- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
- In this video we build a budget minded workshop from two 40' shipping containers, a set of used trusses, and lumber we milled ourselves for less than $15,000.

2 containers $1500 each
$1000 to transport
That's $4000 dollars ,
Are you saying that you then spent
$11 grand for wood to build just a roof ?
screws ontop the ribs are better. If you take the extra .5 seconds to back off the screw and retighten the screw on the roof its guaranteed to be a water tight seal to the roof and the washer ends up higher on the steel. Meaning when water runs down the roof it won't start eating away at the rubber washer. I've had so many repairs I've been sent to that screws on the flat of the steel end up wearing through within 1 year as opposed to a screw in the high rib wears through in 20 years... assuming the steel doesn't damage the rubber cutting through it. I'm sold on using 2 1/4 nails with rubber washers. It pierces the steel and seals the hole without risking shards or metal cutting through the washer or just thrown about on the roof causing rusting over time.
I like how you tied them together below grade, very clever. What is the length of the rafters you used?
1.2M, cut this into shorts for 2nd life and ad space
This channel pays for it
I just want to say. Thank you for harnessing off, im a industrial roofer and i cant tell you how hard it is to get people into doing what we do, our fatality and injury statistics are so high bc of commercial and DIY roofing, so i truly appreciate you not only tying off for your own safety, but setting an example of what to properly do
lol. while also working from a ladder on a sketchy work platform being lifted by the skid steer
@@RiskBizz or while spinning big foot :)
If you really wanna see something dangerous ill get ya a job on the rigging ( logging ) with me 👍
@@RiskBizzI've done things for dollars an hour you wouldn't believe.
5 meter rope in a 3 meter fall won't work tho
Now you just need to add a gutter system to the one side for rain water collection. Cheers! Love your videos and cheerful attitudes!
Por que no los dos?
@@dper1112 Probably don't want the moss, algae, dirt and other stuff coming off the deck into the water supply. Though you could have a clean water and plant water barrel on each respectively.
@@Scubadog_You just set up a vertical PVC pipe with a smallish hole in the bottom before the run to your collection tank. The PVC pipe captures the first several gallons of water that contains dirt, bird droppings, etc.
The PVC pipe fills up and then the water starts moving in your collection tank. When it stops raining, the small hole in the bottom of the PVC pipe allows the dirty water to drain so that you're ready for the next rainfall.
You can always filter that water if you need to drink it in an emergency but the primary use would be watering plants, flushing toilets, etc.
UNREAL BUILD 👏
We couldn't have done it (or had nearly as much fun) without your help!
Unreal timeframe. And cost. I grew up reading “The Boxcar Children” series books. Made me want to do projects like this. Very cool to see such a solid build.
Hoping Riley is feeling better, health and family are what matters most. I love watching all of your projects and how your land and lives are progressing. Keep up the good work!
Appreciate the pace of the video, no wasted time.
On several past job site occasions where we built similar equipment areas we had roll up doors added in to the covered sides of the containers. Turns what was long tunnel type storage in the containers into several easy to access “rooms” in each of the 40 ft containers.
same thing where i work, but they just did a really long lean to style roof and put it across the whole span and containers
I’m in the planning stage of a container shop, this is a fantastic idea, which I am immediately incorporating into my build.
@@benwilson1979 keep in mind, containers are rather flimsy once their structure is compromised anywhere you cut in will require some good reinforcement
I learned the hardway about predrilling for roofing screws. I didn't when I built my shop and I had several leaks. If you notice in the slowmo of Courtney installing a screw, the screw produces a "swarf" the protrudes from under the rubber gasket. When I discovered I had leaks, I examined the screws and found on the majority of the screws, that "swarf" was on the uphill side of the screw head, which of course provided a leak path. I have no idea why the would frequently end up on the uphill side, but they did. I went back and removed all the screws where I had leaks and knocked removed the pigtail "swarf" and installed new screws. If I ever install another metal roof, I will pre drill or go with a seamless roof style.
Underrated comment!
Non-judging, informative, and provides the method of remediation. Appreciate it.
This is gold. Thank you.
Glad to hear Riley's feeling better - I never knew he wasn't feeling well actually! You guys rock so definitely do whatever you need to do to get better, take care of Oliver, and then get us more content, in that order. We'll be here! :)
Your miter saw looks just like my circular saw 😂😂
Can't wait to see you celebrate reaching one million subscribers 😊
I have loved watching you folks on your journey so far. I really want you to install a railing around your new deck.
I build exactly this setup as a workshop for my company. Only difference, the trusses sit right on and are bolted to angle iron welded to the container roof. Has worked fantastic.
This is the first video of your channel im seeing, and in the first minute im blown away by your past projects and current ambitions, oh to have what you have
You guys are Rock Stars! Some wonderful ideas. Absolutely EPIC teamwork and resourcefulness!
Mad Respect from BC Canada.
Skill, hard work and determination. Congrats on 500k!
I think you forgot to mention that it would cost someone 15 grand easily just to have all that equipment on site doing the prep for a few days. Let's be real dude......
Yep
I had a cool idea for a cabin layout a lot like this. Picture three small buildings arranged in a U-shape, with a big outdoor area in the middle. Underneath everything, there's a sturdy concrete floor. Over the top, there's a roof covering everything. Inside the buildings, there are sliding glass doors that let you open up to the outside. And there's also a kitchen area with big sliding doors that can be opened wide or closed tight. So basically, you can easily switch between hanging out inside or outside, depending on the weather or your mood. It's like having the best of both worlds!
Lol I love watching trust fund babies with all their gear doing crazy cool stuff. I'm jealous.
Ya’ll keep on making me want to watch more…. Much love from Oklahoma 🇺🇸
Congratulations on reaching 500k. I love watching your show, can’t believe how far you’ve come in 2 years.. best wishes from across the pond 🏴 🇬🇧
Request update on shallow well! ❤ Went back and looked at the first, soooo exciting!!
Very cool guys!! Looks amazing. What a neat project to have done together & with friends. Memories that will never be forgotten!!
Great recap! Love watching most of your videos! Hoping Riley gets to feeling better, and looking forward to what 2024 holds for you guys!
I recommend closing in the back to get more protection against old man winter. No cross wind to blow in snow!
Plop down another container
Thanks for the video we're in the process of starting a container barn with equipment storage also. The deck was a nice touch would never have thought of that addition . Nice job on your project keep up the great work.
500K so happy for you guys.
Keep going, best wishes from South Africa
I hope you're feeling great by now Riley! This building is beautiful!!
This motivated me so much we just bought two 40' containers. Pretty much going to do the same thing. Thanks for the awesome idea. Just subscribed.
Love watching and listening to you guy's! Love that barn!
Riley seems to be speaking at warp factor 4 on this video! Awesome work on the container shop build! Great to see the _Vanwives_ again! They are so energetic!
Thank you for this quick recap. So sorry you had health challenges, and pray you got good prognoses. All the best.
Thank you Donald.
Awesome and outstanding.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Hey guys, spring is coming soon (we hope!) and perhaps better weather will perk you up Riley and shake what ever is holding you down. Little Oliver is looking really cute with his chubby little cheeks and great little smile. Courtney, you do an excellent job of getting the videos out to us, as well as being a great mom, machine operator and Riley manager!😊
"Riley Manager" aka Chaos Coordinator!
That's where you need the Solar Panels on south side of new shop roof!
Exactly my thoughts
"A bridge! Mountain bike jumps! Maybe even a TRAIN!" Oh MY! 😊👍😉🥰❤️
Reminds me of one of my old designs. Looks good and definitely a good low cost. Good work
I’ve never done construction, but this was really enjoyable and you did a phenomenal video production of everything to the point. I understood much of it. Super impressed by your skills and ambition
It's nice to see you use fall protection and set a good example for others. People underestimate the potentially life altering/ending result of a fall.

A solid and multifunctional building built in record time and with maximum yield for minimal expense.👍
Congratulations on the 500k🎉🎉🎉. This build turned out incredible. ❤
Absolutely Amazing Craftsmanship!
Well done!
This is actually a sweet idea, we have seen someone do this in our province, NB, Canada. 😊
Your site is an inspiration! Hope ‘24 is a great year.
That's a beautiful job you all did. Wish I had a Courtney! Nice helper crew is a big bonus. One more thing to add is a large capacity raingutter and downspouts on the deck side. Crown the gutter up 6" high in the middle and put a downspout on each end. You'll keep the deck a lot cleaner and you can easily clean the gutter from the deck every month or so.
Your compilation video was very well done. Thanks. Great work. BTW The shop looks amazing.
You guys should make a natural swimming pond in a future project
I love y’alls videos! Haven’t gotten notifications in a while. So, I went on a search and found your new projects! So many ideas of what I want to do! The container shop is on my TO-DO list!
Brilliant short overview. So much work!! Googly eyes make me spit my tea every time!
Awesome video great recap. Show you are great at thinking things out congratulations.
Keep up the great work
Another complete build done.
Great build and vid! Loved how it was both informative and quick, and that's the recipe for any online vid! Thanks!
The non deck side of the roof could make a good place for a rainwater collection system.
Nice work. The only thing I'd suggest is a railing around that deck and closing off the gap between the upper roof and deck and on the other side too so wind isn't blowing rain and snow inside. I know the ends will be open but it would cut down on a lot of moisture inside there and it would look even better.
Clear plexi seals it and allows light in.
That did turn out pretty awesome! Great job!
Amazing idea to add that roof deck! I see so many things out there built on hillsides with no way to take advantage of the view
So satisfying to watch! Thank you. 👍🏽🌟👍🏽
Great project design, rugged construction, job well done.
Good job, that's a lot of work. You can make that your living space, not just work shop. Very beautiful,
Bro your reinforcements are on point!
You guys are having really tough times. Stay strong and don't let yourself get down
Wow, god bless ya'll and your family I love this!
Deb and I will definitely keep Riley in our prayers. We hope he feels better soon. Good recap on the shop build. You shared perspective that we didn't see on the build video that I really liked. Like the window insight. I really like to make sure and leave comments to help the TH-cam algorithm for you guys. Congratulations on 500k subscribers. I knew you could do it. 1 million is just around the corner.!
Epic build! Can’t wait to see what you do with it! 😍
Turned out awesome!
You're making a difference in people's lives! 🌎
Thanks for the interesting recap.
Awesome build. I really enjoy all your projects.
In the UK we have CT1 sealant, which is brilliant stuff, we even use it in the haulage industry, sticks pretty much anything to anything, and is very durable, would have sealed your windows frames perfectly.
LOOKS AWESOME!
Unreal i always wanted to do this ! BRAVO
That looks awesome!
Awesome, hope to have something similar one day
Great job. Great video.
I’ve got two containers, I need to do this, holy cow awesome.
Yup. Turned out looking pretty rad.
Awesome man!
Nice recap👍
Amazing job!!!
Looks Great Good job
Such a cool building!
Fabulous building!
Really good Video. This looks like a dream to me, have some land and build what ever you want. I wish you all the best!
Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪
Cool video! Thanks for sharing
I would *seriously* live in this, no problem at all ... wonderful!
Well done you guys! Love the edit!!
Excellant work!
I LOVE that Courtney and the other gals did so much work instead of just being eye candy. They are an inspiration to other women. I'm VERY impressed with what you both have accomplished. I hope my projects turn out as nice.
Love the windows in the containers
You had me at mountain bike jumps Riley!
Looks great!
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
