First CUT Into Our New Shipping Container!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ย. 2022
- There’s no going back after making the first cut in the shipping container! This part of any project is always the most nerve-wracking but also the most exciting. With each milestone, we’re getting closer and closer to turning these three shipping containers into the perfect container home for our family.
Lou has learned so many different skills over the past few years from electrical wiring to plumbing to carpentry, but welding is a whole new arena! Luckily for me, he’s really good at picking up new things and he hit the ground running installing this 200-pound door.
By the way, what do you think of our choice of a steel door? I think it makes the container look like a human-sized safe! We might do a glass door in the kitchen container to let more light in, but Lou thought it would be a nice feeling to fall asleep knowing that our container was secure. We plan on putting in pretty thick insulation, so that’s why the door placement is so high off the ground. And the next time things warm up a little, we'll get it all sealed and waterproof! Hopefully, once it’s all done it will be effortless to heat in the winter and stay cooler in the hot summer days.
Thanks so much for joining us on this shipping container build series.
Big hugs,
Dana (Lou, Max & Freja)

Wowzers!! Just think- in a few years new viewers can binge watch and miraculously see a van, boat, beach house, wall tent and now shipping container house come to fruition!! Oh, and a baby ❤️
Never thought about it quite that way, what a really nice thought :) Always working on a new project... Thank you, CrunchyMama!! :)
I found them when they did a video on shooting 35mm film back in Germany and I've been hooked ever since. It one of the video series that my wife and I watch together.
I love how Lou is so chilled and then Dana runs in like "do do do". She brings so much energy and I love it.
Ha that is such an accurate description, giggling so much over here! Thanks, Zakary :)
Freya watching Lou while he works is the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen! Best little construction site supervisor!
Haha, she really is!! 🥰 Always a careful eye :) Hope you are having a wonderful start to your week, Holly!!
Lou I’m always impressed at what you tackle and learn! You as well, Dana. Literally anything and everything! The three of you are truly living a dream life, filled with learning, growing, dreaming, and meaning.
Rebekah!! That is so kind of you to say :) That is what we aspire to do so it really means a lot that it shines through, thanks for saying that :) Hope you are having a wonderful Monday ☺
I cannot believe how perfect Lou got the measurements right for the door on a ripple wall surface. A fantastic job well done especially with metal. Can't wait to see the next step.
Thank you!! We are so excited to share the next ones ❤ Thank you for hanging out with us here on the channel, Kathlene... hope you are having a wonderful Monday :)
I swear, there's really nothing Lou can't do!! 👍
I really am impressed every single day 🥰 Thanks for the kind words, Woof, I will pass it on! Wishing you a wonderful week xx
Looking forward to watching your video right now. It is always a treat, filled with beauty, kindness, calm and a sense of belonging, no matter where you are or what you do. Thank you for sharing these projects in your life. ❤️
Aw, Karla that is so kind of you to write something so special even before you have seen the video!! That is really a big compliment... smiling ear to ear right now :) Thank you for sharing that, it is really motivating ❤ Hope you are having a wonderful Monday! xx
Lou, your work ethic is motivational! Great job!
Perfect timing. Just got my coffee and sat down. Thanks guys.
Me too 😊
Samsies 😉
Aw this whole thread is so cute, love the image of you all having a cup of warm coffee and settling in to watch!! That is so cool and motivating :)
@@Hillside-Hive we actually have the same hairdo 😄
@@WildWeRoam your usual upload time is the perfect sunday afternoon Coffee time 💕
I really enjoy your videos!!
Lou is amazing, he takes on life learning lessons head on. I like in the beginning of video, how he said, he had been procrastinating, which is normal for hard things. But he was amazing and conquered his fear of failing, which is really what it probably came down too. Bravo bravo to Lou!!
Thank you for letting me see this lesson and share with all of us.
Enjoying along with you, all you accomplish. Hugs
Thank you so much, Robin, that really means a lot to read that you liked that part the most :) Obstacles, internal and external, happen with all projects, we just try to gently face them and keep going :) Thank you so much for hanging out with us on the channel and for sharing these kind words xx
Ohh My goodness, those giggles from Max are the best!! my little one is a similar age, and recognizes the giggles.. So cute
The two of you continue to show so much love, respect and support for each other as you negotiate each adventure! It is just beautiful!❤
Thank you so much, Lynn ❤
Ladies and gentlemen you are going to see a real super man and super woman. Yes super baby and super dog.
Really guy's you are so very wonderful I have a son who is 27 and I pray Lord give him this find of drive and work ethics so he can make a beautiful life for himself and his wife.
But again guy's thank you so much for sharing your beautiful family.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all and everyone who reads this have a beautiful beautiful day. 🦃🦃
Hurray! Been up with my kids for a few hours, wishing you all posted earlier so I could watch with my morning coffee 😂 just got back from the park and settled in for this treat!
The two of you make me só happy!! Can you share the recipe of the soup Dana? It looked amazing!
Very cool woodpile by the way. I've never seen wood stacked in an igloo shape before.
you can tell you guys are more of a “Creative” rather than just a youtuber.. that shot driving in framed by the wood and leaves…. BEAUTIFUL!
Aloha from Hawaii. I just subscribed after coming across a couple of your videos. Looks like I am about to embark on a binge watching session. God bless you and your beautiful family (ohana). Happy blessed Thanksgiving
So cool seeing Lou’s skills elevate to a whole new level! Seriously impressive stuff.
Wow, that's amazing and keep it up. Can you cover plastic for firewood before snow gets wet?
Lou you amaze me every time with the build. Before you know it you'll have this container finished. Congrats on getting the door in with no help. Always be careful and safe. See you both + Max next video.
As always, I am so impressed with you!
I love the excitement in Max and his feet when Dad walks up to the tent 4:53.
You should consider getting your pup an orange vest with all of the hunting around your place. Perhaps a bear bell on her collar too.
You need more orange on for you and Frieda if it is hunting season
Yes!
I'm often amazed at how interesting many of your videos are. I sometimes expect to be bored with things that are so far removed from what I feel would be most useful to me -- then somehow, your challenges and projects pique my attention and usually hold it, even during the more mundane moments. Congrats, on great story-telling, I guess?
My only suggestions would be:
a) that you flip the door to open inwards, so that the hinges are on the inside? Might solve the freezing issue as well as allow you to open the door wider.
b) at the open end you could eventually build a slightly recessed full wall with a bay window or nook (and a door beside it) to allow some natural light in as well as make it feel more "homey" -- in front of that you could also add a small deck.
Just my suggestions for what it's worth -- I look forward to seeing what amazing plans you have. Also maybe see what Ladi&Margaret are doing with their shipping container(s) guest house.
Cheers!....from North Vancouver.
Thank you so much, Adrian, we are glad our films resonate with you ❤ And thanks so much for the tips! Those are great to keep in mind and consider!!
Well done God bless you
Really calming and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing. Just one note: Please add that safety half-circle attachment thingy back on to the angle grinder. I know multiple people that had half discs flying near their eyes. :)
Oh that is a great call, thank you so much for spotting that and letting us know!! Hope you are having a nice Monday, Jerry :)
when Dana says "the wall tent" it almost sounds like "The Walten" like y'all are constructing you're own bougie getaway 😅 it's honestly so soothing watching these videos and so mind-blowing to see how much learning and growth comes out of tackling these projects. super aspirational and beautiful content as always!
Haha The Walten I love it, that does make it sound ten times more fancy, ha! And thank you so much for the really sweet words ❤ It is always motivating to read! Hope any creative projects that you may have going on are going great! xx
Great job Lou! Dana you are the sweetest!
Thanks. When you said the wall tent, I thought for a moment you said The Walton, so maybe you could call the wall tent The Walton for a nice title ha ha.
Yay! new video from Dana and Lou! Perfect
In love with the shots you choose and how you film. Really satisfying.
So happy for you guys. Alot of hard work done here!
New to the channel, and looking forward to seeing how you insulate and design your containers. We live in the Upper peninsula of Michigan and weather is much like yours.
Really enjoying the amount of videos we are getting recently!
Impressive with the welding. 👌 Good Luck with the container remodels❗️
Ive been such a fan watching your travels and projects. These videos you guys make are so wholesome to watch! Love the transitions and the content its all just amazing work! Thank you for bringing this to youtube! So excited anytime I see a new one is uploaded!
Sitting here trying to think of what to say 🙂🙂🙂y’all are legends at whatever it is you tackle. Thanks for taking us along 💕💕
Hi from NZ just found you guys and have subscribed 👍 Looking forward to following the build.
Have a Tourniquet on hand and put the guard on the grinder.
A guy down the road from our farm bleed out on his way to the hospital when a grinder blade blew apart and hit him in the thigh.
All the best and stay safe.
Good job on the door Babe!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do more than tack welds if you are in the very cold …..because metal becomes brittle and will break. Also you don’t want air gaps.
I squeal with excitement everytime I see a new video of yours. So amazing watching this come together
Ha reading your comment got me so excited, thank you for sharing that! So glad you get excited about watching our project, Lauretta :)
Love watching all your projects! ☺ But I do wonder - what are your thoughts on insulation?? I have now seen several north american/canadian couples (I'm from Sweden) building or just living pretty far north with little to no insulation in their homes. Whats up with that!?!? Single glass windows with condensation building up, which then freezes. Unisulated tents heated with a wood stove in the middle of the freezing winter (the heat loss is enormous!). In my house we have triple glass windows and 12" thick walls, which is pretty much is the norm here. Can't compare that to a "home made" shipping container home, of course, but it gets me wondering!
I'm so excited to see what happens next!! What are you going to do to fill the gap next to the door?
First try, and it fits like a glove! Awesome job 🤙
Personally I would connect all 3... I would have it in a U shape.. makes sense and that way u can keep a little private garden in the open bit in front for ur baby..
Incredible!
Hello. Is there a drawing of sorts of what you’re house will look like? I’m trying to envision if it will be a connected structure vs 3 individual ones. Thanks for sharing.❤
beautiful holz hausen! also, little Max’s laugh is the most heart warming adorable thing ever 🥰
The way my heart fills up every time I hear it 🥰 And thank you!!
Great job. Looks awesome ❤
I love your positivity!
Nice work!! I am so excited to see what the finished product will look like! I envisioned you building hallways between the containers? Love you guys!❤
Very good well done looking great
I don’t understand why the three containers are so far apart. If the three are going to be one home, I assume they’ll be connected by some kind of covered walkway or something, right? Why not put them closer together?
Thanks for putting out such great videos. You two (four now) are so adventurous in everything! I've been wondering how you plan to connect the containers and why the door is installed with the hinges on the outside? You two do a great job of having interesting content and I love inviting you into my home when you put a new video up. Keep up the good work!
Are you going to connect the containers some how to go from room to room without going outside in cold rainy weather?
Lou U Rock... 😘👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Good job dude
It’s all coming together. 😃 💜🙏❤️ all of you do GREAT WORK! 🤓😉FAMILY COOPERATION, YEAH!!!
How do you like the colder weather while doing all that work? Stay safe & warm.
Are the containers going to connect?
Huzzah! So cool!
wow amazing work! extra karma points doing it in freezing cold ! Must have been hard to find motivation to even start this, but it looks amazing
You've probably already thought of these things... Window(s) later? Skylight? Insulation/pad under rug?
Great work the door looks fabulous.... more work on the door you dont have to slam it.😀😀😀
BUT how did you hang the door?! Trying to accurately align a 200lb steel slab onto hinges is such a challenge!
Great video
In regards to the dog being tied up- she’ll be a shepherd no matter where you go..
scary sometimes I could imagine.
Future request: what i eat in a day tent/shipping container edition!!! Your 'van what I eat in a day' was the first video I ever watched re vegan eating and part of what inspired me to be vegan 2 years now.
I feel like y’all should do an elevated walkway to the next container (where I assume another door will be). And stairs going down off the side of the elevated walkway. So when it’s raining or if that area gets floody or muddy, you don’t get dirty inbetween rooms.
Then ultimately covered which I think is already the plan :)
Really great ideas, thank you, Dagny!!
Are you building walkways or rooms to connect the three shipping containers?
What size steel plates did you use for the door framing?
Why'd you decide to have the containers separate with living there in the winter?
I was going to ask why the door is so high up off the floor but it sounds like you’re putting in a raised floor? Will there be a heating element or something between the container floor and the installed floor? Super impressive accomplishments, as always!
LOUUUUU WHAT CANT YOU DO!?!?
A shipping container in the middle of a forest? Have you thought this through? You are surrounded by WOOD. The vernacular construction material in rural areas in the USA is WOOD. The ecological option is to build from local WOOD. Wood bends and breathes with the climate. Wood is cool in summer and warm in winter. Wood doesn't create condensation and mold. Wood structures can easily be constructed, modified, enlarged or repaired. Wood is an easily renewable resource, especially when you are living on land in the middle of a forest. You can use the offcuts to heat your home and never worry about your back yard turning into a rusting heap of metal. Yes, the welding hat and giant gloves look dramatic, but is this really a pragmatic way to create a home?
Are the containers going to be connected? If not, will need three separate heat/cooling sources?
What boots are you wearing in this video?? Thanks
Question. Why didnt you guess have the containers connect to each other vs. 3 separate units. Just curious.
Are you connecting the shipping containers for one larger unit or keeping them separate?
oh Lou, I wanna be like you :)
Could you share the Epidemic Sound title around 7:13?
How about adding a wood stove in that canvas tent. That way when Dana comes with baby it will be kind of warm.
💜💜💜💜💜💜
♥️
One step ata time looks good
Nice job! Your wife should be helping you, you’d go so much faster when there are two people. Even handing you a tool and such.
I like your dungarees Dana
Did you guys need a permit to build these out? Dreaming up my own tiny home idea and wondering how feasible it is😅
Oops I heard you say wood stove yeah.
👍😎
I have a question ❓ Does commenting on someone's video help them in anyway?
Yes 👍 like also and be a sub it gets TH-cam looking at what is going on with I think one of the best I have ever seen.
Yes. They get money if we watch the adds too. I never watch them but just let them play while I do other things. A thumb 👍 (or👎) gets them visibility thru YT algorithm and adding a comment helps too!
Never cut metal and not immediately cover your cuts with rustled primer/paint of some kind or it will rust under those welds
Sorry...rustoleum
Hello Wild We Roam, any chance for us to work together to test and install our 4K security camera system? It also can help you to protect the safrty around you. I had emailed and messaged you the details of the proposal in Instagram, hope can get your feedback and move forward! Thanks.
