Gotta love shipping containers. So versatile!!!

[@jackieskitchen1966]

Great beginnings!

[@michaelhouy1382]

What was the diameter of the sonotubes? Looked like 12" and how many sonotubes for a 40' container?

[@sundancer442]

Keep up the good work and vids ! Just subbed to y'all from the Australian desert. :)

[@TerraFirmaX]

Sundancer thank you

[@ourselfreliantlife]

Looking good you two! Did all that snow slow you down?

[@TerraFirmaX]

Green Dream Project yes it did, now we are scrambling to get the containers unloaded into the garage in a box.

[@brianpacheco1927]

Do you guys need to set rebar inside the tubes?

[@TerraFirmaX]

We did put rebar in the tubes.

[@shanegoggin7537]

Thank you so much for sharing this. So informative. Can you please let me know what you call the circular object? The one you put the cement into? Thank you

[@TerraFirmaX]

It’s called a sona tube. It’s just a cardboard form

[@javie3828]

How deep did y’all go on the hole

[@TerraFirmaX]

3 feet if I remember correctly. And then we poured a concrete pad around them, so they are locked in

[@MidlifePrices]

Oh I forgot to ask, do you rent the cement mixer or is it yours?

[@TerraFirmaX]

It's mine.

[@jillshomesteadexperience6706]

I love your happy face. hehe hahaha

[@franciscomiramontes1671]

How did you find the height of your piers?

[@TerraFirmaX]

What do you mean?

[@franciscomiramontes1671]

@@TerraFirmaX It seemed like you were measuring the height of the piers at the 7:11 mark in the video. Are you using a laser level? If so how was that set up?

[@TerraFirmaX]

@@franciscomiramontes1671 sorry, you asked this a long time ago. Yes, we used a laser level. as far as how it was set up, you find the height you want and then measure all the rest off of that

[@N4sir98]

Good video with simple instructions! What laser level did you use, and do you recommend it? I'm about to do the very same thing with 20 foot shipping containers.

[@MidlifePrices]

Nice work y’all! 😊 Crack attack!!! (Sweeeeeeet thumbnail!😂)
