metal 2x4's that is got to be the most fireproof ever and will last forever, now what if after you affixed the drywall you poured sand in, instead of spray foam or fiberglass insulation, it would also be very soundproof due to the weight and density advantage.....
I love that idea, definitely an innovative approach. I wonder if there is a similar material to sand that is less dense and heavy, as to not put stress against the drywall?
@@ContainerHomeAcademy youtube 'blanked' my reply again, so I'll just repaste here: 'I suppose solid spray foam is second best, but I'd probably not use drywall. Maybe extra reinforced OSB sheeting (more expensive/weather rated), or to keep it all metal, a sheet metal or plate solution... with welding, riveting, etc. to still use sand. If one had access to beach, could get a bulk lot pallet of (empty) sand bags. And externally, what if the container hull was welded to a rebar lattice, and then have internal bracing on the walls for the concrete pour, underground... with experience, one could specialize in this construction.'
what if you buried one, stacked one on top with 'dogs' at all 4 edges, then could flood cement in. And if you buried 2 deep with one on top (3) or two on top (4 total) you could then affix one vertically (5th can) for the elevator shaft down two and up one from ground level...
@KF-qj2rn I like your idea, but from what I understand, containers don't do very well underground due to the force of the dirt or concrete pressing against the sides. The walls of the container are relatively thin and can become distorted with that type of force. However, your idea is solid for an aboveground design, as containers are capable of being stacked many levels high due to their structure.
The reason we used the standard size steel studs is because in NY the code requires 3" of foam (R-21). If we used the smaller 2.5" studs we would only gain 2" across the width of the container.

Would of loved to see the finish home bulit
The finished home video is coming soon. I'm working on finishing the house now.
Whoa! Are you cutting butter or steel? That saw is SICK!🤯
I really like that saw. It cuts metal as if it was wood, and the cut is almost perfectly smooth!
Steel cuts like butter with this saw! I love how well it works.

please tell me the size of the corner
40 foot high cube

more please
I'm working on more now! Uploading as the video progresses.
Thank you for watching!
wide steel studs waste of money + losing sq .
