👏👏👏….was wondering if it had all come to a stop…..great to see that it’s actually completed….will look forward to the 2nd instalment 👍👍
Hi! 👍👍❤️ That is nice! Yeah next video will be ready for upload in 2 weeks. Including many inside and outside pictures of the finshed "product". Thanks for your support!
Increíble trabajo, veo que tiene aislamiento térmico para soportar climas extremos.. gracias por compartir.
This is the only build I have seen where they were smart and insulated the floor 1st. It will be so much more comfortable in extreme temps outside.
You are absolutely right. 👍 It is very comfortable. We had temperatures around freezing / 0°c, and inside, without heating, it stayed 16°c. At night that is perfect for sleeping.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! ❤️👍
Oh my god! The idea of using foam for the Outbound windows is genius! I was building very heavy wooden frames. I like this a lot!
Oh, Wow, these comments are very nice to get. Thanks! I searched, but did not find it, do you have a TH-cam channel as well?
The build looks like it will be absolutely stunning!! Can't wait to see part 2.
Thank you! ❤️❤️ Kind reactions like these always make me smile. Makes my day, hope your day will be amazing! 👍💥
Erg gaaf gedaan. Veel veilig km gewenst. You are a hell of a craftsman..
Dank je wel! ❤️👍 Geeft een heel goed gevoel!
Bravo
Thank you!
Looking very good. I must say, I love your detail in making sure it's well insulated. See you in two weeks for the next stage.
❤️ Comments like these help me to continue. Thank you!
A bare container is terrible in regards to insulation. And I wanted it to be OK for living between -10 and +30. And now it does, without airco, but with heating 👍.
See you in two weeks!
I’m excited to see where you take this… I love the foundation and infrastructure!!!
Thank you! ❤️ In one week you can see the final "product". Hope to see you then! 👍
Love this build, and look forward to the finish article. The way the world is at the moment, this is perfect to just get away from it all. This is what my aim has been for a few years now, and i watch a lot of builds. So keep up the great work and safe travels, 👍 from the uk.
Yeah, you are right, it is a nice house without mortgage or rent! Quite a few have said it before, but to be honest we did not make it to "get away". For us this is just a new phase in our lives, looking for something more, something else then just working 9 to 5 and paying +50% of our income to rent/mortgage. Now we have less income, but we also need less. But we get so much in return.
Thanks for your kind comment ❤️👍, and we hope to see you with the next video!
You are a hell of a craftsman.
Thank you but I feel that is way too much honor. Or it is ment being sarcastic, in that case 😄.
Thanks for making me smile! 👍😄
No sarcasm, honestly a really nice job.
Second time you made me smile. You are on fire! 😄💥 Thanks!
Great job, looking forward to the next instalment
❤️ thanks for your continued support! 👍 Next video will be live in 2 weeks.
Che bello giallo , mi piace un sacco come è dentro...non vedo l'ora di vederlo finito...veramente bravo !
Thank you very much! I had to translate using Google Translate, but your compliment makes my day, especially that you like the yellow! 👍😄
In 1 week we will finish the container and we will show the inside as well. Hope to see you then!
👍❤️
Tip, rather than using expensive props to hold timber to the ceiling while the glue drys, just use a long piece of timber on an angle. Knock it in place with a hammer and it will act like a wedge between the floor and the piece you're gluing to the ceiling.
Thanks for the advice! It seems to me like you are an experienced builder 😄👍.
Good video Marco. Looking forward to part two to see what happen after Tanks and Windows.
Thank you very much for your support! Indeed you are right, this video is more of a quick recap of what has been shown already. Especially for the early viewers. But next video will surely not disappoint in that perspective. Hope you will let me know! ❤️👍
Awesome and outstanding.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Love comments like yours! ❤️👍 It motivates. Thank you very much!
What a great idea it needs more windows, but well done.
Thank you, that is great support! And you are right, more windows (or bigger) would have been nice.
I made this choice based on costs. Doors and windows now cost over €10k, which was quite a lot for me. And over 10% of total costs. 🚚💰💰
In hindsight, 1 window more, would be better.....
Great to see you back 👍😊
Thank you! ❤️ Building and creating videos proved to be a step to far, but I am happy I can now share these 2 video's (1 now and the second in 2 weeks). Feels nice to be back into it.
It looks like Rotterdam too me. 🥰 (Born in Delfshaven)
Spot on! 💚🤍💚 Rotterdam forever 👍😄
So far it's looking fantastic, I already want to see the finished product, congratulations, greetings from Colombia
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you Colombia! 😄 So amazing to have viewers from all over the world! Next week we will show the finished product and after that we will do a couple of in depth room-tours for people who want to know more about a certain topic. 👍
A mop and a broom would do wonders
You sound like my wife 😄😄👍 Thanks!
what a sick projekt !! Love it !Best Regards from Sweden
Thank you!! Super nice reaction! ❤️🔥
Everytime I see a shipping container build I wonder what its really like in the coldest and hottest months to live in with all that steel conducting the temperature into the space? Would like an update about it once you move in for a while. I built something very similar and been living in it 4 years now and will never go back to a regular house, you won't regret it. Even if your heating a cooling bills are off the charts :) You went to a lot of effort to put a deck on the roof, are you not putting solar up there?
You will not believe how comfortable it is inside the container! With the sun blasting it stays nice in there until around 16.00 hour. After that it is the same temperature as outside. But I understand your wonder, without isolation it would have been unbearable inside.
And the roof also functions as an umbrella. Architects tell me that thats the best way to keep it cool inside.
There will be solar panels, but I have a trick up my sleeve. But that is a story for next time 🫣😄👍👋
Thanks for you comment and support! ❤️
Awesome just awesome 👌just subscribed to keep up with your progress 😀
Welcome a board! 👊 Hope we will not disappoint. Thanks for a comment that made me smile! ❤️❤️👍
Can't wait to see the end of your build ! :)
Thank you! It should be live in 9 days. Hope to see you then 👍🍻
You are a small channel yet you do what you love and document it probably without any revenue. Thank you for showing your way and your progress!
Yeah, you are right, small, but loving it! Trying to get better every time. This video is doing quite good actually. At least compared to before. That and your comments are great incentive! Thanks!
Watched your build and story all the way through, it does look ace even though you had problems along the way, enjoy life and look forward to your future and more recent travels….Robbo 👍
Everyone, Robbo makes really nice videos. They get better and better. Have a look at his channel!
Thanks Robbo, you support is amazing as always ❤️❤️👍
I really like your channel, you have done amazing job all alone. I know that you are traveling already so looking forward to see the next videos!
🥳👍 Thanks for you kind support! We are travelling indeed and plan to make some nice videos on that topic. Hope you will like those videos as well. Is there a specific topic you would like to see?
Love ❤
👍❤️
Your very skilled.looking amazing
That is too much credit for my skills, but thank you very much!
I had no experience when I started this build... 🫣👍 Learned a lot in the proces of building a container house on wheels.
That is amazing looking there now
Thanks for both comments! Really appreciate all that support. 👍❤️
Very good 👍 dear nice work skills 👍👍👍
Thank you!! 👍❤️
That is an amazing build 👏👏👏👏. Loved this video
Thank you very much! Messages like these help me continue! ❤️❤️ Hope you will have a wonderful day!
Will there be a roomtour? It's allways interesting to see how people live in their home on wheels.
There certainly will be. Thanks for asking, just hang on and you will not be disappointed.❤️👍
What a good start! Have already seen the end result at Col de Guéry France last summer. The yellow box stands out realy well. Hope that you succeed in all yr plans in the near future. Good luck and see you in the Pyrenees someday.
🔴⚪🔴⚪🔴⚪ polkadotman!
Hope to share some stories soon. Next Tour de France we will be at Etang de Lers. Perhaps something to keep in mind. 👍
Do you have some type of air filtration set up? As airtight as it looks you need clean air in it. There will be alot of humidity in the air from your breath,getting into the walls and woodwork. I guess you could leave a window cracked open or maybe the skylight. Also a container would make a great cooler and freezer. The survivalists would love this.
Wow, those are quite a few great comment and questions packed in a "short" text. Amazing, love it, thanks!
There is no air filtration, we open windows, we have a CO2 sensor (never rang) and our heater uses the "moist" inside air and transports it outside. Also a home-weather station, which measures humidity, always a smiley face there, so it should all be fine.
You are the second to comment on humidity and clean air. So there should be a link, a reason or deeper thought behind it. Do you know what it is?
And yeah, I have talked to a couple of "preppers" who were very interested indeed.
Thanks for your message and apologies for the long reply 🫣👍❤️
Good start
Thank you! Always nice to get a comment like that! ❤️👍
What do you mean by Relax. It was awesomely brilliant and enlivening.😂
Haha, that is funny!! Never expected that to happen. On the other hand, all these viewers and subscribers, that is quite awesome and brilliant on this side as well 🫣👍🍻
Thanks for the fun comment and support 😄
Fantastic!
❤️ thanks!
Nice work!
Thank you! ❤️
Wat een werk, erg knap gedaan.
Dank je wel!! ❤️ Superlief!
Nice to see a robust and practical R.V. that should last for a very long while compared to all those plastic fantastic, leaky builds you get from a dealer. I doubt the bad on this unit will bend and warp like so many R,V's do these days ha ha ha Like n sub.
That is such a great comment! Makes my day, thanks! And you are right, the container has a build-in subframe, very strong. Thanks for your support! 👍❤️
Nice work. Good video 😊
Thanks for taking the time and writing a comment! Appreciate it! 👍👍
Nice, what would make it even more awesome would be if there was an entry from inside the truck cabin, so no need to get out. Probably would be a headache to do though.
Thank you, like the comment a lot. ❤️❤️ And that is because I have had "headache" enough for thinking whether I wanted a "pass-through" or not. I still can have one, the design is ready for it. But I cannot decide on this one.
What I have learned is that the pass-through has to be really easy to use. Otherwise people do not use it.
For now it is no issue, we do not feel like we miss it... 👍🫣
Anyway thanks for your thoughts and support! Hope to see you later! ❤️
Awesome work my friend. You are FAST!!! Sweet! Soooo, if I bring you my 40' container on a Saturday morning around 7 am, I could pick it up by noon? LMAO
Cheers
Loved it, made me smile bigtime! ❤️ Thanks! Are you really doing a 40ft container? Would love to see that!
@@uglysjourney I want to, but not on wheels. I think what you did (20') is the Apex of a less expensive overlander. Again, Kudos!
So funny that you say that! I am thinking of doing a video where I "compare" my build to the Earthroamer video by Kara & Nate. 🫣😄 Could be fun!
@@uglysjourney Do it!! It will be amazing to show what a good diy project can produce!! I'll be watching my friend. Cheers
good job.
Thank you!
Erg gaaf gedaan. Veel veilig km gewenst👊🏻
Hartstikke bedankt!! 👍
Wow, first time I've seen a shipping container build on the back of a truck. Makes perfect sense!!! I am curious as to how you're going to run all your electrical wiring though, so that will be a nice surprise. :D
Thank you for your nice and smart comment! 👍❤️ Next video will surely show how I did the wiring. So I will keep that a "surprise" for next time 🫣😉.
And i guess your comment is linked to the fact that I did not use the walls to run the electrics. And indeed that has been commented by many more. But I think I found a "smart" solution for it. 🤫 I have a second floor.....
It’s an OCD thing, but it annoys Me when two lots of Tongue and Groove Boards (as in Wall Panelling around the Bed) don’t align.
Such a simple thing speaks to Bespoke, but misses the point so annoyingly.
Other than that, Excellent Job.
Looking forward to continuation.
Edit:
Didn’t realise it was a complete build series until after viewing this video, commenting and subscribing, hence this Edit.
By the way, My OCD loves the Yellow.
🫣😄 I fully understand what you are saying. It does not sit well with my OCD as well 👍. I put some finishing in the corner, than it does not look that bad, but still.... 🫣.
Thanks for your friendly comment! Love getting them, it motivates. 🍻
well done, very nice work. here is my question: what is the weight of your container after arrangement?
Hello Yves, thanks for your kind comment and question! 😄
The container will be around 5.000kg, completely filled, incl 600 lit. water.
Are you planning to build something yourself?
👍❤️
Great video! Maybe a stupid question, but how is the container fixed to the chassis? Would it glide to the front and crushing the cabine when there is a front facing accident?
Hi Bram, good question on security, thanks! The container is fixed using twist-locks. These are designed to hold the container in place and be manually operated (twisted). Second the sub-chassis "curves" up and sits as well between the cab and the container, effectively "protecting" the driver. 🚚 This last system is not used in all container trucks, I have heard of a couple of deaths in the way you describe it.
It "always" happens like this: it is busy, but not overly so. Suddenly a traffic jam starts. There is a heavy truck in front. The fatal accident truck stops relatively close to the truck in front. And behind a heavy truck in full speed hits the fatal accident truck. Driver has no chance, sandwiched between his container and the truck in front.
So yeah, good point and thanks for the compliment. Does this help you?
❤️👍
good job
Thank you!
👍👍👍😎
🍻🥳
Knap stukje werk hoor, en het eindresultaat mag er zeker zijn. Wij vertrekken morgen weer naar Spanje. Tot ziens 😎👍
Mazzelaars, lekker hoor, geniet ervan! Is alles in NL goed verlopen?
sweet!
Thank you! 👊❤️
10 coffees and I could move like that.
😄😄 would love to see that 👍❤️
Nice, have few questions.
1. Is there housing shortage in Germany?
2. Wont this container house give you a claustrophobic feeling?
3. Do you have to pay municipal taxes for such mobile house?
4. Can an untrained/non engineer person do all these activities?
Apartly I like the device to apply adhesive/gum. It is easy to use.
Hi! Thanks for the questions!
1. We are from the Netherlands and there is a big housing shortage there. In Germany I do not know.
2. No claustrofobic feelings for us, but perhaps for some it might.
3. No taxes, just roadtax.
4. I am untrained and have little to none building experience, so I would say yes😄👍. Just takes a long time.
Thanks for your support! 👊
@@uglysjourney looking at the name on the side wall panels, I thought you are from Germany. That made me to think you were a German. Sorry.
How's the condensation? Boards that are in direct contact with the metal will get wet and grow mold.
Hi Vladd, thanks for your concern! 👍😄 I think you are talking about a cold-bridge. When the difference between inside and outside temperatures is very large. I.e. Inside +20°c, outside -10°c. Then water will form on the inside. Like a cold can of coke in summer.
To prevent a cold-bridge the insulation needs to be thick or good enough. My insulation is good enough for temperatures around -10°c.
So there is no issue with condensation yet. Except 1 point and that is the handle of the Outbound door. That gets extremely wet, it has a cold-bridge (poor design by them).
Hope this helps! Please let me know?
❤️👍
What a pity you didn't line the bedroom cladding lines up, it would have looked so much better, however its so nice to see you back publishing videos again
❤️ thanks for your support! Yeah you are right about the cladding alignment! It did not sit right with my "ocd" as well. In next vid, if all goes right, you will see the cover in the corners.... It helps a small bit 🫣
@@uglysjourney look forward to seeing it
Interesting approach, i am wondering why you made a tounge and groove box inside, but no plumbing or electrical in the walls? Normally in a house you lay down under floor heating, hvac, plumbing, electrical and ventilation. Then clad, as this is a sealed system now and sleeping in it your CO2 levels are going to be an issue, sure you can open a window, ok if its 15-20°C but a missed opportunity given a shipping container is robust enough for being submerged at sea.
Hi thanks for your opinion and comment! To answer your question I could ask you to watch next weeks video, but will not do that. I will use a raised floor and internal walls to route everything. First this helps with accessibility (not so experienced, so can correct mistakes), but also enables me to build without an exact plan/lay-out. And second I wanted to have the insulation 100% intact.
All in all quite happy with the results!
The CO2 comment I do not understand. Can you explain/elaborate a bit? How is this container different than a room in a house for instance. Like to hear what you say, so please let me know!
Cheers for the support and comments!! 👍👍🍻
Your own home has ventilation as part of its construction to reduce mold, damp and remain habitable, hopefully your house is not 6x2.5sqm A container is a steel box designed for cargo at sea and you are having 4 or 5 people inside a sealed box. Great for insulation, but a bit like breathing into a paper bag you raise the Carbon dioxide levels above what is normal.
When you keep everything shut yes, then you are right. But why would we keep everything shut?
Even in cold temperatures we have windows open, works very well. And added to that we have a heating system that uses the "damp" inside air and blows that out of the box.
All in all we are very happy and so is our temperature/home-weather-station, monitors inside humidity as well, always well within normal.
Hope this helps and if not, then lets agree to disagree. Have a good day! 👍❤️
this is an awesome build, never imagined a shipping container...quick question, wont it add weight to the truck?
👍 Thanks, comments/questions like these help me continue making videos. Quick answer, yes the container weight is 2 tonnes.
A bit longer answer: my truck can have a total of 12 tonnes. 7 for the truck, that leaves 5 for the build. The build is 5 tonnes, fully loaded (600lit water i.e.). So that is OK. To be honest I expected it to be a bit less..... 🫣.
Then to compare with a different box build. Usually they start with a hefty subframe (in my case the subframe is the container). Walls are aluminium or some sort, lighter, but still inside they, usually, need steel framing for support. So it should not be a massive difference.
Hope this helps, please let me know if it did? Or ask another question if you like!
Cheers for leaving a comment 🍻
@@uglysjourney nah u have made my day friend, never thought of a sipping container lol...cant wait for more build videos...holla from Jhb South Africa.
👍 Cheers from the Netherlands!
@@uglysjourney It looks like the shipping container was already custom to what you wanted. Did you order it this way, or did you have to modify that as well before putting it onto the truck?
@Deathscythe_3 thanks for the question and you seem to have a keen eye. Indeed, I bought the container adjusted (window and door openings) and painted. I did not feel comfortable yet with welding and steel works. Are you considering your own build?
How much heavier do you think this approach is compared to common alternatives?
Thanks for your question! I think I understand why you would ask it.
Before I answer I need to say this, I am from Europe and use Kilogram in my answers.
The truck can carry 12 tonnes (kg). It is 12 tonnes. A conventional plastic sandwich panel EU camper weighs around 3 tonnes. A true overlanding truck will be about the same if not heavier. The thing is that I have used a relatively small truck for the weight, I would like to have a bigger/stronger truck.
Hope this helps, if not please feel free to let me know. Thanks! 👍👋
Container house is hot, u need AC on during the summer plus go solar.
You are right, without insulation a container is terrible inside! With insulation and with the "umbrella" roof it is actually very nice inside 👍👍. Just natural ventilation, no AC needed.
And for sure there will be solar, +1000 watts. Have a special idea for that, have a look in next video! Hope to see you then.
Thanks for the question and support! 👍❤️
ziet er echt gaaf uit. ik kijk uit voor het volgende episode. ik heb ook al geabonneerd. Success met bouwen en groeten uit Duitsland (vlak bij de grens) _ LG LillyBlond

@@uglysjourney graag gedaan
Nice job.
How about total weight?
and cost $$$?
Thanks
Thanks for the question!
Total weight, fully loaden is 12.000kg. And to build we spend less than €100.000, including the truck.
No worries, like question a lot!
👍👍❤️
Just glue the foam sheets on the sea container then the wood the foam has the compressive strength on the floor it does not compress between the timber it just needs support at the entrance. Same with the walls and ceiling use glue not spray foam they glue aircraft together. Better insulation, cheaper, quicker. Same with the walls and ceiling It is how SIPs structural insulated panels are made and they work well. No need to make little individual ones with poor insulating expensive wood between each small one. Or save the work and just use SIPs it is the same price as the sea container for new panels their are joiners designed for 90 degrees and corners the panels are custom made with no cutting needed. I convert buses so am stuck with the wall and ceiling frame but just add foam and ply to the floor with a strip of timber at the front step thats all, thicker flooring can be used if needed with all the money saved and cupboards attached to it. I use a bus as they are mobile with a cheap permit and stealth if you leave the outside stock none of that applies to a sea contained with holes for windows.
Many thanks for you very elaborate explanation. I understand you refer to "sandwich panels", right? Is a proven concept ofcourse. My issue with that approach was the difficulty of attaching anything to the foam sheets. How would I hang the wood wall cladding?
Hope you have some time for a reaction. In any way thanks for support! ❤️👍
Met verbazing zitten kijken. Hoe kùn je dit allemaal. Te gek. Ook: ik woonde in dezelfde toren ruim twee decennia geleden. Geabonneerd!
Wat leuk!! Dank je wel voor het lieve berichtje en de support! 👍❤️
what would be the advantage(s) of using a container?
Thanks for your question! For me the benefits of a shipping container: 1. That it is "plug & play" on the truck. 2. That it is strong, easy to build in and on it. 3. I can take it of, it can be a tiny house or placed on another truck.
hehe, ok, now picture... building the "home" but keeping it within the diameter of the container... with container walls over the windows that can be retracted, container roof over the roof that can be opened to form awnings over either side. Built on a 40' shipping container... thats still... a shipping container.. So. you button it down... and have it... shipped... to your camp site, rail shiped, boat shipped, truck shipped... you just pay the shipping cost and insurance... drive to the camp site, and meet it there.
😄 Haha, that would be amazing right! Love how you think and take us on the thought-journey 👍.
@@uglysjourney Its a shipping container, its designed to be shipped :). Rather then driving from say, New york to florida, ship it there, then fly to florida and got to the property. Just "rent" places and stay there for weeks on end.
Heck, might even be able to load it on a train and... use IT as a private train car for cross country trips. then have it unloaded at the destination.
Now here is the key thing... yes you are "paying" to have it shipped from point to point... BUT... you are not driving it. it is "cargo" so if it, objects in it, are damaged, its covered as cargo insurance.
Theres no wear and tear on "your vehicle" you could even for example dedicate 8-10' of a 40' container for "vehicle storage garage"... and have a vehicle dedicated to travel with it. or vehicles... ebikes, mopeds, scooters, small cars. Smart cars only 8.8 feet.
❤❤❤
Thank you! 👍❤️
When are you guys gonna start your trip?
We have already started. 🥳👍 It is amazing!
Can I ask why you would like to know?
I liked your Timelapse and did not find any other videos beyond the raw build
@chrini1 Ahh, I understand! Coming Friday will be the last part of the container build. Hope to see you then! ❤️👍
👍
Thanks!
Impianto elettrico e idraulico dopo?😮😮😮
Hi Andrea! Yeah will be elecrics and plumbing on top of the insulation. A bit strange perhaps, but it is not a house, so it certainly makes sense when you see it 👍😉
Wouldn't you do electrical before insulation?
😉 normal people would but I am not normal 😉
I made this choice to be able to easily retrofit/change/hunt for errors. No previous experience so I thought this would be best.
Cheers and thanks for your comment!! 👍🥂
@@uglysjourney my father was a custom home builder so I look at details😉 Have a blessed day☺️
You are very kind! Thank you. And I hope your day will be wonderfull! ❤️
How much is the total weight please?
The total weight is 12.000kg, this is fully loaded, incl 600 liter water.
Can I ask why you would like to know?
Cheers and enjoy your weekend! ❤️👍
@@uglysjourney Thank you- same to you!
Civil war tank
Strong! 😉
everything was good until you used OSB panels for the floor. that garbage has no place in a structure where moisture may be a problem.
Thanks for adding your concern and experience! And you are right, moisture is a big "enemy". 💦😭
For that reason I used "waterproof" OSB (it can cope with a bit of water) and I have drainage below. So with this I expect the water, if any, would not cause an issue.
Also you can see I did not seal the insulation layer below the OSB. This will also help to "minimize" water exposure.
Would you agree with what I say, or is it still a concern for you?
Thanks for letting me know! 👍❤️
It’s cool and all but why travel with that heavy container? You’re better off building something lighter. But cool to watch..
Yeah I get what you say. I had a look at lighter options first, but that had long lead times (during Covid), was expensive and it did need a subframe (also heavy).
So I made the choice for something super strong, flexible and "cheap".
In the end, for me, it al has its pro's and con's. 👍
Thanks for your comment and support. Hope to hear from you again! ❤️👍🍻
And I think perhaps the container can also be put down, and the truck can be used for other jobs..just may be
@chaliceotiyo7313 Hi, thanks for the comment!! You are right, we can take it off! When we find a nice piece of land or when we change vehicles... So good thinking and thanks for the comment! 👍❤️
Very heavy.
The total container build, incl truck, is 12 tonnes total. But do mean something specific?
The finish would have been good
I understand. Next week it will be there. 👍❤️🫣
I feel bad for the truck.... Too heavy.
Hi Samuel, thanks! Yep it is heavy. 12.000 kg fully loaden. But the truck has a max capacity of 12.000 kg. So that should be OK.
I would like to have a stronger vehicle, with a more powerful engine though. Is that what you mean?
Cheers for letting me know! 👍
@@uglysjourneywhat' about the extra weight from materials and others, don't you count em
Everything is included in the 12.000 kg. Also the 600 liter fresh water.
Why are you working in the living room
Because I needed the space. I am building this container house on the street, so no shop or shed available.... 🫣👍
only 10 tons
Not sure what you mean. Could you explain?
It is a 12 tonnes max truck. The container weighs 2 tonnes. Truck itself is 7 tonnes. Leaving 3 tonnes for the build.
I am just within that limit incl water and other cargo.
🍻
Too heavy
Not really. But perhaps you can explain yourself a bit?
It's on wheels. It is a Tiny House. Shed conversions are not.
Thank you, but I do not seem to understand what you say. 👍
@@uglysjourney "Tiny house i"s a trending topic on TH-cam. For permit and tax purposes they need to be on wheels .Many creators will use this topic for buildings smaller than 1100 sq ft to get the Algorithm boost for using a trending topic.

You are right! 👍 You can see the finished product in a week. Watch for video 2 of 2 👍.
@@uglysjourney Thank you for the nice answer and have a enjoyable drive with your caravan,
greetings from Eskisehir/Turkiye
The music completely ruined this great video. We want to hear the sound of your work.
Thanks for your feedback! I have to say that I was planning to do just that. But I am doing the build outside, next to an airfield, a railroad and a metro line. Therefore I made the choice for music, sorry that it did not suit you.
What I like about you comment is that it is that you tell what you would like to see. So thanks for the feedback, I might surprise you in the (further) future 👍
Yeah we need better music
Would you be able to help me?
Could you help me with which music I could use that is free to use on TH-cam?
Or point me in the direction of a song that would fit your taste?
Thanks in advance! 🍻👍
@@uglysjourney I would check other popular channels that make the same content as you.
Just watch the video and shut up I didn’t even notice the music until you said something actually it’s kind of relaxing
What on earth was that terrible music played for. Could watch the video, just got on my nerves.
Thanks for you honest comment. Sorry to hear you did not like the music. I added music since I build outside, near an airport, a metro line, a railroad and a busy (loud music) building site. I can assure you, just the sounds from the video in high speed was terrible!
But perhaps it is the type of music. Which music would you prefer in that case?
Cheers 👍🍻
Mute is a thing
Playing elevator muzak-grade music is NOT relaxing
Not all people are alike. But you could be onto something. Can you share which music (or just no music) you would like?
Крутой дом!!!👍🔥
Thank you very much!! It is indeed a very cool house! We love living in it. ❤️👍
Waarom in het engels??
Wat kost zo.n 20 ft container eigenlijk?
Waarom niet in het Engels?
De prijzen van zeecontainers verschillen enorm. Afhankelijk van vraag en staat van de container. De mijne heb ik gekocht zoals die op de vrachtwagen ging (in het filmpje), dat was €10.000. Midden in coronatijd, misschien wel het hoogste prijspeil ooit.
👍
Thank you! ❤️
