Here is a video of another Container Window home talking about why not to use the utility window for their container house (which seem to be what you used when I saw the video) th-cam.com/video/ZTan669DxHU/w-d-xo.html I put the 500sec mark so it start where they talk about it.
You have an amazing wife. She doesn't hesitate to jump in and help with any project. She has many talents.
Yeah, they are a very versatile family. Can't wait to see Oliver welding, grinding, and movin' dirt with the D-9 next year. ;)
It is important to foam insulate the internal walls and be sure there are no cavities between steel and insulation, otherwise you will get condensation.
^ should add its adhesive spray foam, it’s the most efficient insulation for containers and doesn’t leave voids where moist air can condense against cold steel
@@mctaggm
Yes! That spray foam is an excellent sealant.
Facts!
InSoFast is a great looking container specific insulation. They also make a great exterior insulation for a conventional home build.
We never see Oliver fuss. They are so blessed to have such an amiable baby.
just because they don't film/show it, does not mean it never happens. I've never seen them take a p00p too, but i bet it will happen
The incredibly cautious way he says caulk 😂
Riley, you need to build a large wheeled cart for your welder to ride on when outside for easier rolling.
And to attach a new snow plow to! Winter weld plow 5000!
I thought that would have an excellent time for the skid steer
Just put some off-road tires on the cart
Paint prep is key to a good finished product! It's also 60 % of the whole job. Fun project! 😊
I really enjoy watching you make things, but I really enjoy seeing the love that you two have for each other
Riley is such a MASTER FABRICATOR !! AMAZING !!
This would have been a great time to have the rough terrain welding cart. I look forward to that build
Remote control? 😉
Use the skid steer as a remote control.
With motor assist!
@@thegreeneyej don't forget the seat and hydraulic steering!!! Lol 73 Dan
CONGRATS on THE MILLER SPONSORSHIP.
BIG DEAL.
Courtney, using the cardboard to finish marking the cutout lines was very clever! Great job.
Riley, I think you should add larger wheels to your welder along with a handle that makes it easier to control and move long distances. The project looks great - just like always! I'll be excited to see finished product and its new location.😊
Maybe a simple robotic drive with those larger wheels?
Larger pneumatic wheels and a tow bar for the quad, etc.
I, for one, appreciate the PPE you guys use. Great example for us all !
I do too but I wish they would use quality knee pads as they will probably feel it later on in life. They have come a very long way
Your mother is going to love her tiny house. 😊
Dynaflex Max is like 10x messier than the old formulation. It's not just you :)
It would've been interesting to use the cutout as the awning, and put it AND the porch on hinges so it could fold up and be actually portable, and also fold up for security if you want to leave it somewhere unattended.
What an awesome way to honor your Mom! Great job you guys!!
Baileydog and Boonedog cameos! That always makes a good video!
Love when you two do projects together!!!
Now we have to build a giant window frame that holds two windows and the door... And the ROOF, load bearing points are vital. And as you yourself showed in the previous video, even heavy steel bends under load.
Military auctions are a great place to find great anything.
Being an Air Force brat. We went to Government Auctions a lot. We got our bed from the military, storage cabinets, tabels, accidentally radar absorbent paint, and many other things.
Best Mother’s Day gift ever for grandma 🌸💜💐
This was one of those episodes where i don't want it to end, now I have to wait for a whole week until the next one! 😊
What a great family, Oliver is so precious,and his mother is the best! family members are forever!!hope you are feeling better Courtney!! Moms so Happy with that new mini house.ryan rocks the roost!later kids Love the skinners family members
I just wanted to comment FINALLY and tell you guys that you are sooo f***ing cool!!! You're both so talented and I love that you're sharing all your adventures in building your homestead with us! Been following for about two years now and I'm so inspired by you two, hoping to buy some land someday and get into similar projects ❤️
As a fellow back issue sufferer I hope you get better quickly!!! My two boys hate when my back is out because it limits soo much. My wife was watching with me and was like "Damn, she is like you put her back out while coughing." The strangest things bring it on.
It just wouldn't be an Ambition Strikes video without Riley's butt hanging out. ASS-ide from that, another awesome job guys!
Nice work Riley
Good thing you are lucky to have Courtney smooth up and beautify the final product.
Really coming along nicely.
Can't wait to see the finished product.
You Guys are so funny. Good showmanship all around.
You kids bring a whole new meaning to "making the sparks fly". Loving this project. One note: be very careful where you locate "Mom's Cabin". Too far away from your house and, one big snowfall, she has to wait for you guys to move the snow so she can get out. Also, try to give her a flat surface to walk to your home. One good freeze and Mom could be sliding down the driveway like a bobsled driver--without the sled.
Nice, i can’t wait for decor from walls, ceiling, floor and all the things that make it a home!! Mom looked very excited so I was excited for her!!
So much work done by the three of you. It is looking fantastic! I have not done a lot of painting but enough to know it's a lot of work and hard on your back and arms. Courtney you are a gluten for punishment. Hope you get some quiet rest soon. Your Oliver is such a handsome boy and love his smile. Your mom's smile says , thank you so much! See you later.
Gluten? You must mean _glutton_ . Maybe you have gluten-free (as in a diet) on the mind?
I've got news for you, the three of them are barely doing any of the work. The vast majority of the work is being done by others off camera.
@@bonzocleach2496 How do you know that? How many people are off camera?
@@wallykramer7566 Because I wasn't born yesterday. Construction, painting, welding, fabricating, moving equipment and materials, etc. is hard work. These people never get dirty. They don't sweat. Every clipped scene of them doing anything is about 10 seconds. Come on man, use your brain.
Yes to the tubing bender!! You should make a steel tube rocking chair for Grandma's porch!!!
Love the design and doing it the right way. Beveling steel before welding, paint prep all makes it done right. Excellent job. Hope the Cortney's back is better. Great to have family help.
Get your-self a battery operated caulk gun - constant smooth bead all the time the trigger is engaged. No more scallops of caulk. Worth the $$.
Thanks for the tip.
Looks good.
Yes Riley I do want to see you bend some tubing.
I enjoy watching (and learning) you and your family build lots of things. Hello from Michigan.
And do the tubing length calculations!
I love watching your projects. You are so good with metal.
I'm 61 & when i grow up, i wanna be like Riley!!
Looking so great! Mom will be in luxury in her own house!
Will you come build me a Tiny Home, y'all are amazing and OH how adorable is Oliver!!!
Hello Juanita
So far your idea with this container is working out great.When you two work together great things happen.Keep up the fantastic work.All thumbs up.👍👍👍👍
Courtney, you guys need to build you an "inversion table" which will allow you to hang upside down and give your spine relief from compression. Gravity hates this one complicated trick!
Add a set of air quick disconnect fittings to your shielding gas line. Then you can leave the talks in the shop. Yes, you have to drag the hose around with the extension cord but thats better then the tank(s).
Works great out of the back of the truck as well.
Amazing you both 😂 with comedy involved and help from your brother
Riley I adore your work. For me welding is such a beasty complicated thing because of bending and forming on the heat. You really get it all the time.
I've broken a rib coughing. Courtenay has my sympathy.
Glad you answered the osh gosh semi question cause I’m really excited to see what you do with it and the tiny house your mother in law may not want to leave with the views you have and no electric bill or water bill and a son in law that can fix everything lol 😂
I think the hilarious part about this video is that I was just looking at buying that exact paint sprayer you two used. Your video was a perfect advertisement for it. 😂
I think it's time for Courtney to make some steel magnolias. Let little Oliver paint some too. Even a few big metal Daisy's would look awesome. I have a friend that use to make statues out of a mixed bag of old farm equipment parts. Some were a bit scary looking but people from as far as Washington DC wanted him to make them art. He'd smoke weed and get his inspiration...hint, hint.
Was feeling super crummy today but y'all's videos are so uplifting and informative. Love your content and watching y'all's place grow.
Riley, when caulking, spray the caulking with a washing liquid solution then use your finger or a tool to compress and shape.
Looking forward to seeing where the tiny house willl live.
It’s one thing to have the right tools. It’s another thing to know how to use them. You guys DEFINITELY know how to use them 👍. Absolutely FANTASTIC !! I love these videos.
That paint job and the craftsmanship 👏
Hope you feel better real soon Courtney!!!!!!!
Thank you Miller. Great channel to sponsor.
Great paint job Courtney!
good job guys, i have painted dozens of gallons of urbane bronze inside my customers houses, and i never thought that could be what color your buildings are, ive never done it outdoors, it looks more olive outdoors. also, if you have any issues with that dtm enamel, i feel you! i have brushed, rolled, and sprayed that stuff, it never lays out nice!
LUCKY MOM. Wow the container looks so good painted , Riley and Courtney you 2 are so talented on how you come up with ideas on making things. have you seen the pistol grip for rattle cans ? It makes it so much easier to paint with. It was great to have your brother there to help. Cant wait to see the next stage of the build.
What a Great Team you guy’s make! This video reminds me of when you built the house! Oliver is still the star of the Show 🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Courtney and Riley are amazing people. They have many different hats to wear. Tiny house looks great
Being ill suits Courtney - in a nice way - she looks awesome ❤
Yes 100% @4:42
Got to see tube bending!

Edit
you did really well there ..*(My time line .. considering I have to find all my cutting disk and face shield /mask.
Etc etc. ..lol .. oh to be young again )
You are doing just fine - greetings from a rainy sunday in Denmark (even d that there was ice on the car windows this morning - I do believe that spring is here. cheers
Ingen regn eller frost i 3630,😀
@@dvpa1 godt at se der er andre danskere der ser "med"
@@dvpa1 jeg er btw i 4262 😃
All the best from Croatia, EU.
I believe the word "amazing" has been used in most of the comments so far, but it is truly AMAZING what you have accomplished on the container conversion project thus far. Keep up the great work.
Courtney is a really good find.
Oh wow, a video from 1 hour ago. I'm watching mostly videos posted 1 to 3 years ago.
I'm glad I'm on something new....lol
Nice job! So nice for Oliver and family to have grandma around! Be safe!
You Two are pretty amazing! I commend you on both your creative projects but also how well you do them... Keep up the good work. Enjoy Ken
Hi there
When you are using a tarp to cover something like your project, I found that a goo way to hold the tarp in place is to use gallon milk jugs filled with water or sand if you need more weight. You can get the milk jugs in a hurry at your recycling center. I use poly pull string like sparkies use to hang the jugs at the grommets. Old pieces of carpet can be put on the corners and held in place with Gorilla duct tape. That will make sure they stay in place and you don't ruin a tarp. This also works well on brush piles. If you use your old and damaged tarps you can keep the bulk of the rain off the piles so they will light and burn easily.
New subscriber here… I somehow was brought to your channel through another one about a self-sufficient couple (Can’t Contain Us). I enjoy seeing couples who work together to realize their dreams and build their own life… together. You guys rock. I watch a few other couples as well (Wild Wonderful Off Grid and Life Uncontained). So pleased to see so many of you on TH-cam! Cheers!
Love and joy of precision work contained. High quality standards are a mindset, a way of being in the world.
Love the video and your project too ,Tiny Home .
Great work for your mom!!! I need those welding corner jigs! Those are definitely well thought out
GOOD JOB U2!
I have a Miller 210, no electronics just a basic welder that I bought 15 years ago it’s worked great
I think it needs more windows. And bigger ones!
Do it! More windows! Let no container there, just windows!

I'm left-handed too, Courtney, so you're not alone! Rest your back now, girl!
When thinking about something to do causes tension, it is a conditioned reflex. Daily yoga practice conditions the relaxation response to stressors and the preconscious apprehension of a stressful event.
Very well thought out as usual! Keep up the great work.
It is looking great. I love your color choice.
Great plan, get mum out of the house and in the woods! It's a great build. You guys make awesome videos. When using your caulk gun, push into joint, don't pull. Try it, works a dream!
Courts Brother is CUTE!
Super cool build 😎
That CAD (cardboard articulated drawing) template , worked great for getting straight lines on the corrugated metal.
*- Doubled over sponges make good padding to prevent metal corners from punching through tarps.*
I think the reason you had to keep trimming to get the frame to fit was cause you took alot of the structure out and it sagged. Probably could have used the skid steer to take the weight off.
Gloves with acetone
I like the smoke rings the army truck blew as it cold-started.
Yep, next project, ATWC. All terrain welding cart. Or add fork pockets so you can welder with skid steer.
Wow. Fantastic progress. Love it all.
Whenever you’re caulking with latex caulk always have a wet sponge with a bucket of water handy that’s used to clean your caulking figure. You can also gently use the sponge to wipe down your entire project.
I love how its going, you are doing a great job and Courtney's Moms reaction was priceless x
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
You guys are really doing an awesome job! Do you need an adopted father-in-law? I would love one of those tiny houses! Always a joy to see baby Oliver, he is growing up so fast and getting cuter as he grows😊
Awesome installed every episode! Riley, you might want to look into a big wheel cutting bottle stand and lose the took box- the Miller looks like a reasonably portable machine.
It's coming together beautifully. Keep up the hard work 💪
Great Job you 2!!
Amazing build! Your Mom was genuinely surprised. You guys are so talented. Everything looks so good. Can’t wait until next week.
