch I totally overlooked the doorsills. 🤦‍♂️ I will be looking more carefully, and for the episode on flooring. Probably more than once. lol Keep up the great work!

[@Midwest-Container-Home]

Thanks for sharing your experience. This helps us a great deal for our build. Check out our Chanel to see what we are doing. We are not as advanced on our project but hopefully we will get there at some point.

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Glad to help! 🙂 Looks like you guys have a good start to a cool project. Nice job.

[@adampiasecki7490]

Great work, i made same think in my project. But one question, how you get so flat surface, after you cutted out walls? i grindet metal, but it doesn't looked so nice, and clean.

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you! We used the grinder with a grinding wheel to make the surface completely flat. Takes some time but it makes welding the containers together easier. 🙂

[@mariomoreira3856]

Did you have welding experience before this project, those are nice bead lines you put down

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you! We both started with very little construction experience and have been learning along the way 🙂

[@nicholashenton3913]

What welder are you using? Looking good.

[@PacificPinesRanch]

Thank you! Vulcan Omniprp 220 🙂

[@jonathanescalada1584]

In your opinion what is the best and fastest method to cut the side walls of the containers?

[@PacificPinesRanch]

I’d say it’s a tie between the angle grinder and a plasma cutter. I’ll be doing a video in the future of the pros and cons for tools to cut container paneling. 🙂

[@adampiasecki7490]

Plasma is much faster. but you need big air compresor.

[@jonathanescalada1584]

What size air compressor is optimum to cut the countainer?

[@martyreiber8945]

What did you do for the floor under the wall where the two trailer's join together 🤔

[@PacificPinesRanch]

You can see how we sealed the containers in other videos on our channel but underneath is spray foamed.
