Hey Rich. You may want to double check that the vents on the inside of the sea can are not taped over. I use to pick up and deliver them and for the most part they were covered for some reason. And they wouldn’t allow the can to vent and it would rain condensation and allow mold growth on what ever is stored inside them.

[@metalmetz]

It's funny how I can spend an hour watching you clean up and think, "Man, that's a great idea" and then not spend one minute organizing and cleaning up my piles of crap.

[@nich9020]

Why not?

[@KennysClackyGarage]

I am totally with you on this one🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Andrewlang90]

It’s far more satisfying watching someone else organize their crap then it is your own, can confirm

[@Z-Ack]

Better than spending an hour watching some dude you dont and wont ever know personally clean up his own property then think to yourself “damn that was tiring, now i need something to drink and a nap..”.

[@TheBibliofilus]

Nice of Rich for taking one for the team, or perhaps his wife finally put her foot down and had enough of the mess..

[@Loretta_Goff]

My son owns Elite Container Terminals. Thank you for promoting his company.. :)

[@codycopeland7527]

"room for more non-crap.....which will probably end up bein crap" I feel attacked. 🤣

[@bartarkis]

I also conflated his words with actual violence.

[@minnesotatomcat]

A skid loader or small tractor is so necessary for anyone who lives in the country. I bought a skid almost 15 years ago and I could not live without it anymore. I don’t put piles of hours on it by any means but when you need it you need it. I use it for cutting wood and moving snow and dirt and everything in between 👍

[@StormbringerMM]

More space means more stuff - that’s the law for people like us!

[@FPVForLife]

A friend of mine once said "You need to have space, but you are not allowed to use it." That's so true😂😂😂

[@catalin-viorelbriceag1097]

22:05 - You're dead tired but still smiling for the camera. You truly enjoy what you're doing. Keep up the good work, Rich!

[@minnesotatomcat]

It’s crazy how fast a guy runs out of room. 6 years ago I bought a little 7 acre hobby farm and it’s got 40’x75’ machine shed that I originally thought about renting out because I thought I’ll never fill it up. Here we are 6 years later and yep it’s full of all my stuff now 🤣

[@donaldendsley6199]

that's because you named it a shed, shop, or garage. If you build a building with no windows or doors, and name it any of those things then within 5 years it will explode because of all the stuff that accumulates in it.

[@ryanc8188]

I went through my whole shop a month or 2 ago after being in it for 10 years. Threw a whole bunch of stuff away and reorganized and utilized everything for how I work now. Wish I would have done it years ago!!

[@jamesleuthen3028]

Oh yea perfect way to start my morning

[@bearsstuff]

Not sure what it's like in Canada, and maybe I missed it if you did cover it, but here in the Midwest, these containers sweat, producing condensation in the containers causing the contents to rust. You'll want to vent them somehow or a lot of desiccant.

[@stans5270]

I agree with you about the "sweating" problem. The sweating is mainly from ground moisture seeping up. This will be exasperated because his shop shades these containers compounding the problem.

[@landego1]

Same problem here, definitively needs to have some form of ventilation and/or heating. I solved the problem by routing overboard air from house ventilation into the container, keeping it dry and adding a little bit of warmth

[@connerlabs]

I have a workshop in one. I believe the problem is when the container is opened on a warm, wet day in winter, humid air gets trapped inside, and then at night the ceiling gets cold and the moisture condenses on it. Insulating the ceiling helped.

[@williamriedel1686]

Company called Con-Vents has easy to install vents. I put two in my 40’ container. Need to use four. There’s a lot of information online about problems with condensation in containers.

[@bearsstuff]

@@williamriedel1686 Will check them out. Thanks!

[@michaelgilchrist851]

Im really impressed with your solution to unload the larger shipping container with the chains attached to the smaller one! The yard is looking good.

[@darthgator639]

It is good to clean up once in a while. I had some family members that unfortunately passed away this year. They were not hoarders, but had quite some stuff. Took us a long while to sort what to keep and what to throw away. When it comes down to it you don't need a lot.

[@chrishastings2665]

I did the same thing with my sled shop this fall. Put in a big gravel pad behind the shop. And organized anything usefull and scrapped everything else. So nice coming out to work to organization.

[@mattharrell4]

You better still be doing this in five years! I hate to think of not seeing your amazing projects being shared with us, but more than that I watch this channel because YOU! You’re an awesome down to earth guy despite the amazing amount of knowledge and wisdom you’ve got. I’d watch this channel if all you did was rebuild push lawnmowers!

[@geoffrey6000]

Doing stuff like this helps so much mentally. Good thing to to every few years, happy you're doing it now!

[@TheDrew2022]

@23:16 Love to see one of those old cabovers still running, and in pristine shape. That was the truck I remember from youth seeing on the highways all the time and didn't hurt the Transformer's TV series featured Optimus Prime as one.

[@izza6998]

Great, now I want a shipping container. I don't have anywhere to put one, but I still want it.

[@skwyrz1]

I am a retired chainsaw mechanic of 45 years. I know many landscapers. Tree guy's, loggers, etc etc, And every one that has tried to plop a container thinking it is dry inside has no idea how much they sweat inside and everything turns to a rust ball. Yes I live in the NW and moisture is a big issue.

[@cwalker7]

Yehhhh, Hes gonna want to get those spray foamed pretty quickly

[@inothome]

Yup!!!! They definitely need airflow to keep the moisture down.

[@UncleManuel]

OMG, those chickens like to live dangerously! 😂😂😁😁😜😜

[@Stuart_Johnson_Solutions]

Just make sure you put aircon or dehumidification into the containers that store vehicles.

[@mwaofvt]

Miss Steffon but love seeing Andy...we need more Andy!!! Be Safe Love the Vids....Carry on!

[@davidsawyer1599]

Glad you are making an effort and setting an example.

[@markrose2475]

Rich, We Have been storing cars here in southern Ontario for decades. The best advise I can give you is to place lots of Dryer sheets around in your vehicles, and also go to your local dollar store and get some moisture grabber containers. We have found this to work the best for both rodents and rust..

[@Cars.or.Cardioversion]

Love videos like this one; a few years ago when you upgraded your shop it inspired me to finally clean out my own garage. One thing I love about Deboss Garage and DGHD as channels is that they feel less like KZbin and more of just hanging out in the shop.

[@minnesotatomcat]

Wherever there’s holes that mice could get in on something like that try stuffing the holes full of dryer sheets. I know it sounds crazy and I thought the same when I heard it too but it works, they seem to hate dryer sheets for some reason and leave it alone. That’s what we do with our ice fishing houses in the summer when they’re stored in my mouse infested machine shed and there is rarely ever any sign of mice getting in 👍

[@larrydavidson3402]

Great idea with those shipping containers, once the rafters are on and the roof is installed. Goning to give you more storage.

[@dwainecana]

Loader Cranes will be a good investment going forward...especially when dealing with box containers.

[@xozindustries7451]

Looks good guys

[@SamCyanide]

24:15 truck looks great with the red containers behind it

[@nathanvictorson3353]

Purging, good stuff. Currently in the process of getting three vehicles up for sale, and completely gutting & remodeling my shop.

[@coltonkruse2313]

Man i wish i had a friend like Andy.

[@adrianspeeder]

These videos are my favorite. "The great circle of scrap!"

[@KD0LRG]

Glad I'm not the only one🍺🍺

[@rangerismine]

I have a container for my atvs, mowers, tools etc. I drilled out the handle latches to accept padlocks, and it is way more secure than a shed or barn.

[@RoBert-ix6ev]

Two things: 1. Awesome project! It feels so good to tidy up a bit, and this container-based solution is superb! 2. Just watched the episode in which the Edison truck was featured. Found it interesting,and it is indeed a cool thing,modern,innovative,et etc, I'm not a particular diesel fan, but man... @ 24:10 or 34:55 ... That IS A TRUCK.

[@stevehaken]

Purge is a good thing! Time marches on.. Filling the bus is priceless ;-)

[@oldodger]

I love sea cans....I have 2. Perfect place to keep a car over the winter. Rain ,snow and rodent proof. I know it's Eastern Ontario weather proof while I play the part of a Winter TEXAN !

[@cdslaughter1974]

You rock! Wish I could come see you in Arlington Tx! Hope you come to central Florida some time soon!

[@mikeys1459]

shut the doors on that KW ! If it is running and the doors are open it wrecks the door hinges .

[@aserta]

If you have space, a good way to use these containers (if you have 4) is to take two, make a footing for them such that they sit spaced so that the top outer corners are spaced by the length of a container, drop two containers on that, then put two more such that they bridge over. You then buy a tent for the gap and have a huge inner space to store stuff and 4 containers which can be connected by ladders internally. You can also cover the whole thing with siding and a conventional roof. It will never fall apart. Containers are meant to take on loads that are Nth time larger than whatever you could stuff inside and a building like that. edit would like to point out that with this storage method, you can also add walkways around inside and out and have space to work on tall machinery like excavators.

[@Smokeroux]

Great Plans👍🏼🏁🏁🏁

[@ohnoitisnt]

Clearup days are the best. Especially when you get to play with the machines...

[@johnwilliams4545]

In Aus you are only allowed transport containers with trailers fitted with twistlocks. Much easier and safer than strapping or chaining. With your skill set you could fit them to your low boy in no time.

[@dwightmcintosh8511]

If you ever get bored you could put more lights on the KW, some along the sides would be groovy.

[@KD0LRG]

Tell the truth, the wife said no more cuddle time until you cleaned up the yard. 😂

[@throttlewatch4614]

I like the email Andy sent out being part of the team. Is slowing down on the scrap business going to affect the projects ? Lots of cool stuff came from the scrap yard .

[@DGHD]

No shortage of projects and now Andy can be even more selective on what comes in to the yard! We also have V&R for scrapyard shenanigans

[@dogyerf21]

was just about to have a heart attack in the comments section about tying-down properly!!! Thanks for due- diligence clarifying that.

[@yorkchris10]

The railway uses metal tripod footings to mount their signal bungalows. They keep the container off the ground and allow adjustment for levelling.

[@colbymason8054]

You literally have a tank that would drag that thing anywhere, and you chose the hard way?😂

[@DGHD]

it rips the yard up something terrible

[@jarrod2254]

You guys should do a toolbox calendar!

[@willb3018]

Love that old Holmes 750

[@Scoots1994]

I work with containers, and there was a yard in NJ that used 40s on 20s as a tunnel to enter the employee parking lot :)

[@calvinevans8305]

37:53 wow, that's cool. I really like this video.

[@CrimeVid]

Oh great ! not only is all my stuff on top of itself in a can, but it’s friggin’ dark !!

[@DGHD]

where are you from? in Canada we have a thing called electricity and lights....

[@CrimeVid]

@@DGHDLet's see how you get on finding stuff in there even with lights.

[@trevlanes]

I just picked up a 40 foot container myself. I’ve outfitted it with solar for lighting and battery tenders. I’m pretty stoked as the critters have been getting to my projects and the sun has been slowly eating them away.

[@charlesangell_bulmtl]

Assuming you have added vent fan/s?

[@trevlanes]

@@charlesangell_bulmtl No fan. We have very low humidity here, but I will keep an eye on it.

[@TurdyMcTurdface]

Rich, you sleep better at night knowing you have space for more stuff, that's the real reason!

[@berserkir]

I was totally going to make a comment about the ONE strap 😂 should have known you wouldn't roll like that

[@harrytaylor6854]

You mite want to put vents in the c cans ,Yard looking great well done thank you for sharing

[@jmferenermig]

I love the 11:30 moment, i know the feeling😅

[@malibusswagon]

get some big gable vents and install them in the walls. the tiny ones in the container are not enough to keep condensation from raining down on the cars inside

[@tomcocci]

When you say move to a bigger property I think you must be doing exceptionally well because i know the property values in Ontario have gone through the roof.

[@stevesai1126]

rich you need a wheel loader ! find a cheapo on market place and make a video fixing it up !!

[@ro...valverde1622]

Started cleaning my room watching this video 😂

[@benwasyliuk8011]

Chances are, you might not see this comment, but I just picked up some E-track from Princess auto on sale and welded it into the inside of my seacan. Works great because of all the different hook accessories you can get to organize stuff. Just grind away the coating and weld through the holes in the e-track.

[@christopherlenahan3906]

Great video, some storage good ideas in there. I'm partial to the 3-years then toss it rule :). Any plans for the interior of the Kenworth?

[@Bcoots]

Great video. Peg over in Canada with you . Had a great idea by welding a I beam to the top of 1 or 2 of his containers. So you can run a chain and cherry pick anything you want out. He has a row of Cummings in there awesome shit. Gotta love DBG and Peg.

[@troyadams1076]

Well guess I need to go do mine now lol

[@stephenbrown571]

You can ship the old Chevy on down to Florida for the winter. 😂😂😂

[@oldodger]

In Ontario, expect your property taxes to go up once the containers are on site. They use Google maps to check for new structures about every six months to establish permanent or temporary buildings on your estate. Good ol' Canadian taxing. Paint them in a camouflage fashion.

[@puirYorick]

🐔🐓As long as your chickens make a cameo I'll keep watching your videos.😂

[@cattlemenky33]

Next time roll a couple of fence post or light poles under the box then you can push around we're you want lmao😂

[@DGHD]

did that, but for in the way when we had to turn, and got stuck in the gravel

[@EmeryDavis]

25:25 *deletes 2 paragraph rant.* 😂😂

[@stevenmcgregor2219]

Now long time watcher love watching your videos noticed you didn't hook your led signal lights up on park lights tho lol

[@southwestiowacattlefeeding6720]

You need to keep checking the inside of them containers we have 2 of the 40' ones and we didn't check them very often and they started to leak and ruined most of the stuff that was in them. We get along a lot better with 53 foot van trailers.

[@rogerhundley9490]

Holy Pine Cones batman!

[@SilverFlint247]

How are you going to manage moisture in the containers?

[@mopartshemi]

Lmfaoo protect the K whopper i see old peg is rubbin off on yallz

[@danfenn8343]

Check vents inside and out. They aren't water tight. Moisture will build

[@blizz0kid]

Make a carport out of the two lines of shipping containers with the trusses

[@randydobson1863]

hello dghd it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks dghd friends randy

[@wallysworkin823]

I found your channel because of that Tahoe, sad to see it go but rust marches on.

[@bobsch-gd6ze]

Rich, you'll need some ventilation in those sea cans... they get rather stuffy inside during the summer and mold can/will be an issue. Dont ask me how I know living here in BC and storing my Harley inside over time when not riding.

[@nicolasstanley1392]

Rich, them plumb bubbles on that Sea-can doorway were damned sexy

[@Obsidian0Knight]

@25 minutes or so! that was truly funny, i wasn't gonna comment but i certainly was looking at that and thinking, well "agricultural use" rules must be in effect. XD hahhaha

[@peterjensen9218]

New Mouse House!

[@TheSwampdoggydog]

Rich when you have your welder out grind the handles off the containers and lift them up to your height so that you don’t have to bend down constantly

[@johnscott2849]

No expert but I was told by someone who has used them for years but the best thing you can do is keep the containers off the ground, that way it keeps moisture out of the inside. He side if you set them directly onto the ground it will draw moisture inside.

[@marcomcdowell8861]

The chickens were trying to spot you back.

[@christopherlenahan3906]

Don't forget motion lights, sensors and maybe a camera on those doors too! Seacan's seem to attract thieves.

[@Paulster2]

Just realize, future Rich from 2031 will be bringing you a video showing you this video, where a whole new storage idea will come to fruition. :o)

[@georgerogers542]

Don’t take this the wrong way but it reminds me of keystone cops! 😆

[@oldretireddude]

Don't you have condensation issues with steel enclosures?

[@4thgradedropout980]

Can't believe that the boat and the skid steer aren't in the calendar.

[@stephenbrown571]

Chains on a container nope I’m lazy I have container locks on my step deck. 😂😂😂

[@ericmorin9613]

I was really questioning the one strap haha 😅

[@owenlamay6217]

Also wondering if moisture will be an issue for the vehicles during winter in the container? I’m in Wisconsin I picked up a southern crew cab long bed 98 k3500 single wheel that sat in a 95% of the time climate controlled garage and it still started it rust. (I’m in Wisconsin but we Put a 12v with a 5 speed in that truck also lol)

[@owenlamay6217]

Edit: sat in the garage for just under 10 years also

[@TooPoorForADirtFloor]

Build a set of gin poles for the tank if it won’t move it it don’t need moved

[@minnesotatomcat]

Great advice, if you’re gonna spend the time and money on a project then start with something clean. I’d rather spend the money a one way ticket to Arizona or any other state that doesn’t road salt and find a clean vehicle to start with than try to resurrect another Minnesota rust bucket 👍

[@TimmoDukes]

Did you just shove an I beam in the bus? You could have used that. Weld it on the ceiling of the c-can and install a chain hoist on rollers like Peg did with his.
