Love this tiny home
I love every thing about this except the ladder. I would put a partial wall and a spiral staircase. Well done. Gorgeous!!
A spiral staircase would be great!
That's what I was thinking too, but overall a beautiful home. 👍🏽
if my parents built a guesthouse like this - they would have trouble getting their guests to leave 🤣😂 well done folks - enjoy your ever changing family life going forward 🇨🇦🙏
This Guy seems to be supercool.
I love this layout. Thank you for sharing.
Appreciate the kind feedback! Bob is wonderfully kindhearted and laid back ☺️
Oh I would absolutely add a railing all across that loft. Otherwise I did very much like what you ended up with.
Hello Jane, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Me too, actually a wall partition at least a half a wall !
Love this house but the loft is kind of scary especially at night. The idea of connecting two containers in this way makes for such a big open space.
What a beautiful home ~ how lucky you are to have that on your property!! The loft makes me dizzy ~ don't know about that ladder = not for this 74 y.o.!! Enjoy it and your life! Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you.
Thank you for the love Bonnie! ☺️
Hello Bonnie, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Nice to have a bedroom downstairs . Good Luck with your new Life❗️
very nicely done. One thing that comes highly recommended, a fall prevention rail, for the loft.
indeed wood would be lovely and going down the ladder to I'm scared of heights 😅.....
@@loj62 Same here. lol
Beautiful tiny home 🙂
But...the ladder...🤔...scary to go up, even worse coming down. Maybe because I'm getting older 🤷♀️
Totally get that. It’s surprisingly sturdy but we definitely prefer ship’s ladder with steps larger enough for your entire foot and a built in railing 😁
Hello Lyn, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
I’m currently working a 12 hour shift in a remote railroad signal box, it has 360 degree panoramic views. In front of me is the ocean and the sun is glinting on calm waters, behind me are mountains, I can see tiny white specs moving up and down the mountains (sheep). Either side are lush green meadows which produce vibrant beautiful colours from wild flowers in the summer time.
The signal box is an old Victorian wooden building. The old pendulum clock is tick tocking in a very mediative rhythm on the wall.
My dog is curled up asleep next to the old log burning stove . The wind is trying to make its way through the thin panes of glass which makes a beautiful haunting sound
The resident Robin is outside on the steps eagerly pecking at the bread & biscuits crumbs I’ve thrown out for him.
It’s a far cry from my last career in the city , I was well groomed and sharp suits , nice car and big house until one day ( 3 years ago) I saw the light after being forced to lay off some people at my company. It hit me hard & I just couldn’t live with myself anymore. I handed in my notice and walked out . The Universe came to my rescue and found this job for me,
now I have long hair & beard and look like Grizzly Adams . I’ve taken up painting with water colours and I’m regularly bringing my paint pads here to work.
I regularly have this channel playing in the background.
The only person I see occasionally is an old farmer who drives by on an old open top tractor, he’s an old man with a flat cap, bright red face, his sheep dog between his legs with its front paws placed on the steering wheel .
I call him “ Farmer Jones” although I’ve actually no idea what his real name is.
He acknowledges me by raising his index finger off the steering wheel of his 1950’s tractor that has seen many many years of extreme mountain winters.
Both Farmer Jones & his old sheep dog stare straight ahead without flinching.
Where they go is a mystery as the the old drovers track goes on for miles way up into the mountains, they normally drive back past about 5.30pm and disappear back into the mountains in the opposite direction.
He’s a tall man with 1970’s hair cut , kind of reminds me of an old Clint Eastwood stature . I’m sure he must have been a very handsome man in his day . I imagine the local girls hoping to catch his eye on a Saturday night at the old village hall dance.
I’m guessing that there was once a Mrs farmer Jones but judging from the vacant stare of both him and his dog that they both experienced “ THE DAY !“ that life for them stood still” .
Mrs Jones was getting ready to leave their old white washed mountain top farm to do the weekly shop in the local town , she’d been looking at a fancy catalog which had arrived in the post and had been looking at a beautiful summer dress that she wanted to buy for their daughter who’d got married some years before and had moved to the city suburbs with her husband and had recently had a child.
As she was leaving she noticed a dead rat laying under the kitchen table . She thought oh thank god ‘Dylan’ the sheep dog finally killed that damn thing, it’s been raiding the pantry for months , he’s such a good dog considering his young age, I do love him .
Mrs J got into the old car which took a few turns to start and slowly made her way down the old drovers track towards what can be loosely called a road , she glanced up at the mountains opposite her and saw Mr J and Dylan as specs in the distance rounding up sheep. She loved them both with all the love of a woman’s heart.
She made her way along the road until arriving at a T junction of a main road , to the left was the local town however Mrs J turned right . ( if you asked her why she turned right on that particular day, all she could tell you is that …. All intention , meaning, thought , feelings just evaporated, “ I was a whispy summer cloud that drifts with absolutely no control , it came out of nowhere and yet I was connected to everything in the universe!! I just kept on driving , I wasn’t aware I was driving!!).
Mr J & Dylan had arrived back many hours ago from the mountains as it was getting dark , he knew something was wrong as did Dylan , both fearing the worst . The phone line was down as usual but he’d managed to get the word out that Mrs J was missing.
3 days go by and Mr J looks at the open page in the catalog and think … You stupid man, I should have bought her something fancy !! I should have noticed, he wipes away a tear .
Dylan noticed the rat he killed for his mama and had left it there so she could see she didn’t have to fret no more about it eating food from the parlour. Dylan thought .. it’s my fault she left I should never have left that rat in the kitchen.
THE DAY !!
Fast forward many years and that vacant stare is still there as they both go over that day forever
. Mrs J found herself in the suburbs of a City she’d only visited once and followed a vaguely familiar road until she arrived and parked outside a vaguely familiar house.
Marie her daughter was playing in the front garden with her new 1 year old child , something made her look up and notice an old beat up car parked on the road just in front of the gate. A female telepathy kicks in “ She knew “
she walks to the car and opens the driver door . The Female glance of eyes meeting for a split second carries more information than any Male could ever comprehend nor fathom.
No words required, Marie took her mother by the hand sat her down at the kitchen table whilst she prepared the spare guest portion of the house .
Mrs J stayed for a month until she left with a note to her Daughter “ Thank you “ !!
. Mrs J these days is still with us but not with us . THAT DAY she dissolved back into the universe !!
so Anyway, I’ve another train coming so I’d better go and pull a signal lever !!!
I Look at the passengers faces as the train passes by, some have their heads in their phones , some stare emotionless out of the window , lost in their thoughts as life takes them on an individual journey of lost lioves, love, despair, anger , worry , contentment.
It’s a journey we all must make …God speed to you all ❤️🙏
This is a treasure trove of the journey as we age. I am so impressed so breast so saddened and yet light hearted to read this I know that my own journey may come to an end in the next 10 years or so I am so impressed so breast so saddened and yet light hearted to read this I know that my own journey may come to an end in the next 10 years or so And I am ever so grateful to have stories and tales of that journey before me now as I contemplate contemplate how long I will stay in a home that is 2 stories stories 2 and a 1/2 22 and a 1/2 baz and 2 more bedrooms et cetera et cetera! ,! Must find a way to keep this so that I can refer to it and read it often and I and I may read it to other people that I say other people that I think would respond well.😘🙃😇😬Let me know what you think !🙃
That was beautiful, you're a writer at heart, maybe you should pursue getting published! Best wishes 👍💥🙏
Thanks for sharing your creation. You are in just the right place, wherever you are.

Thank you for your kind words, my mother was a writer and English school teacher , she always used to say “ write what you know about” this passage I wrote is 90% true, the only bit I added from my imagination was his wife Mrs J. It fills me with such love that I’ve reached out to you and you felt you had to write back . We are all here for a short time and the best way in my opinion is to be kind to others and our beautiful planet 🙏❤️
@@melissabenson6749
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
That is really beautiful. I would have to put a rail on the loft.
Good idea to add the ramp to the door.
What a clever take on a container home! It blends into the landscape so beautifully
It absolutely does! We love the PNW vibes of this design 😍
Love this! So beautiful. The only thing I would do is put a half wall over to the ladder.
Great idea! This could allow for more flexibility in the loft layout too and add some privacy
This is super! I might eventually do a narrow spiral up to that loft, but everyone will have their own ideas. Very attractive.
Yes! A spiral staircase would be excellent
The fan sounds like a great idea. This seems very well thought out, lovely and comfortable. Thanks for sharing!
Your Tiny is really nice. Thank you for the showing. I want a tiny container home, too.
What an amazing container home! I loved how the owner said it was so efficient in its energy usage. Another great video guys!
Thank you Dora!
While not exactly 'tiny', this is a beautifully built container home. All the exposed wood gives it a warm feeling. And there's plenty of connection with the outdoors through the windows. My one criticism has to do with the loft. There's no barrier to keep a person from falling off the edge. And the ladder that leads up to the loft, while undoubtedly strong, seems to me to be sharp-edged and pointy; including the anchoring bolts on the floor. I'm uncomfortable with the ladder, and feel like it could cause accidents.
Almost tiny at 586 sqft! 😄 A railing would be an excellent addition. It exceptionally sturdy and doesn’t move at all when climbing up but room for improvement for sure
I wholeheartedly agree that this construction using containers and a go between breezeway is a truly nice build.
However I must agree as well that the "ladder" to the loft is a terrible accident waiting to happen 😳 😬.
Please reconsider removing the small point and extending the right-side one to meet up in perhaps a circular way without any sharp or jagged edges. 🤔
It would be awful for a stumble to end up with someone being impaled and perhaps not making it. 😪
I know you wouldn't want that on your conscience. 😉
Yeah, that’s definitely tiny
Agree on ladder❗️
I'm thinking someone who makes those will volunteer a drawing or two
Wow I love the color on the outside, this looks so cozy!
I live the way this came out. The standard tiny hone that one thinks of when they hear those two words are becoming stale in design and yours is fresh, new , and more set up to allow for more families to potentially consider making that switch. It looks like a home that can be enjoyed for years to come.:) congratulations to you and your wife. Well done!
Great video and love the idea of 2 containers and a build out in between. Really nice, thanks for sharing
☺️✨
I'm a big fan of this, it's GORGEOUS !!!
Just fabulous !!
It is one of our very favorite small container home designs 💓
This home is very smart looking. I really like the addition of the stick portion between the two containers. The additional outdoor space attached is nice as well. It's great that you were able to tie all the utilities/services to the main house.
Love your container home! Beautifully designed with lovely wood features, layout, and homey feel. I'd love to live in it permanently. Jenny
Hello Jenny, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Absolutely beautiful. It fits the surroundings so well. I would add a round table for dining right in the middle between living room and kitchen-with 4 small Ikea folding chairs brought out as needed. I saw the IKEA style folding table in the kitchen but a round table could be as I described and used as a place to do crafts, use a computer, work on puzzles...place books for guests and have an ever hanging centerpiece in the middle of the table. They could make their money back renting it out for short stays.
Love the round table idea! 😊✨
I don’t think they’re too worried about making their money back.. I think for them it’s an extension of their home for family and friends to stay.. but I could obviously be wrong.
What a beautiful home. Well thought out, beautifully designed and smart. Thank you for sharing.
This a really nice Container home.
I guess if money is no object, it sounds reasonable, but from where I'm standing.....not so much. I hope you enjoy many family nights there.
Totally understandable. It’s definitely less than building a stick built house of the same size. But definitely not the cheap 😁
True the normal family is going tiny to save money ! If I was speed that amount I would have a 4 or 5 bedroom and 2 and 1/2 bath's! Teena
Love this idea … I know from experience the safety of the loft would be a priority to me and a spiral stair instead only because if someone was to trip that ladder looks very sharp and scary! But I love the idea of this what a beautiful place !!!
Love it. Love the light, the two levels and open concept make it feel large. Well planned and thought out.. I also like the setting looks very natural. I'd be very happy living there. Thanks for sharing.
It certainly lives much larger than it’s 586 sqft! 😁☺️
I love this! And what a beautiful location!
It’s our favorite small container home design yet! 😊
Very cozy beautiful tiny home thanks for sharing god bless stay safe 🙏 ❤️
Very nicely done!
Wonderful design and great use of space!
I really like the concept & results! Small detail I noticed is the electrical plug ins in the living room where they are situated and the white covers. That I would paint the same color as the wall. Little details ..... Beautiful home!
Looks nice, but as far as I understood from defrent people who tried container homes, can be a strugle ( with good insolation even ) in the summer and winter at some temperatures !!! Is a must for good ventilation and a ton of money for cooling and heating !!! I don ' know the climate there and how it works and I think even the owner doesn't know ( it is still in process of finishing ). I hope everything turns out as expected because is about a lot of money for a container-type guest home !!!! Good luck !!!
We’ve heard that too, but that’s not the case with Relevant Buildings’ container homes (who built this one) because of extensive engineering they put into, their building code compliance, the high-end spray foam they use, and high-quality air exchange system they install. But this is not the case for many DIYers and other “professional” builders.
@@TinyHouseExpedition Yes, closed-cell foam is amazingly efficient.
Hello Lucia, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
This home is beautiful and Not so small.
What a beautiful home!🥰
Love the open living space , beautifully designed love the large windows. as for the ladder to the loft I myself would prefer one that goes up out of the way hooked up to a pulley system so I could have larger steps. nice and bright love it. here in Ontario we can get containers for about 1000 to 2000. . but to have them fully constructed inside is awesome .
Thank you again to both of you for another amazing video! For sure it's a growing number of people who get inspired by opening their horizons 🙏💛
Most welcome! 🥰 The more small & tiny house options, the merrier ✨
Beautiful container home ! A mini mansion.
What a beautiful home
Beautifully decorated and cozy for 20' containers. The cost was extremely high though.
Beautiful home.
Love this!
Love it !❤
That home is super cool!❤️🇳🇿
Wonderful video. Thank You For Sharing. Have a Good Day!❤👍
Appreciate it! 😊
Very Beautiful small home but I say it again that one little thing half half wall or railing and some kind of better steps I'm scared of heights and falling but I'm soooo in Love with you and your wife home just adorable and beautiful 😍 💖 I could see myself living in it y'all did a Great Job 👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
That’s so cute!!
I'd rethink that ladder. That hand grip looks like a blade out in the open that could impale someone.
It's all very nice, just one thought...standing in the loft talking to someone with your back to the drop behind you, and you inadvertently step back, or you have a couple of quiet drinks one night and get up during the night, etc.
So many possibilities, And sooo easy to fall over the ledge.
Beautiful house
Love container homes
I live in an 11' wide X 18' long studio and it's not big enough. Anything not as wide would be claustrophobic! Most tiny houses on wheels are less than 9' wide.
This is a truly gorgeous space but it seems to be very costly for what it is.
It is pricey but more durable & less expensive than building a stick built house of the same size.
Very nice
Hello Tammy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
Soooooooooo beautiful, I would love to stay here.
Riiight ❤❤
I like most of the design, with the exception of the ladder & no closure for the bedroom. I'd want stairs.
There’s plenty of room for stairs. Really like the idea of a spiral staircase here to retain some openness 🤔
@@TinyHouseExpedition There's a company in Ohio that makes a THOW called the maverick. The stairs go up behind the bathroom & enters the BR Loft from the back wall. It's en loved, and the wall for the side that essentially overlooks the rest of the tiny house, is shelving, except over the bed it has a window that can be opened or closed for airflow and or privacy. 2 side windows & a skylight. I really like that enclosed but open concept. I would slso add a rooftop deck w this.
@@tjh4115 can’t wait to check that out! And great idea on the rooftop deck 😄
It's really nice home.

You could've built a safe staircase and a railing in the loft so nobody falls down during a nightmare 🤔🤣
Well, it’s something you could do if you have one of these built 😊
I agree. As a guest house this is very dangerous! Waking up in the middle of the night, & not being fully awake to remember they’re not in Kansas anymore… Actually, the ‘Twisters’ scene where the metal post flies through the windshield came to mind immediately! Also, a railing for the high rollers😂 It’s called ‘Risk Management’.
@@diggyrat So True!!!!
That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the layout of the bed vs. the ledge. It can be simple in design and not take up too much 'eye space', but at the same time provide assurance that no one can get hurt.
I love this and this what for my daughter & I. I need all the door to be 36" wide because sometimes I'm in a wheelchair. I would.like the extended out a.little more for a closet and drawers. And yes I would add a rail be cause my daughter loves her fairy lights. I do not the color scheme in black & yellow. I would want all the cabin jets to be in blue & white wood. I'm not sure how I would change the ladder. I love in the front entrance is slant so the Walker or wheelchair will be fine. It looks like I might be doing this around Bend Oregon. Would it be cheaper to another small container for a garage or just build a separate on. Because of all the snow. I would like to have it done right now but I'm still saving up funds.
What system did they use to pull fresh air in? I worry about this and that's a great idea.
A kind of energy recovery ventilation system (ERV) but unfortunately don’t know which brand or specific model. More about ERVs: www.buildwithrise.com/products/mechanical-energy-and-water/ventilation/energy-saving-ventilation-system/energy-recovery-ventilator-erv
This is Gonna b so Good THE🔥🔥🔥👍….
😘
Very interested in how you got around Oregon's 40 acre rule for a guest house. Do tell!
ADU requirements vary quite a bit by city and county in Oregon it seems, but allowed in enough smaller properties!
I’d live in it no prob cool vid 🇨🇦
🤘😁
200k dang
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching Judi! ✨
With that much space, why not put in stairs going up to the loft instead of a ladder?! 😊👍🏻
200K for less than 600 sq ft??? lol Insane.
Thank goodness they didn't have to pay for property or separate utilities, or the price would've jumped to near 300k.
Definitely would have been more but less than building it all stick built because of how high lumber prices are
A very beautiful guest home. I would just put up some railing in the loft. An accident waiting to happen.
We’ve slept in a loft with no railing in our tiny house for 6.5 years without incident. But being a clumsy person, I would prefer a ladder with larger steps and built in handrail
I wonder what the price would have been to build a complete house on that foundation.. (instead of the 2 shipping containers. ).. would be nice to compare costs.. wonder if the owner looked into that?
Good question! Based on how high lumber & other building material costs were when he had this built, it likely would have been much more expensive
It's so efficient compared to our other homeS.
Hmm?
Struck me funny.
He’s talking about it’s high energy efficiency compared to other homes, especially larger houses & older houses. This is part it’s tight building envelope & high-end spray foam insulation. Also smaller space to heat & cool helps. Bob is also a big fan of its space efficiency too 😁
That lift area is dangerous without a rail! Didn't it have to meet building codes???
I never saw a 2 foot wide shipping container home, as noted in your title "2x20ft Shipping Container Home." So you mean using 2 shipping containers that were 8x20 feet long. OK. Very nice build and video.
2x was meant to denote that there are two 20ft containers used, but I suppose the x is unnecessary or we could have put space between the x and 20ft. We can see how that could be confusing but think most people understand what we mean. 🙃 More on the multiple meanings of “2x”: www.allacronyms.com/2X
where is Roseburg???
In Oregon 😊
What is the name of the company that he bought the containers from?
Relevant Building Company 😊 link to this model in the description
Nice except for the ladder thing.Kind of safety concerns for elderly people to go 'up the ladder'.
It has the two bedrooms only?
Yes, but Relevant Buildings offers this style, the De Lux, in a couple bigger sizes for 3-4 bedrooms 😊
Hello Rita, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus?
@@Trevorjennings679 I had an excellent day. Receiving birthday wishes from friends, acquaintances and family. Had a good visit with my sister and a late lunch and good conversation.
@@ritabroils6190 congratulations Rita, happy birthday 😊. I hope your day is going well?
@@Trevorjennings679 Yep!
Please I beg you to add a half wall to your loft so no one falls down out of your lovely lofted guest home. I know of a woman who fell out of her loft & broke her pelvis. Fortunately, she survived but you can imagine what she had to do to get back to semi-normal. Still experiences a good deal of pain on a daily basis. She put up a 1/2 wall & uses for some books & clothes storage too. That said I love this home & I don’t think the 1/2 wall would interfere w/cooling the loft thnx to the ceiling fan & a/c.
I’d also make the steps on the ladder deeper so they don’t hurt anyone’s feet. The woman who broke her pelvis had an alternative bed area downstairs that she often used after her fall; she’s 73 btw!! Glad you have a full master downstairs.
That is terrible!
Its nice, but it would want to be for 200k.
Insanely dangerous loft with no barrier at the edge.
it's a beautiful home. For those that are bashing the sticker price...yes, it's expensive. However, if they were to rent this out to vacationers they could easily get $100-$350 per night or monthy at say $3000. So, this is well worth the investment. If say they rent it out every day for a year at $100 = 36,000 + per year. Times just a few years and they have a return on their investment & will make 💰🤑 This is a cash postive cow tiny home 😊🐄🤠 Think outside the box. 🎁
Excellent points! And with lumber prices where they are, it would much more pricey to build this size house stick built.
Exactly!!!
At least it's not cookie cutter straight and narrow and you can make the bed standing up on both sides you can make the bed on one sides you don't have to reach over on the bed to make the rest of it, like some tiny homes ‼️ lm not crazy about that ‼️ you don't have to make the bed on your hands and knees either ,you can stand up and vacuum around, without any problem ‼️/you can also rearrange the furniture you can't do that in most so-called tiny homes I would call this a small home but not a tiny home ‼️
I'd have to Air BNB that bad boy to recoup some of my cost
All in All, In this location, $200k was just an investment for this property.
Definitely not tiny--plus "guest house" means not really home, either. But nice for these 4-bedrooms folks with extended family to have another wing on their manse.
It’s 586 sqft so definitely pretty darn small but lives large! With all their kids & grandkids, they love having this guest home available and are very fortunate to be able to afford to do so. Their main house is definitely not a mansion, but definitely bigger.
Covid or no Covid, $150,000 for two 20 foot containers with some flooring 6 foot of countertop a toilet and a shower. Wow-- wow you paid a lot of money for your “efficiencies”
200,000 is nothing that's like the price of a f****** s***** trailer you know like a s******* trailer this is a sturdy home that is exceptionally low I'm going to build one in the backyard this is awesome this is exactly what I wanted to put in the backyard everything I need including I walk in closet I'd use the Loft as a bedroom and the downstairs bedroom is a closet that's absolutely perfect this is exactly what I was envisioned in the backyard
2x20??? 2 each 20ft container, most likely 8 ft wide.
I thought the same. 12x20?
Good question! The 20-ft long containers are 8-ft wide each, and the site-built "bridge" is 10-ft wide and 12-ft tall. So 26-feet wide total
Way too overpriced to not have a railing to prevent loft accidents and such.
As someone who works with people experiencing homelessness I have to say guest homes drive me crazy. It’s so wasteful to have homes that just sit empty most of the time.
You have a beautiful home addition. When people come to visit or great if you need a mother in law tiny home. ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We can understand that. The fact is we have another available housing for most if we shared our spaces more with those in need but unfortunately doesn’t seem likely. We love this 5-year program is Seattle where homeowners signup to have an accessory dwelling unit in their backyard for someone transitioning out of homelessness. Hope that takes off more places!
I assume you take in homeless people into your home regularly?
This video is not about homelessness, which is a huge problem, and these lovely people shouldn’t feel guilty for providing a guest home for their family. Geez.
From someone who has also worked with homeless people for years, and has had homeless family members ✌🏻
I don't like the bedroom make it more cozy close it up partially! Put a TV pillows something to put your clothes!
The owner did say the bedrooms are still "a work in progress" he said he needed to hang pics downstairs bdrm & a bureau for the loft!

Like $200k - $250k tiny home 😂😂😂 , that was built for them to show off, Nothing more.
for their family to use 🙃
Love this! So beautiful. The only thing I would do is put a half wall over to the ladder.
