This new project looks exciting! Two requests: Clearly you have a great face and as much fun as it is to look at said face, could you please turn the camera around while filming so we can see more of the project as you walk around and talk about it? (And I know it's challenging to film while working, but I would be as equally interested in watching if you just threw the camera on a tripod and ran a timelapse while you guys are working!)
And, lastly, this project is going up quickly, largely behind the scenes, so perhaps you could do a walk through showing us how some container-specific construction was done? For ex. a closer look at the piers and how the containers/framing posts are tied into them, how the deck framing is attached to roof, more info and video of the particular metal materials being used (angle iron, tube metal, carport framing etc)?
Appreciate your sharing! And great work!
Welcome to Texas! My wife and I just drove through that area today after looking at a potential piece of property near Bandera to build a container home! Absolutely love your channel and the way you explain everything.
I like that you admit your mistakes, I do that and told that I am stupid.
Hahaha we all make mistakes, just some people lie about making them :) it’s how we bounce back that counts
Good example of why architects are essential. 😅 It’s looking awesome guys! I need to come out for a visit soon!
Hiring a glazier for those installs would have saved you tons. I do this type of work daily and definitely understand your struggle here but also see the opportunity for a seamless install for you if done right. Confirmed dimensioning on both ends is critical especially when dealing with a material that needs to expand and contract next to a material that will break if pressure is applied. This is why I love glass. Looks awesome! Great takeaways.
oh man that sucks, worst we had to do this last build was move a wall in the master bath. at least it was fixable for you. with our windows we frame them with 1x4 steel then the window company comes and measures them selves, then its all on them haha.
Can you do a vid on the flooring and how to run plumbing and services through/around the container structure
So sorry for your trouble, yet thank you for pointing out what can happen on a build. Appreciate you!
Looking good. I like the dents. Gives it character
Even with a thousand bucks mistake, you still spread great vibes! 💪
Been researching container homes for years and at the point of looking for land in Bandera. Haven’t watched your channel in awhile. Pleasantly surprised to find you are here now.
Super rad build this is and will be when complete ! Wow . Sooo cool 😎 hey sunglasses emoji is of you I just realized !
Great info and great host.. ur far better than most of the big tv folks..keep up the informative and honest vids.. thank you
Use Milwaukie 14 TPI 9 inch torch Saw blade for cutting metal which is the best. You can get the blades at Home Depot.
To keep this from happening I gave the fabricators one of my windows so they could pre fit the metal frames before cutting out and welding them into the container.
Tradies moto "The impossible takes a little longer"!
you did a very good job keep up the good work
Hey what is the appreciation on shipping container homes?? How do they appreciate or depreciate over time? Please make a video on this topic.
Dang. Yeah those dents would really bug. Would have definitely got new containers to go with all those nice windows and doors.
Looks good
I have watched a lot of these shipping container builds and even though they are great builds, I personally do not understand why people would even bother with shipping containers once the cost goes above a certain financial limit e.g say $35,000.
I would have thought that people considering shipping containers homes where doing so as it is perceived as a low cost option, otherwise it is likely to be cost equivalent or even cheaper to go for a traditional build.
As it appears to be more expensive to work with and/or around the constraints of shipping containers than it would be to build a normal metal framed construction.
Almost sounds like you should order the frames/windows before cutting anything, so that you can then cut to what actually shows up?
Crazy stuff. Nice build. 👍
Wew you pulled it through slick good job & the build is looking great keep up the good work!
I was curious if on a 45', 48' or 53' containers, if you could cut out the side wall between the 3"(?), posts, and not have to reinforce with any additional framework? The area between the posts where the upper container would sit if you were stacking them. Thinking of ways to reduce costs in extra metal. Just use the metal frame work for the window.
Another thought, remove the ceiling of those containers that have the double stacking posts, 45' 48" & 53', frame in an 8' wall with ceiling, mount high impact glass as a ceiling, then using tubes with reflecting mirrors positioned in the space where the glass is at as a ceiling and run these tubes to other rooms, using the mirrors to direct sunlight into those rooms?
Just a way to reduce cutting into the side walls, then having to reinforce with extra metal for windows and for structural purposes.
If you need a diagram, I could draw something up and post it on IG or email it to you?

Thanks for sharing Aloha
Isn’t that the truth.. I use to tell people I was an adult baby sitter for a living :)
HELLO! LOVE THE VIDEOS. GIVES ME A MUCH BETTER PERSPECTIVE ON CONTAINER HOMES AND PRICING ESPECIALLY! HAVE YOU HAD ANY REQUESTS ON BUILDING A BAR WITH CONTAINERS?
The repetition of mistakes that whom ever made was really what the video was about and the exaggerated THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS 😆😑 is what did it for me…. Poor fella that was left in charge…..
What part of Florida are you in and where is the shipping container that your building
Do you have the plans for this building? I am looking to build a very similar setup except 2 story. Your help is much appreciated!
I guess storefront windows are cheaper than buying from a window manufacturer such as Jeld-Wen etc? or do you not get the floor to ceiling look going that way?
It’s actually really expensive to get residential windows with this look, I also wanted the really heavy duty look and feel
@@ContainingLuxury thanks for replying. are they as energy efficient as residential windows?
Misake? Whats a misake? Somebody needs to proofread their thumbnails 😂
I live in Tampa. Can you recommend a good Container home builder? Thanks.
Any idea why alot of these container homes are using full height windows? Seems like a terrible idea on the storm front as well as burglar front, however I get the style reason.
Learn to work with standard size windows and doors, no mods required
Is is best to calculate my window dimensions and cut out, or to build the frame for my window and cut out exactly what I need?
Depends on if you are custom ordering your windows or using off the shelf windows. If they are custom like ours we can build the frames to any size and then order the exact window. If you are trying to use the less expensive off the shelf then you will need to construct the frames to the sizes you find available that will work for your build
Containing Luxury thank you for the information, using off the shelf windows and your guide to build the frames for them
So knocked off 6 weeks for a 2 day setback.. Not bad if you ask me :)
If after you add flooring won't that take care of the bottom height of the opening?
It was the opposite, the flooring was in and it made the opening 3” shorter than we needed for the door
What state can u build them in?
What's the name of the manufacturer/company for the windows?
I am mot sure about that one, my friend who does glass ordered them all for me, but I will find out!
@@ContainingLuxury ever find out the manufacturer?
Are you builds structurally engineered to be able to be lifted / moved again?
Yup! That’s why we run the openings from the bottom to the top so we can weld the 2x4 to the top frame and bottom
@@ContainingLuxury nice ! Great looking builds 👍
I guess the glass window is garbage because its from Miami your words no not mine.
I have a 3D rendering of the home I'm going to build. I'm wondering if I can get input from some of you experienced "Container Home" builders. If this sounds like you, message me here! Thanks!
we always buy our windows and doors first, then cut the holes so that they fit. ...just sayin..
Have you thought about using decommissioned refrigerated containers? Check out costaricatinyhomes.com
Don’t waste time going over and over your excuses. Just own it and move on.
Bro,, pls be direct on ur videos,, u talked for 15 min that the windows and doors were made wrong size...
Hello can you email me I'm actually working on a project you might be interested in helping me with.
