    When we began filming this video, we hit 10,000 subscribers! Somehow, before we were able to upload this weeks video, the subscriber god blessed us with another 10,000! lol But in all seriousness, we can't believe how much we have grown! Thank you guys so much!
    In this episode, Spenser bridged the center section of our shipping container home floor. We also did some cleaning up around the barn. There was a fallen tree and some much needed landscaping that we needed to take care of. Once those tasks were completed, we began supporting the cutouts of our shipping containers!

    One thing you'll learn real quick is that everyone on CZcams is a expert. Not the content creators but the viewers. Each and every one are pure genius and always know what they're talking about. With that said I'm glad you did your own research and came to your own conclusions. Don't get me wrong, you can learn a lot for people in the comments, but the people in the comments can hinder you as much as help you. Just keep that in mind and you'll be fine!!

    I worked with shipping containers for many years and there really isn’t anything structural in the side panels the whole container is reinforced along the edges. The support needed is minimal.

      @brandoncaldwell95 Před 5 lety +3

      @@TheTinkle1 To an extent. The strongest points of a container are the corners where load locks are placed. Going along the edges, they are stong but not near as strong. Majority weight is never on the long edges but in the corners. The edges just prevent folding under load which maybe 50,000lbs. have to look at my containers sticker for weight capacity. Having been around enough containers, they are all pretty beaten up for the thin walls to be of any actual support of any kind.

    Congrats on reaching 20k so quickly guys, just goes to show how much interest there is in container builds.
    Part of my work here in the UK is converting containers into offices/studios/summerhouse/classrooms from a single 20ft unit, and even then, cutting side panels out weakens the structure quite a bit, so generally we leave 8" or so along the roof line, and weld in extra box section to frame the opening, then solid plate from that to the roof box section. We do put a lot of weight on top in the form of a living roof though, it's great for insulating against the heat of summer and cold of winter!
    All the best in your endevour, I will be following with interest! ;)

    Did you guys notice a increase of vibration on the floor after taking the wall off and before welding the columns? we took only like one third of what you took off and we felt a lot of vibration. But after we welded a reinforcement column it went back to normal. By the way, congrats on such an amazing growth of the channel.

    • @life.uncontained
      @life.uncontained  Před 6 lety +4

      Odd Life Crafting thank you guys! Actually no we didn’t realize any extra vibrations but we had welded our containers to the foundation. The roof did have slightly more movement once we made the cuts but that was quickly solved once we welded in the square tubing. Looking forward to your new video!

    Having been raised in the construction business, and in Texas, I would have chosen untreated wood as well and for the very same reasons. I feel the steel posts are a bit of an overkill unless there will ultimately be no wood framing in their stead, but I sure recon the steel won't do any harm either.

  • @beanvo9924
    @beanvo9924 Před 6 lety

    These containers can hold 30 tons, but the frame can withstand about 300 tons. You won't have any issues there guys. You can stack 5 more containers on top and it's still a lot stronger than your house.

    Great progress! And I'm not gonna throw any shade your way over stressing out your CR-V's transmission pulling that tree. I'm impressed that it even could. Congrats on using what you have to get what you want! A chainsaw could be a really solid investment (or target for borrowing), just sayin'. Otherwise, I think that the property is looking awesome and the build is coming along really well too. Great stuff! I've never dreamed of building a container home until I started watching you.
    P.S. And while I feel like I'm an above average DIY homeowner and have been able to fix mostly everything in my house the past 18-years, Spencer solve a problem - bridging the center - in a way that I'd have never thought of. Staggering the supports. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

    @asarand Před 6 lety

    I think most of the concern about structural integrity was based on the idea that you may want to build on top of the containers, and that the support would be needed for the weight of the structure and whatever else you would have on top of the containers. Your solution definitely satisfies that need.
    I have now watched and liked all of your videos, and feel I am caught up to present. I look forward to seeing what comes next. Also, I don't know if you read comments on previous videos, but I did leave a comment on some of them.

      Not really. You'd need to build a deck on top because container roofs are thin and easily dented by foot traffic which causes water "ponding" and corrosion. I own four containers including two 40' High Cubes I joined as a shop.
