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 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
@@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.
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.
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!
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.
@@benwilson1979 keep in mind, containers are rather flimsy once their structure is compromised anywhere you cut in will require some good reinforcement
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.
Looks fantastic, great job on the safety harnesses. As a contractor for commercial and residential, I can definitively appreciate the safe work environment.
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!
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! :)
Dude... I am sure you have heard this before, but from a lot of guys out here.... you won the freaking lotto.... congrats to you... never take it for granted...
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.
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.
tip: butyl strip on the new window frames where they contzct the container walls. you can get thick butyl, it compresses thin where needed, maintains seal, and remains soft and pliable
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
Super nice build! Those containers are probably fire proof! Courtney stole the show buddy. She is awesome! Love to see families, beautiful baby! Thanks for the video! Looks great!
Am quite impressed with your tremendous energy and motivation over the past 4 years as I binge-watched, skimming over the videos last night. However, I'd like to offer one important comment about the overall design of your shipping container shop with the trussed work area. I'm a retired architect from Canada and really do like the overall design idea but didn't notice whether you considered wind uplift in the design of the truss anchors. With both ends of the overall space being wide open, I can tell you that a structural engineer would have made sure that the truss bearing end points were solidly anchored down to a concrete foundation of some sort via steel rods or bars. The steel walls of the containers MIGHT also be able serve that purpose as long as the trusses have steel straps down to the top of the steel container sides, and the bottom of the container is anchored by steel ties to a substantial concrete base that's heavy enough to resist wind uplift. You're a nice young couple with a beautiful little child and I would hate to hear that a storm with heavy winds tore the truss roof off the shop and injured or killed someone, or even created a major setback to your efforts.
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.!
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.
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.
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!😊
in 2014 - 10 years ago I set out to learn how to fabricate in 3d with blender - I use photoshop and 3d blender to create previews of all kinds of fabrication projects out of metal and wood. I model in actual size in blender and can take a picture with blenders ortho camera put that picture over to my 42" printer and have 1/64" accuracy. So I make cut files for projects but also make actual size plans. Welders love to work from my plans. Your having a blast ! If you ever want someone to take interest in one of your projects let me know ! I had the same vision of those containers for my back yard. Thanks for the cool video. Id like to share some of my picture tool projects on here at some point.
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 🏴 🇬🇧
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.
I hang welded shelving I fabbed to use torch bent round bar hooks to hang from the internal tiedown loops and have zero footprint so I can move machine tools, welders and carts beneath them. Super easy to fab and you get much stronger shelves than most commercial units. I fabbed simple upward-facing trays from angle then used flat bar crossmembers (dropped in place so I can move them if desired, no need to weld most of them) to further support the plywood surface. BTW Dow 418 auto glass urethane is magnificent sealant for container wall and door penetrations like air, electric cable and welding cable feedthroughs.
An idea for the windows so they are less likely to leak, is to leave about a foot or 10-12" of metal left in from the top of the window, so you can just bend it out to hang out over to create a overhang or sun shade. So basically you would cut the bottom line and the left and right side out. But then don't cut the top line. Cut half or maybe two thirds of the square hole out, and then bend the remaining metal outward to create that shade and deflect the rain water outward.
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.
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......
You absolutely want the screws on the flat. The best way to roof with steel goes like this. Aline the stack of roof panels on the ground with the trusses in the direction you want them on the roof. Then grip one sheet with a vice grip on the end of the panel and tie a rope to the vice grip. One person stands on the peak of the roof and pulls the panel up, while the other clamps the vice grip on the next panel. If it is a long panel place one or two supports for the sheet to slide on its way up. If your really afraid about rain run a bead of silicone down the last rib wear the panels overlap.
What I wouldn’t give for the financial ability to live sustainably, neighbors willing to lend a hand, and a supportive and capable wife strong enough to handle her own and here to work as a team
A few years ago i built a 40' container cottage on a cattle ranch. It was a small bunk house for workers. I made the exact same mistake stitch welding the doors and window frames in. A few leaked and had to be resealed a year later. My only issue was in the winter it stayed very humid in there without constant dehumidification. The minisplit didnt do that while heating, only AC.
Lol maybe a $150k in machinery if purchased used from a reputable auction site or gov agency. Or rent, renting is always cheaper than owning in the short run. But if you have a construction company it makes sense to own if they are being regularly used.
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!
I'd like to see you build a fire lookout tower, a ski lift, a timber frame home, a gigantic swing, a better water system, a larger shop that attaches to your current shop, a larger equipment storage shed without the containers, a much larger snow blower with a wider bucket, Install hydronic radiant infloor heating in your next concrete floor and put the snow tracks on another much cooler vehicle. It would also be nice to see you upgrade your snow tracks. It would also be supper cool if you built a custom snow cat from scratch with a custom snow blower that's much larger, wider and dedicated just for blowing snow. 14 feet wide or something like that. Just a massive peace of equipment for one pass on your road. Your going to have to make a better place to keep sand with a larger machine to load the sand. Turn that apartment into a guest house.
Lots of places in Alaska have no local codes, and the state doesn't have the resources to enforce their minimal regs. A good share of the rural area has no property taxation.
Always a negative responder among us. I guess they want to prove that either they know more than us or maybe we are stupid. Either way it exposes a very unhappy person.
@@michaellesueur5103no the title is just click bait😂 maybe that’s the problem? 9.999/10 people don’t have this laying around so it would make this so much more expensive for the rest of us😂
Agreed!. You most likely will spend most of that $$$ on fighting local officials who don't know anything except this is "Alternative" and hard to appraise/access for tax collection!. Most millenials and 100% of GenZ(ero) need to just settle for renting forever. OR hoping Mom and Dad don't "reverse" Mortgage their home and leave it in decent shape to them. I have an acquaintance that just couldn't make it on their own where they wanted to live and wound up moving back to their S-Hole birthplace in Grandma's old house. Two college degrees wound up being 100% WORTHLESS to real world needs. This guy sponsorships, heavy duty equipment. Even his OWN F'n SawMill!. YEAH, this guy's some Richy Rich who inherited his wealth.
The reason you screw the flat on ag. panel is to keep it flat, allow for the ribs to expand with temperature but maybe most importantly is that the over lapping rib has a siphon channel and screwing it could allow water intrusion.
Watching this makes me sick. I have a brother with tons of property, a tractor, and a Woodmizer lumber mill. He has been talking about doing something with these things for almost 10 years. I'm still waiting and wondering if he will ever do anything with them. I watch videos like this and think of his inability to motivate himself to do anything other than go to "work" every day..........which is translated to drive to job sites, point fingers, never leave the comfort of the truck, and call people throughout the day when boredom sets in. Rinse and repeat. Apparently, making money makes you happier than doing things that make you happy. Who knew?
You know what separates the top 1% from the 99%.... They go out and do shit. 99% of people don't do stuff. Top 1% aren't just the wealthy - it is people who go out and build and create things and take a risk. Most people do not.
On the deck side container you probably have water running into your covered area since the Conex roof have slight crowns built into them. In your case this is probably not an issue for your intended use, this is just a heads up for people who think they are going to enclose and turn the center area into a shop or other protected space.
OMG, I'm steeling your idea. I live at elevation in Colorado and just purchased shipping containers for a work project. This is the best solution for me, right now. Next summer I'm totally doing this project! Any recommendations for the project would be super helpful!!!
I just got my containers delivered from Wuwi Shipping Container yesterday. I am planning to make a two-story container house i thought it would be expensive and surprisingly Wuwi Shipping Container sells cheap containers i got my 40ft Container for 1800 each and i even paid it upon delivery. I am from Texas by the way.
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 🤙
workshop in one container and Guest Quarters in the other.. would be an Awesome idea I think.. have the Vanwives come and help again, they are quick builders and do beautiful work.. make it a competition.. Riley can build the shop and the girls can build the living quarters..
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
Some metal panels come with a backer basically a piece of plastic corrugated to match the tin and allows to put the screw on the ridge lowering the chance of a leak even after the rubber washers all rot away all the water flows away from the screw so what little water got in dries so quick you don’t really get damage. But is makes it so much more expensive.
Gidday Riley. You mentioned in this vid about weather to fix your metal sheeting in either the valley or the peak. I have seen what you have done previously, and it makes me cringe to see you fix off in the valleys. I have spent a lot of time in the game and here in Australia, across all states, it is a building code that fasteners are fitted at the peak. The main reason for this is that when screw off in the valley, there is the opportunity for leaks, this over time will rot out the battens that you’ve fastened to. If you get a leak in 1 in 50 fasteners and you’ve got 1500 screws, you’ve got 30 points of failure/rotten battens over a short space of time, maybe more. If your worried about integrity, we have cyclones that a roof has to survive. Anyway you guys do well. Cheers Bloke. Enjoy your winter sports

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?

Lol maybe a $150k in machinery if purchased used from a reputable auction site or gov agency. Or rent, renting is always cheaper than owning in the short run. But if you have a construction company it makes sense to own if they are being regularly used.
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!
Lol I love watching trust fund babies with all their gear doing crazy cool stuff. I'm jealous.
Haha...my thoughts exactly.
I'd like to see you build a fire lookout tower, a ski lift, a timber frame home, a gigantic swing, a better water system, a larger shop that attaches to your current shop, a larger equipment storage shed without the containers, a much larger snow blower with a wider bucket, Install hydronic radiant infloor heating in your next concrete floor and put the snow tracks on another much cooler vehicle. It would also be nice to see you upgrade your snow tracks. It would also be supper cool if you built a custom snow cat from scratch with a custom snow blower that's much larger, wider and dedicated just for blowing snow. 14 feet wide or something like that. Just a massive peace of equipment for one pass on your road. Your going to have to make a better place to keep sand with a larger machine to load the sand. Turn that apartment into a guest house.
Nice recap👍
Great recap! Love watching most of your videos! Hoping Riley gets to feeling better, and looking forward to what 2024 holds for you guys!
Where is this place where they just let you build whatever you like with zero planning code ?
Idaho
@@natashajones4909 On my way
Lots of places in Alaska have no local codes, and the state doesn't have the resources to enforce their minimal regs. A good share of the rural area has no property taxation.
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.
“15,000” uses literally close to if not over one million dollars worth of equipment that would coast hundreds of thousands to rent
Always a negative responder among us. I guess they want to prove that either they know more than us or maybe we are stupid. Either way it exposes a very unhappy person.
@@michaellesueur5103dudes right though
@@michaellesueur5103no the title is just click bait😂 maybe that’s the problem? 9.999/10 people don’t have this laying around so it would make this so much more expensive for the rest of us😂
“More of a custom look”😂 it’s all custom because your doing it yourself!
I’m guessing you’ve never rented or purchased heavy equipment before.
It's been a blast so far. Makes it even better knowing friends and family are also having a good time on the platform. What’s been your favorite part
None of this is possible unless you're a millionaire
Agreed!. You most likely will spend most of that $$$ on fighting local officials who don't know anything except this is "Alternative" and hard to appraise/access for tax collection!. Most millenials and 100% of GenZ(ero) need to just settle for renting forever. OR hoping Mom and Dad don't "reverse" Mortgage their home and leave it in decent shape to them. I have an acquaintance that just couldn't make it on their own where they wanted to live and wound up moving back to their S-Hole birthplace in Grandma's old house. Two college degrees wound up being 100% WORTHLESS to real world needs.
This guy sponsorships, heavy duty equipment. Even his OWN F'n SawMill!.
YEAH, this guy's some Richy Rich who inherited his wealth.
Yeah once you through in delivery, equipment rental, the well, and then the materials it's way over 15k.
I’ve known a few people that did this same type of thing with pretty much no money starting piece by piece.
@@robertkeller9828 We never need to "settle" fuck that
Helped a friend on fixed income build one. He’s definitely not a millionaire.
The reason you screw the flat on ag. panel is to keep it flat, allow for the ribs to expand with temperature but maybe most importantly is that the over lapping rib has a siphon channel and screwing it could allow water intrusion.
Watching this makes me sick. I have a brother with tons of property, a tractor, and a Woodmizer lumber mill. He has been talking about doing something with these things for almost 10 years. I'm still waiting and wondering if he will ever do anything with them. I watch videos like this and think of his inability to motivate himself to do anything other than go to "work" every day..........which is translated to drive to job sites, point fingers, never leave the comfort of the truck, and call people throughout the day when boredom sets in. Rinse and repeat. Apparently, making money makes you happier than doing things that make you happy. Who knew?
You know what separates the top 1% from the 99%.... They go out and do shit. 99% of people don't do stuff. Top 1% aren't just the wealthy - it is people who go out and build and create things and take a risk. Most people do not.
On the deck side container you probably have water running into your covered area since the Conex roof have slight crowns built into them. In your case this is probably not an issue for your intended use, this is just a heads up for people who think they are going to enclose and turn the center area into a shop or other protected space.
Did u pour footings ?
I hope you're feeling great by now Riley! This building is beautiful!!
Nice video, but why so rushed? My stress levels went up just from hearing Riley talking so fast.
I natural talk twice as fast as this. I'm sorry. Didn't even think he was speaking that quickly
If a TH-cam video raises your stress levels, take a walk outside and smoke a joint. TH-cam is for your enjoyment and entertainment my friend.
I actually sped up the video. it's all relative
I watched in 2x speed, didnt really notice. Maybe try playing with playback speed if you find it fast
Less coffee maybe, def no espresso!
OMG, I'm steeling your idea. I live at elevation in Colorado and just purchased shipping containers for a work project. This is the best solution for me, right now. Next summer I'm totally doing this project! Any recommendations for the project would be super helpful!!!
8:55 its not a miter saw, its a circular saw
As soon as he said it I came looking for this comment 😅
i remember you have only few thousand and watching you guya build your camper..i remember i watch all ur videos till this day..love 🇵🇭❤
Wow! I think we might need to make a tshirt for the viewers who have been here since the camper build. That feels like FOREVER ago. 🤯
Rerun.
i think this might be the coolest container design I've ever seen. Very impressive!
15 k usd ? renting these trucks to make the ground levels is already more than 15k... lol
These you tube videos are always full of crap. They’ll post any lie to get the clicks, views and thus the cash.
I just got my containers delivered from Wuwi Shipping Container yesterday. I am planning to make a two-story container house i thought it would be expensive and surprisingly Wuwi Shipping Container sells cheap containers i got my 40ft Container for 1800 each and i even paid it upon delivery. I am from Texas by the way.
Yeh $15000 plus half a million in equipment and not counting the land.
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 🤙
There sure have been a lot of reruns lately. You can only show the same things so many times before ppl lose interest
Read the comment at the beginning. Are you so cold you don’t care about their health?
Awesome and outstanding.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
They gave you a permit for that??
He's probably not a millionaire. Just a guy with awesome building skills and no how, which is more valuable than millions in the bank. 😊
Recylcing old material as new? Skip.
There’s a difference between recycling and refurbishing/restoring/repurposing. Not that this is that. Just saying.
Hater
The non deck side of the roof could make a good place for a rainwater collection system.
Re run getting lazy 😂😂
Love watching and listening to you guy's! Love that barn!
Another rehash of old video. This is the third rerun in just the first month and a half of the year.
Read the comment at the top
Riley's voice-over explaining everything as they RECAPPED the build was new. Plus, it's only an 11 minute video!
what an impressive job. all of you are very skilled.
The channel seems to be going nowhere, these days. Content has fizzled out to nothing interesting. I finally unsubscribed.
Good, bye. ✌️ 😆
500K so happy for you guys.
Keep going, best wishes from South Africa
Reminds me of one of my old designs. Looks good and definitely a good low cost. Good work
workshop in one container and Guest Quarters in the other.. would be an Awesome idea I think.. have the Vanwives come and help again, they are quick builders and do beautiful work.. make it a competition.. Riley can build the shop and the girls can build the living quarters..
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
Congratulations on the 500k🎉🎉🎉. This build turned out incredible. ❤
Some metal panels come with a backer basically a piece of plastic corrugated to match the tin and allows to put the screw on the ridge lowering the chance of a leak even after the rubber washers all rot away all the water flows away from the screw so what little water got in dries so quick you don’t really get damage. But is makes it so much more expensive.
Gorgeous build, beautiful property and brilliant ideas! You guys seem like so awesome people!
This channel deserves at least 1M subs👍💓
Gidday Riley. You mentioned in this vid about weather to fix your metal sheeting in either the valley or the peak. I have seen what you have done previously, and it makes me cringe to see you fix off in the valleys. I have spent a lot of time in the game and here in Australia, across all states, it is a building code that fasteners are fitted at the peak. The main reason for this is that when screw off in the valley, there is the opportunity for leaks, this over time will rot out the battens that you’ve fastened to. If you get a leak in 1 in 50 fasteners and you’ve got 1500 screws, you’ve got 30 points of failure/rotten battens over a short space of time, maybe more. If your worried about integrity, we have cyclones that a roof has to survive. Anyway you guys do well. Cheers Bloke. Enjoy your winter sports
