Spencer, just a suggestion, whenever you’re going to climb the ladder to the roof & carry heavy items up, extend the ladder so that it is about 3 feet higher than the roof. This will allow you to hold onto the ladder and still step onto the roof while carrying the load.
Yes, then he will also be OSHA approved…
@@leroysmith8203He doesn't need to be OSHA Compliant because he is a home owner working on his own property.
It's a good idea for safe navigation and control on a worksite. F OSHA. Safety is not a bad idea, just because it's safe.
I would move the ladder away from the window
Spencer lives on the edge...safety third! 😂😂😂
I'm looking forward to you guys getting a gigantic garden going. Perhaps even a large greenhouse to become food independent.
We’re having a heatwave in the Midwest, a balmy 0 degrees here. Spenser, nothing is easy but you always persevere and create your vision into reality. Looks like a one step forward, two steps back kind of video. Don’t sweat it, it will all work out.
Hi Spencer, nice work. For a DIYer you've taught yourself a lot and much respect to your problem solving attitude. I thought of a couple things that might make your life easier in the future. In times where you have to install a heavy overhead item like that bump out box you could lay 2x4s perpendicular to the box wider than the box and push it up with the load control poles you already have, that way the box won't fall through and the wood should push the edge of the box flush with the ceiling. Next time you need to move lots of stuff onto a higher surface like the roof of the container you could put all your tools and machinery inside the bucket of your tractor and use the hydraulics to lift it to the same height as the roof deck.
Great idea IF the tractor isn't still at the mountain property.
Bless Kenzie...She even manages to be funny and smiley when shes feeling crappy.....Great job Guys.
The way you transition into your closing music is so smooth. I’ve watched enough videos that I can tell the video is coming to an end when I hear the subtle change. I don’t know if you edit that or not, but it’s a nice touch. Love your videos, good luck with the cabin and feel better!
Yes, that music at the end always makes me think Nooo, not already. 😂
Spencer, next time you are putting a box like that through the roof, weld some tabs to the lowest part of the box. Make the tabs from 1" pieces of angle iron. That makes the tabs "L" shaped and they will not only keep the box from going too far into the hole but give you a little extra to weld to the roof.
Sure do enjoy watching you, the kids, and the work. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
You guys amaze me every video. Spencer you’re the man to figure it out!! Love your projects and what you come up with. You’re a very smart person and it sure shows. Love you guys, take care and good luck moving forward. 👍👍❤️❤️🎂
Way to go Spencer. Just shows what hard work can achieve. A great example to your children….soon to be three.
I really look forward to watching your new videos. You kids actually have fun while doing so many serious projects. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
you got the roof bump boxes welded into place, great work Spencer, Cam and Beau are great kids and Mckenzie is a great videographer and editor. have a wonderful week
Hey Mackenzie, try boiling some fresh Thyme leaves in a good size pot of water. When the water takes on the color of the leaves (greenish-brown - takes about 45 mins), put a load of honey into a Thermos and strain the Thyme water into the thermos.
Drink sips throughout the day - this stuff is magical. My local Wholefoods and even Publix has the fresh Thyme. Give it a try - all my friends love it!
Thanks for the advice. I'm a Fan of the Channel and I very much appreciate great ideas. I'm going to follow your instructions to the letter and I hope Mackenzie does the same...
Best for your cough and kids can take it too is chop up an onion and add 4 tablespoons honey. Let it stand for a while it will draw a syrup and drink that syrup as cough syrup 3 to 4 times a day. To help when u have a bout of coughing swallow quarter teaspoon coconut oil it soothes the scratch in your throat. Hope u get well soon and nobody else gets sick❤
Oh my goodness, Cam and Beau are so stinking cute! Cam rocks those safety glasses!
Kenzie... chop up an onion, put it in a gallon zip lock bag, put your foot in the bag with the onion, zip it tight around your leg (as tight as it will go). Then throw on some socks to keep the baggies on your feet, then go to bed... I was told about this to help with coughs and it works so well!! It sounds kinda dumb, I know... but it works. Hopefully you can get some relief soon. Works for children too, if they need relief.
We always put Vicks vapor rub on the bottom of our feet, then socks. Also works pretty good
We used gauze, then Sarah wrap.
Great tip!
@@TheSkeetergirlis Sarah wrap a plastic wrap that sticks together, or something else?
With the other half of the onion, place it in an open bowl beside your bed. It will also draw out the toxins and cold/virus.
I love watching how you guys work and troubleshoot. You always persevere and that’s the goal. When the bump out nearly fell through he could’ve said “my heart stopped!” Because mine did. But also, my butt puckered at the same time. 🤷♀️ Sooo, I think the response was an honest one. 😆
Kensi, during my pregnancies I had to sleep propped up. Developing cough with compromised lung capacity required it. I was blessed to have a very comfortable recliner with my first and a very comfortable sectional with a chaise lounge with the last two. I now have an electrical lift bed that I wish I would’ve had back then. God bless and keep you all!!
But it's a "family" channel.. Now I can hear the kids repeating that.. not actually knowing what it means.. lol..
That's what I was going to recommend, Kenz sitting/sleeping in a recliner until her cold is gone! And maybe get one of those Vicks humidifiers for night time. You sure don't want bronchitis on top of this illness!! 🤧😫
When I had a cold, lying down my sinuses would drip into my throat and cause me to cough. Put extra pillows behind me to prop me up. No more cough.
The music at the end of the videos is so unique but most times it feels like it comes too soon as you’re still enjoying the video. ❤️❤️
Spencer, why not use the front end loader on your tractor to place all that stuff and then just lift it up to the top of the roof. Remember, work smarter and not harder. ✌️😎
You right
Perhaps up the mountain still?
I think the tractor is still at the mountain property.
Me thinking I'd have taken some 2x4's and put them under the openings to set the boxes on and used the braces to hold the 2x4's against the inside of the roof. Just don't want to see you guys get hurt doing these "sketchy" projects. 😉
Amazingly patient, and hard-working man. Salute.
Spenser, I apologize for having so little faith in you. I just knew that steel box was going through the window, but you made it up without a scratch!! I’m so sorry you have to move that wire, because that is some precision zip tying you have to undo! Major bummer!! Kenzie, excellent filming and editing and everything you do as a mom, as always! You rock! Love to your family, from Oregon ♥️ Jess
First of all this old man loves my little family that's not really my family ❤. Next I'm 65 years old and welded most of my life. And Spencer I've got to say. You really impress me with that flux core welding. If course that shouldn't surprise me because you both just keep amazing me. Thanks again for letting a old man tag along ❤😊
yes i was shock myself on how much he knows about welding this channel my favorite family channel keeping fingers cross for another Mama's Boy soon
I heard the chicken clucking at about @8:45 and thought, "That was a well timed click." Then I remembered that you two don't have any chickens and laughed out loud! Well done editing that could only come from a loving wife!
🐔💜
Great Job Guys! Love to see how nothing stops you two. Keep up the awesome work. God Bless you, your family and all who support you.
Your problem solving is really good and it shows in your work. Will look really good when you get done.
You do such a good job putting videos together. I always enjoy watching.
Spencer, use your tractor to lift up your heavy items....then climb up and simply pick them up! This could also lift up your generator too...to the level you find more adaptable. Use your pallet forks and even an empty pallet if needed. Nice job, just make things easy for yourself and use your hydraulics whenever you can! 🙂
@@Sebastian-xv1qdCame to write the same thing.
I recently learned a zip tie hack--flatten a nail tip that will result in the same width as the zip tie slot and you can loosen the tie and slip it out. No more unnecessary waste of zip ties!
Brilliant cough remedy ever. Chop a red onion into a Mason jar. Pour 100% organic or raw honey onto the onions till covered. Let it sit overnight to draw the liquid out of the onions. Have a table spoon 3 times a day. Keeps in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
My thoughts as well! ❤
I'm chuckling over the image of Mackenzie trying all the suggested cures for her cough and imagining the reaction from the children. "Can we try some too, mummy?" Here is an extra suggestion that helps me: a mucus clearance device. You blow into it and it creates gentle pressure vibrations in your lungs. They help remove the irritating mucus.
Whatever you try, hopefully you will feel better soon.
Every project has a hick-up. Don't worry. There will be more. Looking good so far. See you next time. Hope you all get well soon. Stay warm.
Wardrobe changes!!! Strut your stuff Spenser!!😂😂😂 mmmmm muscles. 💪🏻 ❤😂 you two are so cute! Love the humor!!!
Next time install some wood cross bracing, mounted to the top of your wall framing. Allow that box to sit on it securely. Unscrew it when ur done. You catch that thing in your dome.... game over.
One thing to consider at this stage of the build, security. Build a shutter system to secure your windows from vandalism and entry by building boxes similar to the boxes on the roof. Make them removable for when you are there and then locked down when not. May find some ideas from hurricane country on how they protect from damage and looting. Love the build.
Nice picture of Orion constellation at the end. Clear skies!
Looking good so far Spencer, keep up the good work. Always good to see the family involved.
Hope you are on the mend Kenzie. And you and your family are 'weathering' the horrible weather down there!
Thank you friends, doing great! 👍
Those Mom and Dad jokes are piling up ! Lol. Thanks for sharing you're beautiful smiles with us !!! 😊
Thank you all for showing the mistakes! We all make them and it is just part of the process. Keep up the great work!
The 'pucker factor' is always real when you're doing something new and trying to figure it out on the fly. Spencer always pulls through and makes it happen. Your calm and methodical approach to problem solving provides the time and mental space to make it happen. Great job, Spencer!
It's great to have you guys. I love watching you. Happy new year to you both and your beautiful children ❤
I still have to say after all these years how much I appreciate the chicken sound effects. Classic.
Again I say that Spencer is the man with a plan and if that one doesn't work out then you come up with a new plan. You are a modern day MacGyver. The kids are precious and they are growing up so fast and there is another one on the way. Thanks again for bringing us along on your adventure and until the video be safe and prosperous.
Good job Spencer! Hardest working man on TH-cam!!! Best wishes to you all!
I just decided what you two builders need . You need one or two thousand "Lego Blocks" . That will be sooooo much fun . You can make a scale model of your farm and then put the whole thing inside a nice clear plastic case . That will look so neet !
Awesome job Spencer!!! U guys r doing a wonderful job!!!!
Spencer, I have seen you climb that ladder so many times and each time I ask myself, "why doesn't he extend the ladder higher and make it easier on himself?" Seriously, extend the ladder a few more rungs. This is easier and safer. It gives you something to hold on to getting on and off the roof.
For someone who works soooooo hard with his hands, Spencer has the most beautiful groomed hands. Hand modeling could be a thing for him. Love your videos!
Kenzie, I agree with Spencer 🤷♀️ No better explanation that a puckered butt 👍😂. Oops than a puckered butt 😂 Great job Spencer 💕
turning a humidifier on will help a lot with the cough. i use a warm mist ultrasonic humidifier
Spencer, How about using your tractor to put the 50lbs of stuff up by the roof.. You doing a Great journey.
Maybe you should have taken your tractor forklift with a pallet and all your stuff and put it up there, just a suggestion from a fan!
Your kids are sweet, your container is looking good.
The best way to dress is in layers in the winter... You can save energy by keeping it cooler inside, and add or remove layers as you work and get hot, or add a layer as you sit and get colder. It beats being uncomfortable or trying to stay comfortable with a thermostat. Older military cargo planes have miles of unused wire in them, because when we wired a new system, we just cut the old wires if we couldn't use them and ran the new wire. Saved time, and often removing the old wire was impossible without major modifications. (I'm suggesting leaving the old wire alone and run the new one.)
Spencer, you are freaking amazing!! I'm blown away by your skills, your creativity and attention to detail, but most importantly, I'm blown away by the fact that you're doing all this practically by yourself!👏👏👏💞
Life has been pretty contained for me, since it has been -10 outside.
Same here and today we woke up to an inch of ice covering everything. Grateful to be retired but going stir crazy 😜 Stay safe and warm 👍
Me, too! But I don't mind staying in.
-10 is not so bad. Come to Wyoming and we can give you -30 to play in......
@@extremelydave Give me NW Missouri over anywhere-Wyoming every day of the week.
Love your channel...been watching since day one. Great seeing the family expand. Name of channel should be Life " just need to make some minor adjustments" Uncontained! LOL. Love the reality of the reality!
So last year I called 2023 the year of the Bible. All my children their spouses and my grandchildren received a new Bible. I know they probably had Bibles already but I was making a point and making sure those that might not have one. I pray they use and read them! I had around 20 Bibles I must really be on their list now!
2 boards under the metal box - jack the boards up...
Have you thought about adding a piece of 2x2 angle iron in the ceiling from side wall to side wall to support the roof at the AC units?
If you had put a hand full of self drilling screws through the AC box from the inside they would keep the box from falling through the hole...once it was tacked in place, just remove the screws and weld the holes shut as you pass by them. Or just screw a piece of angle to each end as a temporary foot to keep it at the height you want and keep it from falling through.
Also, not sure how many devices your putting in the electric box at the pocket door, but you have WAY to many cables in that shallow box...put a large 2-gang (or even a 3-gang) box with a blank finish plate on it in the ceiling as a junction box and only take one cable down for each device...you'll be happy you made this change.
Try eating marshmallows for your cough! My mom had lung cancer and her oncologist told her to eat a handful of marshmallows if she had a coughing fit. Something with the coating of the marshmallow coats your throat -better than honey. It works too! Hope you feel better!
Wishing a hard hat for you every time you’re working with heavy objects above your head. Good thing you have luck and talent both.
Looks like fun. Makes me want to do a container build!
For coughing - if you can’t use an inhaler to open your air passage way - don’t know if you can take an antihistamine since you’re pregnant because that would help relieve the draining down the back of your throat when you’re laying down - some say eat a couple marshmallows before you go to bed and that’ll stop the coughing. Also good luck. Hope you feel better soon.
I would hang the drywall but not mud it until the cabin is in place. I'm guessing a lot of joints will crack during transport. Looking good.
In our 50 sq m 1 BR apartment we found it possible to set up temporary sleeping in the DR area. With the sick one sleeping in the DR and the other in the BR, with the door closed, it is possible for both to sleep. The BR also functions as a dinning room or for sitting, or gymnastics.
Just love to see how you put everything together. Job well done. So excited to see the next move on project.
Spencer, you have certainly come a long way, and have added so much to your skillset. Just imagine how much those skills are actually worth!!! Great job!!! 😊
Morning Susan 🌹🌹
Meet a new day, how are you feeling today, hope all is going well with you over there??
Spencer, I feel your pain brother when you was talking about having an extension cord on top and needing it down inside the cabin and then needing it back up on top agen !! I go through the same mess on my projects to. That reminds me Spencer, you've dune alot of cutting metal and I was wandering what kind of cutting wheels you've found that last the longest ? I'm getting ready to build a shop out of steel and I'm looking for cutting wheels that don't whear out so fast. I could use your advice. And McKinsey, did I miss something? I thought I saw Cam wearing glasses also I love the music you put on your videos and I know it would be extra work but it would be nice if we could know how to look up the music you use on the videos. Love it. Give Beau and Cam a big hug for me and tell Bear and Io I said Hi. God bless you all.
I keep thinking the tractor could help lift those things up to the roof. Spencer you work so hard!
Looks great. You do really move work. Hmm, have you considered just temporarily welding metal tabs around the opening that would keep the box from falling in and allow it to line up perfect with the metal roof. Then just drop the box into the hold and weld enough of it in place to secure. Then inside and cut away the metal tabs. Then finish off the welding above. A lot easier than the floor to ceiling braces.
Spencer your abilities and talents are truly a blessing to your family. Bles you all❤
Morning Joy🌹🌹
Meet a new day, how are you feeling today, hope all is going well with you over there??
My compliments to whoever does the editing and sound engineering. Nice job.
Hey when is the baby going to arrive? Do we know if it’s a girl or boy yet? Can’t wait to see the little one your kids are so adorable!👍😎❤️
Just a thought. For future welder use you can put the old wire onto the new welder.
It's coming together beautifully! Keep up the hard work 💪
Good I love these guys they literally helps my PTSD 🙏
I feel like this channel jumped the shark when Spencer became the star.
I only wish the videos were longer and more frequent 😅 you guys are amazing, wishing you all the barakah!
I've been watching y'all for years. You really have the best show out there. I look forward to each video that y'all put out and I always get sad when it's over. Keep up the good work!
well, it is soo darn hard that we always see the history... I would have loved to scream out: Make the switch to be an - What we call "outside placed" (I am a swede, with our building terms and traditions). We often go to breakers sitting on the surface of the wall, especially when doing fixer-upper builds, where the place in the walls is scarce.... Forgot to tell I so much admire and envy your welding skills - and I have seen them growing, this is so nice.....
Place your heart she running into so many issues with this new container but once it’s all done, it’ll be worth it it’s gonna be more beautiful than the other one I think! I just have less space to do what you wanna do that’s the issue but it’s all gonna work out!!❤🎉🎉 sounds like you have bronchitis? McKenzie, do you know if you’re having a boy or a girl? oh my gosh the hole in your roof that you’re doing dear Lord please help him.!!!😮 praying over your roof!❤ bless your heart and your positive attitude is what is going to make all this work in the long run. It’s gonna be all right.❤🎉 I’m excited to see the end results when he gets all this done it’s gonna be beautiful!! spencer, one day at a time!!❤❤
I'm so happy you all have seen coneheads lol one of my favourites from when i was a kid. LUNCH LUNCH LUNCH LUNCH :)
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
I've been following your guys' from day one, and you are a inspiration. Keep it up. All the way from South Africa
Only geniuses can detect the problems and fix them you are the one😅😊💜
Probably won’t be a popular opinion, but all this work for the multitude of bump outs and customizations is really showing the limitations of using a shipping container for this purpose.
I would have installed min-split heat pumps that only require a pass through hole for the lines and cables and the indoor units can go on any wall.
Been here from the beginning. Always look forward to the next posting. This was the highlight of my Saturdays, the posting are further apart now but always worth the wait.
That would be a perfect picture of mama and her children by the tree like that!!!
I wish I was as strong and brave as Spencer ! Great job again !
might be better to add a junction box and run the shorter piece to it then add the needed wire to the fan....
Yes! That would save time and be easier to do.
കണ്ടിരിക്കാൻ വളരെ interesting ആണ് താങ്കളുടെ വീഡിയോസ് എല്ലാം
എത്ര രസകരമായിട്ടാണ് എല്ലാം ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് പറഞ്ഞു തരുന്നത്
Congratulations brother And sister

NIGHT COUGH FIX…put a fair amount of Vick’s on the bottom of your feet, put on socks and go to bed. Works, don’t know why, but it does!
All I can say is, you're very brave. Cutting holes in container ceilings would make me crazy!
Thanks friends for the new episode the RV work update.👍
Easiest cough remedy for nighttime cough... rub vicks on the front of your neck and wrap a small towel around your neck and pin it in place. Leave it there all night. I guarantee you’ll sleep better than you thought possible... and so will Spencer! The trick is to keep your neck warm. Don’t know why, but it works!
Nice job on the AC bunks .
You will have so much experience working in these small/mini spaces you can open up a custom camper/RV shop! 😁 Flexibility is becoming a theme word.
Dudes got a great attitude "
Feed him good ! he deserves it .
