Seriously... AG1 is no joke. I dare you to try it!
If I was wanting the Pacific bin look, I'd just make it out of wood and clad the siding in something like roofing material that gave the look without all the hurdles. Best of both worlds.
The idea of reusing something like a shipping container is awesome for people worried about waste and who want to reuse a product, beyond that, to me , the benefits arent there.
Great video, though and I look forward to the next buildings you make.
Devon, I really appreciate your brutal honesty and thoroughness of your videos in detail, your container home builds are truly awesome and beautiful, keep up the wonderful builds Devon!
Thanks so much! Just trying to be real. Love chatting it up with you guys about all stuff building. I seriously love this stuff
Most benefits are gone once you start deviating from the container formfactor and adding metal work. If you make clever use of the structural integrity you don't have to invest nearly as much into the foundation either.
Your place is AMAZING! What STUNNING work you do! WOW.
Thank you so much!
Other than cost, all the other issues could be solved by having an architect running the project. When you do something you've never done before of course it's going to be difficult. That is true for most things. But for a qualified professional it's fairly straight forward
2:10 Do you need closed cell spray foam both inside on the ceiling and outside on the roof, or can you just do the roof?
Regardless of the issues, just did a fabulous job. Congrats!!
Thanks so much! Overall, love the home. Just a little more to it than what meets the eye.
I have been binge watching your videos for 2 hours now!
Love to hear it! Welcome to the fam!
so glad to be part of it@@devonloerop
I wonder if it would work as a grandparents unit. Put two down in the backyard sort of thing as place to live when my parents retire.
There's a shipping container place like 4 miles down the road from me, so I've been thinking about it.
So are there any benefits in using a container for a building if you are not doing a simple block I guess for lack of definition.
Great job BTW It really looks beautiful
AG1 is great, as is framing out of lumber instead of shipping containers
These are the same issues I had. I own a saw mill so I was able to CUT my costs a lot. I built the one I live in by hand…I’d do it again, but wouldn’t build another one for someone else
Yeah. This is the hard truth, but they're still awesome.
Factory built homes are the way to go. Mass production efficiencies, proven designs, engineering and manufacturing techniques.
Yeah if you want to live in a cookie cutter cheap looking home with no style
My thoughts exactly. Realized this many hears ago when I've seen the customization costs also having a background in working with steel, welding, etc..
wrong they are made from low quality un tenable mickey mouse parts. Builder for 48 years, I will not and never have remodeled or worked on one. Easy no.
@@nocensorship2253
nope. my brother has run his own construction company for 40 years. when he was in the market for a new home he inspected the factories and manufacturing. They use very high quality components AND stronger structures, and controlld manufacturing standards (instead of young kids banging nails) because the homes must structurally withstand shipping on trucks. you are way wrong...
Thanks for the tips
Of course!
That is good information about the shipping container homes tk s.
You bet!
I'm interested in building and designing shipping container homes, and through all these videos, I've came up with some improvements and work arounds. Some designs and layouts work better than others. One key is as a home, not making them more than they are, they aren't supposed to be luxurious and elaborate, you're working with something utilitarian and being repurposed as a home, the same way a school or warehouse/factory would be. Also one could use fiberglass insulation-- various busses use it.
Wrong, absolutely do not use fiberglass insulation. You will 100% have mold problems if you do. Also, I built a unique luxury short term rental property not a conventional home for a single family to live in, if you know the short term rental space, unique and luxury is a very nice market to be in. :)
@@devonloerop I understand what you're saying. As far as the fiberglass goes; it seems transit and school busses, and coaches use it with no problem, from the tear downs I've seen, is there a difference I'm not seeing? I'm no expert, I'm still learning these things. Could it be busses are just tighter built?
6) Poor resell value
Just got an appraisal and it valued 10% higher than comps in the area. The structure greatly exceeds building code because it's a custom structure. Plus I'd never sell it as a single family home as I'd sell as part of my business, which a multiple on the income will make the resale way higher than a single family home.
@devonloerop 😂 great comeback
Very sure home buyers are looking for Container box style homes. Should be easy for you to sell when you're ready to let go.
I'm not an expert. My prediction: container built homes will age like milk.
@@devonloerop appraisals are great, and no question, they're amazing builds. However, I would like to see some one getting a mortgage for one of these, so please post when you actually sell one or two of them.
I don’t know dude, I have 80k into 1850 square feet, i don’t plan on selling it. But my resell value is there
If I buy the plans will it be ready to take to the permitting? Because this bypasses an architectural design, is that right? Would I still need a structural engineer? So this would save me on needing to hire an architect?
You'd have to check with your local building department on what's required as it's different all across the country. But most times you'll need a local engineer to stamp the set with your address confirming that everything as it's drawn is acceptable for the plot of land you own. But everything in the set I'm selling what all I needed to get my building permit issued.
Love this! Super helpful. I appreciate your transparency. I’ll definitely share this video with others who are considering shipping container homes! 👏🏾
Glad it was helpful. Great chatting with you the other days. Excited to see the podcast come out!
How does work in the Caribbean context? Has anyone from the Caribbean done this? I'm talking about Windward Islands Caribbean (Dominica, St. Lucia, Grenada, SVG).
Im looking to possibly purchase a container home that is finished inside but isnt plumbed. Will it be more difficult to add it at this stage?
Ehhh, idk if I'd do that. Kind of backwards processes there.
Houses like that actually depriciate in value over time. Just like a car. You're not going to be building equity with those things. Yea you have a roof over your head, but a car can pretty much do that too. And it won't cost you an arm and a leg to do.
Thank you for the honest appraisals derived from your personal experiences. Well do e!
of course! not many people transparent about the negatives of these homes.
Would you say a barndominium is an easier/cheaper approach?
Interesting idea 🤔
Legality. Many countries and building regulations have a negative attitude towards container houses.
I know you sell the plans but would you consider writing a book? I think it would be helpful to many people including tradespeople. Just a thought. Thanks for all your advice.
In a union carpenter, i want to say a guy I knew got a container for dirt cheap at the end of the job, it had some dings but nothing else, they just didn’t want to transport it so he took it off their hands for like 500 bucks or something along those lines
wow, $500 is a great deal
Like. How do these meet any sort of building code?
The home was engineered
Love your stuff and get so excited anytime I see a new vid!
Will be ramping up to 2 videos a week by end of the year. Big things planned!
I found I can build the same thing with lumber for less.
Very Nice place tho. Im sure there are a lot of budget friendlier, rougher, builds.
Whats the final Price please and how long it take ?
Go check out my cost breakdown video, it's super detailed. Took about 9months from permit to first guest staying in the home.
I'm currently wrapping up a first if it's kind 5 container home on a remote Cay in The Bahamas 🇧🇸. It's been a steep learning curve for sure and challenging endeavor for my construction firm and the client. I'd advise that persons do their homework and be prepared to have to be creative in their build...
congrats on wrapping it up! The world needs more container homes. Research is so key! Especially in hot/cold environments.
I would like to no how it turns out as I also am from the Caribbean; interested in one and worrying about the heat cause well you know 🥵
I’m wondering if they are good for tropical savanna climate? Hot and humid
Yeah great! As long as you properly insulate
@@devonloerop Thank you. Going to email in few months, love your work.
@@JTMary looking forward to it
My biggest question is how much did you have saved when you started this process? I got a decent amount in stocks and I am tempted to pull the trigger on some property but it’s a big leap of faith it seems 😂
I had about $150k cash on hand! I say go for it. It's scary no matter what!
Would you help someone else make their hom?
Shoot me an email info@thepacificbin.com :)
Without AG1 water , I would never have made it to 50 years old….🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Lots of trials & tribulations, however, it was worth it in the end.
I love your house. There seems to be a lot of jealous guys in the comments.
Hi Devon can you please send me over your container plans I'm really interested.
They are on my website. Www.thepacificbin.com/plans if you use the code "bin70" you'll get 70% off. :)
Hi thanks Devon question how much did the build cost😂
@@rotondabooden7475 there's a whole video breaking it down on my channel!
so just dont stack your containers when building it ? whats so difficult
What are the two unique builds you have planned? :)
Can't reveal them quite yet. ;)
By the time you build an insulated interior and windows you have built a house anyway. The only thing you save is siding
3D printing is the future.
We shall see! :)
Good. Most of the time it's not a reasonable build.
$20,000 for insulation huh?
no
What about WIFI inside the home?
There's high speed internet inside the home! Thanks to T-Mobile wireless internet!
Can you outsource to China and get it cheaper?
😂🎉you admit you messed up hiring inexperienced people,,
Only the hvac guys, they sucked
Hypothetically, could you have built this home out of wood and just used a metal panel exterior for the look?
Sure, but it still wouldn't have this exact aesthetic. It was nice having a lot of the structural work already done with the containers. Plus the home is super durable!
Sounds like a Mayan pyramid.
wut?
It's not pretty when they implode
I've seen those videos! Pretty crazy!
"Dweeb in the Wilderness" should be the name of this channel
Americans complain about everything and this guy is a prime example
Containers over-priced
Yeah, I bought in the peak of covid so they def were for me.
What is missing here, is that, once the containers are in place, a normal person can build most of it.
Couldn't you argue the same thing for if you paid a framer to frame a house? Once it's framed a normal person can do the rest.
