If i love something about your videos, is that you don't do videos in multiple parts, everything you have for that project you put in one video!

Thanks for waiting until it was finished to upload. makes the video so much more interesting.

[@marc7491]

It looked like the container was placed over a small gully. I would have liked to have seen a shot of the insulation on the underside after dragging it over a thousand feet. Hard to believe only a couple of pieces fell off? Also, like many other viewers, I am mesmerized by Andrew's skill and imagination! And if all else fails, he can always have a career as a videographer! Really impressive camera work and editing! lol

[@truckertom3323]

True grit, and American spirit, that man with the walking stick, who got stuck in helping to push the container over, just hung up the stick and got stuck in, hats off to that man. All the best from the UK.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I used to cut trees then dig the roots out till Andrew taught me it's easier to push the trees over the cut the roots. I've taught this practice to others. Thanks Andrew

[@titus142]

I really enjoyed the finished product with the owner. That home is way better than I expected. Thanks!

[@freddyrosenberg9288]

First we are going to spray foam the bottom and then we are going to take it off by dragging the container over rock.

[@PowerlineRider]

lol i realized that too

[@AndrewCamarata]

A few little pieces came off, but it held up fine.

[@stanpatterson5033]

I figured they had a sled of some kind to help it skid or maybe wheel along behind the dozer. I guess not. But if there's a company that does this, these container homes, they should consider fab'ing a couple of pieces that the "front" and "back" could sort of ride on, if for nothing more than to ease or reduce dragging friction, and help protect the underside against damage.

[@horstszibulski19]

Wasn´t there a pair of half-trailers, that should go under the container for moving? Rubbed off insulation came instantly to my mind,too... And I expected some locally poured foundations, they made some lifts out of collected stones, from what you can see in the end... But it held up a whole year by now, then it will work! :-D

[@vladhristov2316]

Yes, that dragging was primitive sh***t for shizzle. Andrew is a super-smart man, but sometimes contrary to his abilities and skills his action are the dumbest you will ever see.

[@frontierhubby4014]

When I moved my container I chained the blade to the container and lifted it up a foot then pulled it into position. The container just slid nicely over the ground.

[@EdwardTilley]

Was the ground as uneven as this wooded setting? It seems the blade would be impossible to rely on as it rollercoasters its way across the forest. Sounds like a better approach though I get the impression that Andrew has done a bunch of these and realizes this works fine - all things considered.

If you had to move those things often, I would imagine rigging up some kind of wheels to go on each end might prove fairly useful. When I installed sheds built offsite, we rolled everything around on pipes and with digging bars; it worked fairly well, but I took the end of my ring finger off when I was pulling a pipe out from under a set building and jammed it between the pipe and the tree right behind me I didn't think about.

Yeah. Investing in a dolly of some kind or a skid system would have helped preserve the bottom. Better, would be to get it nearer the site, tilt it and spray there.

@@robj2704 - The foam truck runs a pump and has to be close by, I'm guessing they didn't want to risk getting it stuck or something. Or maybe it was too awkward to tip over on site.
