Turning A Shipping Container Into A Home! Could You Live Here?

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

That's pretty cool. Those would be good, too, on a property that was used for hunting or "off-grid" type. Leave the outside looking like a container and the inside is a beautiful home. Thanks for sharing! I love this type stuff too.

[@PavingNewPaths]

We think this would be perfect for something like that!

[@StanR56]

great video keep up the good work...................

[@PavingNewPaths]

Thanks!

[@teresasieck1925]

I love this, I have been thinking of a tiny home but wasn't sure, I still want to travel is I can. This though is a great option if traveling doesn't pan out.

[@daydreamer0923]

Thank you. I do hope whichever reason brings them to purchasing the beautifully built home, it fills them with joy & happiness that spills beyond any walls. 👋🙂. Thanks again for the video.😁

[@melindaroberts4921]

Great video, those container homes are so cool.

[@PavingNewPaths]

Thanks! We think so, too!

[@TWinn5891]

Definitely could live here! All the amenities of a big house without all the extra work of maintains it! Living with less makes for a less stressful, simpler lifestyle. Allows you to enjoy the outdoors more which is where we are meant to be! 😍😍

[@RV-Adventures-Travels]

That was awesome to watch!

[@PavingNewPaths]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lindabrown2211]

Ok, so I watched Kevin's trailer/tool reveal .. and this video is an awh ha moment .. Kevin's needs an office🤗🤣

[@PavingNewPaths]

That's such a great idea! He would love that! A place for his new business venture and a place to edit and do all of our KZbin/Social Media business!

[@sandyharrington2795]

We have a friend that has a 5 storage container home. Turned out so nice.

[@bobblanchard5192]

Wonder how many chemicals were shipped in that container.Ex truck driver here.No flip flops.😅

[@PavingNewPaths]

The best part about this comment is you made sure I knew you weren't a flip flop trucker!

[@ralphowens4510]

i'm sure kevin can relate to this, with the oilfield back ground. This is so much better than an RV.

[@PavingNewPaths]

Yes, indeed!

[@michaelh2797]

I like this. I would definitely consider this on the right property.

[@PavingNewPaths]

We would, too!

[@Patricksmancave]

Wow! This is cool. Thank you for going us a tour!

[@PavingNewPaths]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Shellyprestin]

Wow!!! That is amazing

[@PavingNewPaths]

We thought so too!

[@Colleen1978]

Loved this! Great montage too! We were thinking of building a shouse or barndo but this could be an option!

[@PavingNewPaths]

Whatever you decide to do will be great! I love these because they can be insulated so well and feel so sturdy!

[@davidhypes5228]

Awesome and fun video!

[@PavingNewPaths]

Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!

[@franmcclain1037]

Thanks!

❤❤❤❤ absolutely love it.

[@PavingNewPaths]

Us too!

[@mscarlarn]

I too watch soooo many tiny home shows. Love them. This is a nice place. So many great features.

[@PavingNewPaths]

This was a great build! KZbin has so many videos on tiny living! They're so fun to watch!

[@waynepike7074]

So Kevin you need to make available your “ Good Morning Y’all “ for downloading to be used for a ringtone etc. would be great

[@PavingNewPaths]

Any idea how to do that? That's a great idea and we'd love that ringtone too!

[@waynepike7074]

No I’m no tech expert but I’m sure someone out there would know better than me. I open up your channel and play it for my wife in the morning!

[@walterrafolski5662]

I like see these used as an Rv, at least you will know how it’s built.

[@PavingNewPaths]

True!

[@mikewadams1]

Very cool! I have looked at these and they make some really cool houses. I like the ones they make out of multiple units especially.

[@PavingNewPaths]

Yes, the multi container homes are pretty awesome!

[@kevincameron8437]

I bet there's no Frame Flex in these units!! These are pretty cool and it looks to be pretty well built. And I can see these being stackable for 2 story houses...Thanks for sharing.

[@PavingNewPaths]

No frame flex at all! Thanks for watching!

[@amsohn1]

This is awesome... thanks for sharing. Blessings ❤

[@PavingNewPaths]

Thank you! Blessings to you, as well!

[@samantharogers9147]

Loved this video! Find some more cool stuff like this!

[@PavingNewPaths]

We had fun with this one and hope to find other cool projects like this to film, on occasion!

[@Bailey12585]

These are neat and bet a lot of people in New York apartments 😂are jealous of the space. My family RV full time and love how these are made

[@JeffinSouthernTierNY]

Cool video! How do they secure them to the ground? Foundation, hurricane tie downs?

[@luxbuildinggroup]

shipping container mounts fastened to concrete piers is the most ideal. Some people will embed steel plates with rebar and weld the container to the plates

[@JeffinSouthernTierNY]

@@luxbuildinggroup wow, right from the source! Good to know, thanks!

[@Golden.5555]

Just something to consider but an option for an electric oven or convection oven instead of gas. But very nice !

[@PavingNewPaths]

You can have it built however you like! He uses gas for the model home just to show the option!

[@paulehd]

Paving New Paths home (reno and tiny home channel) I love guys keep up the Alishsa has a new sales job in her future.

[@PavingNewPaths]

Yessss!

[@ChrisAndTroy]

The key to these shipping container homes is to know the history of the container! If you can get them brand new that's best, otherwise you need to check the history to make sure hazardous chemicals weren't shipped in the container because you do NOT want to expose your family to those residual chemicals. Love that you guys are doing videos like this! Not everyone needs to live in a giant master plan community home!

[@ralphp3057]

Totally agree! I would never live in one !!!

[@PavingNewPaths]

This is just the model unit! Like he said in the video all the homes for sale will be new units never been used to ship!

[@ChrisAndTroy]

@@PavingNewPaths Good deal! Too often people get into one of these projects and look for the least expensive shipping container without thought of its history.

[@luxbuildinggroup]

We Absolutely agree! This unit did not have any smells, we sprayed the entire unit with bleach and pressure washed it many times before laying the new floor and framing the walls. All future units will be new Containers that will still be cleaned in and out prior to being built! We love that you've done research!

[@ChrisAndTroy]

@@luxbuildinggroup we're on the other side of Houston in Fulshear. Where are you mainly shipping these? We've seen several tiny home communities out west of us near Fredericksburg - planning a trip to go check those out soon!

[@dsjonesconservative8509]

How do you empty the gray and blackwater? Are there holding tanks under it? If so how big are they?

[@PavingNewPaths]

It is built like a traditional home, you hook up to sewer when you put it in place and there are no tanks to empty!

[@Jayhawk226]

Was this a spacer so you have more time to move in? Pretty cool concept, now to find some land to build on.

[@PavingNewPaths]

Don't worry! We still haven't moved in! Lol! We thought this would be a fun video for our viewers, so we took a day and decided to put moving in on hold so we could get this filmed!

[@cynthiagrider9344]

[@chrisbond24]

Yes I can I live in shipping container

[@PavingNewPaths]

I honestly think I could too! Especially if we connected a few units together so that we could have room for the kiddos!

[@chrisbond24]

@@PavingNewPaths a lot of people our building homes out of shipping containers by connecting by two or more shipping containers

[@MaxHavoc69]

I think that it's sad that many Americans have been reduced to having to consider living in something so small, this is the type of living space that you see in much less developed countries. Our elected leaders have failed us in almost everyway possible for at least 50 years, yet we let them take our money only to give it to other countries for their benefit.

[@PavingNewPaths]

I don't think many people who look into living in a tiny home do so out of it being their last resort. Many choose to live this way, because living tiny allows you to free up more of your time and finances to do and see the things that are most important to you, versus spending your time and money maintaining a large home.

[@MaxHavoc69]

@@PavingNewPaths That may have been the case in the past but with the cost of housing doubling in many parts of the country more and more people are being forced to find cheaper alternatives to housing. Container homes are a neat concept but I don't believe they are worth almost 100K. My wife and I built a small house on a farm property that's 12x24 with a bedroom loft and full size bathroom for right around 30K.

[@randylester1219]

​@@PavingNewPathsI agree, and like you said, if it's on a place that you decide later you want to change, load it up and move it. 👍

That’s kinda where we are America is being close two third world conditions, we have the “money” we just don’t spend it wisely on what the people need to better their lives

@@PavingNewPaths , bless your heart! You are so right. But, isn’t it wonderful we all have different tastes. We’d be stacked up if we didn’t.
