- In this revisited episode, we are back with Evans and his incredible 20ft shipping container home. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been more than two years since we first visited Evans and his brilliantly designed 20ft shipping container home. As a retired boat builder, the level of craftsmanship and creativity in his home was truly impressive and now we are excited to be catching up with him again to see how it’s all working out years on.

Now in a new location his tiny container house has taken on a completely different look. It now sits as part of a small complex of 3, 20ft shipping container where one is a home, one an office and the other a workshop. With some landscaping and construction of a wonderful veranda with some impressive views, this shipping container has been completely transformed into a home.
Evans is now working on an exciting affordable home’s project to help others who are interested in building shipping container homes. To find out more, visit his website: c-space-solutions.com/

Bryce, it's TOTALLY time for another 2 year update! Can't wait to see it!!!!!!!
Wondering if he’s made his final move yet or built the veranda… would still love to see an update Brice, thanks again for all you do!
This dude is needs his own series on how to build these nice looking containers! So cool!
He sure does! Evans really knows his stuff. He is truly one of those guys that can just tackle any challenge.
I love Adam savages "tested" canal but he has people run that part.
@sodakproud @livingbiginatinyhouse
Seriously. I had been eagerly waiting for this update. I have sooo many build detail questions. It really would be great if Evans had his own CZcams channel and/or a paid tutorial.
He is just so talented and clearly able to make an appealing home for whatever circumstances may be. I'd watch his videos in an instant.
@@crispincrunch2453 I was thinking the very same thing. This man has the real deal and I would love to pick his brain! It's nice to see a person so relaxed. I am envious to say the least. I could do this fairly easily. I'm a Union carpenter here in the states, but man it would be nice to have the plans to this type of set up!
Evans is extremely talented and man does it show through - in spades. I admire his desire to pass along his knowledge to others that don''t have the means to afford a 'real' home but shows them a very workable alternative - the shipping container. I applaud him for what he's doing. Thanks so much Bryce, you're always full of surprises. Take care my friend. ;)
Thanks Charles! For sure, Evans is really dedicated to helping people find more affordable housing options. Glad you enjoyed this tour mate! Take care!

What does LO mean?
i so agree
I know Evans loved his wife very much and cherishes her memory. From the photo we saw, we can see that she was a sweet and beautiful woman.
Still, I hope one day he will find a nice woman to share his life with. Maybe he is perfectly happy alone, but that one chair on the balcony made me a little sad.
I felt the same too. 😪 He says it will be too crowded for two people. I just hope he doesn't feel lonely.
I felt the same!
Lots and lots of us older folks are single. It's probably preferable to have a partner, but it's no cause for sadness if one doesn't.
I could also see this man's sadness but I think it's this good kind of sadness you know? the one that comes with peace as well. I do not feel sorry for him in any way. He filled my heart.
This is clearly a bachelor space. A woman would interfere. (OK - I would. Because that chair, no! Also - sleeping in the kitchen - typical man idea, lol.) But he seems to be in such a good spot in life, enjoying himself. Finding a soulmate is never a given and if you are not happy with yourself, another person can only try (and probably fail) to fill a gap that you should work on.
This actually brings me to tears. Evan is speaking to my heart - my husband and myself have found ourselves renting again in our 50's and have worked so hard all our married life. Thank you Bryce for what you do and the genuine interest and care you give to the people you showcase. I look forward, and hope beyond hope, that Evan does manage to build these homes. Because we can then have a home again.
I've wanted to live in a tiny house since I was 16 and have gone between a bus and a shipping container a car and a van. I finally decided on a wooden modified yurt for a while and then later on I'm going to build a 2 story shipping container with a pantry so I'll never feel the worry of homelessness again. I'm going to make my own home very very soon.
Your yurt home sounds wonderful. I wish you all the best with your journey.
@@livingbig well thank you!
Good luck, sounds like you have a good grip on attaining your dream.
Marissa Ward I wish you the best of luck and hope you never have to face homelessness again. It's a real problem here in the US and I hope there a viable solutions to that problem. No one should have to live on the streets ever.
I wish you all the best with your project! 🌺
Bryce, I believe you have become the premier tiny house media presenter of quality introduction to wonderful and fantastic "all walks of life" tiny homes and alternate living snapshots. You have my go to videos for dreams and visions of what is possible. Thank you for your work and your vision. I would love to meet you should your path come near enough to me in Virginia anytime in the present or future.
Thank you so much for this wonderful comment! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos. 😀
OldManGlitch Absolutely agree!
@@livingbig Kudos to your camera-gal, too...................!
I love this man! His philosophy of life is inspiring. I wish him a happy and healthy future xx
For sure! He is such a positive, solution focused guy.
Yeah if you like methyl bromide and other chemicals leaching out of the floor and walls for years to come.
@@throughput6674 i love your positivity
@@johnlenin1033 hey if you don't have a problem breathing and all those chemicals be my guest and buy an old shipping container to live in.
Sometimes the truth is a bitter pill to swallow
Evans is a very kind man. He know the struggles of people who cannot afford a roof over their heads.
Loved the container home, loved the guy. Am I the only one thinking this channel is NOT about the tiny houses, but about the beautiful people living in them ?
Great update Bryce! Evans is very talented and his desire to provide ideas for affordable homes for people deserves a great platform like your channel. Keep up the good work and hope to see another update in the future.
Thanks so much Matt! I'm so happy that this channel is able to be a platform for people like Evans to share his ideas. Thanks for watching!
Bryce, thanks for all your great vids. You are a fine young man and doing a great service.
Thank you!
Keep track of this fellow! He has a great wealth of knowledge and his attitude is perfect for this movement. His mindfulness and craftsmanship make the tiny home and container home a thing of beauty, not just a utilitarian effort. Way to go Evans! And way to go LBiaTH!
Thank you! And we certainly will. Hopefully we will be filming an episode with Evans again in the future once he has further expanded his home.
I would love to live this lifestyle!!! But, as other fans have commented, it's so difficult to do this in the UK. But, I live vicariously through all the amazing people on this channel. This channel is my favourite 'waste of a day' on CZcams!!!! Thank you Bryce x
I absolutely love Evan's creativity!!! His art on the wood work is phenomenal!!! His art is so realistic!!!! A home made with love. Well done 👍 Bryce you didn't let us down in showcasing an amazing home and it's owner!!!
Thanks Louise!!! :)
Thanks for yet another great story Bryce...wishing Evans all the best after his heart attack which must have been terrifying for him...after watching this video about container homes the possibilities really are endless 🙂
Thanks Terri-Anne! Glad you enjoyed the episode and thanks for your best wishes to Evans. :)
What a good spirit Evans has. I wish him the perfect spot in the bush for his forever home. 🌿🕊️💕🌎
What an amazing gentleman. He has a great outlook on life. He has a remarkable sense of humor. I hope he has children and they come and check on him. I just love him. All the best to you sir.
I've seen many container homes that lean towards the modern/industrial designs all around but I absolutely love how he brings in these natural elements. The natural wood, the fossils, the styling... awesome. Really blends well and turns this into something completely different. And this man just radiates with love for what this is to him. Really great video, Bryce. Thank you for bringing us these stories and these people. These videos have a knack for showing the personality these people have put into their homes and it's not something you see anywhere else.
Yes!!!! The container homes are back. This boat Designer is awesome. Thank YOU BRYCE!!!
We've got a few more container homes coming up on the channel. They are becoming very popular in New Zealand and Australia. You're very welcome and thanks for watching!
Since he's a boat builder, he has the advantage of knowing how to take advantage of every bit of space. I really enjoyed seeing how different the inside was from the outside metal container. It was quite a surprise. Personally I would need double the amount of space, but if I was able to even think I could go the route of container living, I would want this man to design it for me!
Evans said something like "Some people have done the right thing all their life, but have encountered bad luck." I really hope those people are prioritized to get all the assistance they require and are able to again experience the blessings of having lived wisely. I love how Evans bounced back after his heart attack, but not everyone is as resilient as Evans.
Something about this gentleman tugs at the heart strings. I look forward to another update 💓
For sure. He is such a genuine and nice guy. Looking forward to seeing where his journey leads!
Thank you Bryce for taking us back to Evans. He has my sense of humor so I know it's a good one 🤓
May God bless you in your travels and keep you safe.
I love this ol fart :) I love his heart and how he wants to help others. I also love all of the containers, his poster
f-arts, and his wood art. May God bless him and keep him safe.
Bryce...who would have thought that a hunk of metal used for shipping overseas would provide such a stellar alternative to conventional homes! Combined with the converted school buses, I feel like I'm 20-something again, wearing my peace belt and red bandana back in the 70s! What we were laughed at back then, is suddenly of prime interest. Not only do I love it, but I have no problem following along with all these amazing concepts.
This is By far one of the best,
Living Big In tiny house.
Evans thinks way beyond himself, for others who need affordable housing. His home is beautiful and versatile. Loved the water filters. I'd love to own one of his home containers...
I cant believe its over 2 years?!?! Where has the time gone? This is an amazing change, I want it! :)
I know. It's scary how fast time moves. I can hardly believe its more than 5 years since I started this channel now!
Living Big In A Tiny Compound. I love it! Really glad we got to see him expand after the first video.
Yeah! We are hoping to do more of these revisited episodes, as it's so nice to catch up with people from the early days of the channel and see how they are getting on. Evans is such a great guy and it's so cool to see how he has expanded his home.
i like the owners way of thinking, he confirms that some people are just unlucky still they deserve something from life, i like that.
Another Tiny House video that's good for the soul. Thank you
The house is looking even better than before!! Watching the video makes us anxious to finish our and move in!! hehehehe 😃
Great to see that even in a smaller place it's possible to have things like a work shed and also be able to extend if things in life change and you want more to your tiny home. As a guy that's lost Everything to divorce and still having children to help start their lives, it's a ray of light in the dark seeing someone who's taken the time to think of others like myself that are somewhat homeless. Great job Evan mate. Would love to meet you one day. Take care of yourself. Thanks Bryce
Evan, the ole FART has a beautiful BIG HEART !!!
This guy is a legend!
What a cool dude, love his craftsmanship, humor, and philosophy :D
Definitely worth it to buy Evans' book and support him! This affordably shipped starter home is a winner, especially with open container frames for add-ons. Even though I already live in a THOW, I admire this guy and his work. Now I just want a good source for 20' high-cube open-side
containers in the USA!
This guys is awesome and he totally gets it. People are struggling with never ending lifestyle inflation pushing people to spend 30%+ of their income on housing, and they need alternatives. There's also the sustainability factor which these homes address perfectly. Bravo!
This guy is awesome! I love his attitude towards the modern day housing problem, that will also hit hard in my generation.
The kitchen space and all the timber craft is just wow! Every space and fixtures are personally design to evans taste. Workspace on the ground floor is amazing and perfect also. But the best spot in Evans house is the veranda and the porch- perfect for morning, afternoon, and evening coffee and reading while enjoying nature and the view. It's just great
I really like the videos showing people who have built and lived long term in their tiny house.
Evans story is so inspiring to me. Even after suffering a heart attack he adapted and used his talents to continue doing great work in the world. Now, he is working hard on his affordable housing model where he has created a booklet to help people wanting to build container homes. If you’re thinking of building a shipping container home, it’s definitely one to check out! Get in touch with Evans via his website for more information. c-space-solutions.com/
Definitely my kind of home! As a textile artist/dyer/clothes designer/all round crafter, I need a studio to spread out and contain the mess apart from my living space, which can be very small. So this is really something I could live in
Sounds like this kind of set-up might be ideal for you!
I'm so pleased to see a follow up on this amazing man! Thank you Bryce. I applaud this man's ideas and principles, and he's changed how I view shipping containers as homes.
Evans is a real pioneer! Thank you Bryce for your return and always fine video!
Evans is a man who clearly wants to make a difference for the good of others. If only there were more like him on a global scale this world would be a far better place. Respect and admire his passion and vision and hope he gets to see it through entirely.
Bryce, this is wonderful. Thanks so much for finding tactful and professional ways to incorporate sponsorship into your videos; I get why it’s necessary but you do it in a way that really doesn’t annoy me. Your sponsors may like to know that the way you do this has me watch all the way through, and seriously consider the products you’ve partnered with.
Thank you Bryce for sharing this update. Evan is a magical cabinet maker.....I love all the inside wood work. The artwork is amazing....talk about making a pine timber beautiful ! I adore all the Lazar work on everything. Evan has a great sense of humor. I wish him well and hope he gets moved to the bush soon. Wishing you well also Bryce....when are you coming back to the states ? Have a wonderful weekend......
Thanks Maggie! Yeah, he is such a great person and definitely has a wicked sense of humour! We plan to be back in the states late April! So looking forward to more adventures there. :)
Just yesterday, Sept 2, 2019 , I saw the first part of this video. I asked what Evans planned on doing with 2 other shipping containers I saw in the first video. Thankfully, a viewer saw my comment and led me to this video. I see you have the link of that first video here but can you link this video on the first video? Absolutely outstanding work Evans has done with these containers. Also, as for Evans new “hobby” ARE YOU KIDDING ME? That’s a new career! He found something else to do since he was no longer able to do strenuous work after his heart attack. I’m so sorry to hear about the heart attack but so happy he found something he loves as a hobby. Phenomenal work, Evans!! He needs his own channel!!
WOW, what a great come back. He's living a great 👍life!
Magnificent workmanship and taste. He’s still my idol.
This guy and what he's doing, inspirational.
Evans has given me hope again. Thank you Evans. And thank you once again, Bryce.
What a beautiful and compassionate soul. His ideas will save lives. Love the house too! ❤️
"Stairway to Heaven" Evan Rocks ❤️💜💚💛💙
Evans is the modern day Renaissance man. Such quality work he does, creative, innovative and inspiring. Live long and prosper Sir!
The cabinet with a dish rack base above the sink is a fabulous idea that I´d forgotten all about. Many homes in Spain have that, too.
Brilliant. I love what Evan said about people not able to afford homes and that's why he's doing this. I hope he takes care of his health so he can continue on!!!
Hello sheila
@@garypeterson2921 Hi there Gary.
@@sheilayungk7815 How are you doing?
What a amazing guy. Not boring.
I'm from Pakistan.Big fan of your program.i'v learned so much from you & ppl u meet.
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoy the show and that you find it valuable. Thanks for watching! :)
Yes, it is interesting to "meet" these interesting people (with outstanding talent) around the world. (From Australia 😊)
Evans is a beautiful man. He has an amazing mind and then actually executes his vision. People like him are a treasure. It's great that someone so creative is able to share his creations with so many. I hope he is well appreciated in his circle.
I wish everyone would have Evans philosophy and make the world an affordable and better place
what a talented and compassionate person!
Who else loves when he says "is absolutely beautiful" it fells like it comes from his heart ?!
I always liked this original the most out of all the homes shown in this series, because not making cuts in the shipping container is a real game changer. Sure makes meeting Engineering specifications easier too. We were interested because we wanted a house in a cyclone prone area that we can lock up and make vermin proof as well for when we are away for long periods of time travelling. Great to see how simple it is to stack them this time around. Be interested in seeing what he does with building these for others.
this guy is a true Master . the single container was impressive enough
What a beautiful soul this man has 😌 God bless his heart. Wish him a happy and healthy life!
Evan sounds like a top bloke with a solid work effort! We need more people like him out there.
I watched Evans first video repeatedly, such a thoughtful well planned design. I'm glad to see another installment of his genius! Keep up the good work, Bryce. Love the channel, dude!
What's a genuinely nice guy Evans is!
What a great guy. Setting his time and energy into his craft allows him to carry on and not sit at home depressed.
Seriously Impressive! Talent & a good heart. Thank you Bryce for a great interview.
Three days ago I was watching his first video and now you post this update.... awesome!!!
Love his MEME collection!
This has spoken to me so very deeply at the moment, particularly the comments Evans made near the end about the elderly who have "Done all the right things, all their lives, and still despite the negative impacts which life can offer, "those who have been UNLUCKY, still deserve a place to live. This makes me want to believe again. How can we get this moving in the US.
Mr Bruce I like your programme very much and watched most of videos,this programme is great and provide many new ideas about small housing projects,from Pakistan.
Thank-you very much! Glad you're enjoying our videos.
Brilliant. Thanks for the revisit Bryce, and glad to see you're faring well Evans, despite the heart attack! I look forward to seeing the next revisit.
This is remarkable! The interior is probably the most beautiful I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Bryce! Hello Rasa! 🤗 Thanks for the follow-up visit with Evans! 👍😎👍
Hello Evans! Your container homes would be amazing to put into practice for the ideas you've yet again inspired! I'm sorry to hear of your heart attack, but I'm so glad to see you're up and around and keeping busy!
🖤🦇
Hey Batty! Thanks mate! Yeah it was great to catch up with Evans and see how he is getting on. Hope you're well dude!
@@livingbig doing great! leaving the comfort of my tiny house soon to go make dinner for a friend and do some laundry... 🤓 Living the dream my friend, loving the dream!
🖤🦇
This is a super useful video as it’s what we want to do when we eventually finish living the vanlife. I love seeing how other people have tackled shipping container living; Evans passion and dedication to his tiny home is second to none, and we can all learn a little something about alternative living from him. Thanks for sharing. Seb
Yay! So glad you got a sponsor! Don’t listen to any viewer who might shame you for a sponsor. You need to get that coin!
That's very clever, the bed above the sofa.. Clears the space for more convinience.
I feel emotional with this episode. Thank you to this home owner. Goodluck on his future projects.
I love how complex and unique his house is. It's enchanting. I loved his first video as well years ago.
This guy's home is particularly inspiring to me. I wish you'd do a video on odd style shipping containers, so we can see what's available on the market.
We have some other great container home videos coming up!
Evans' wood artistry is a joy to behold...the etchings are a fabulous addition to the clever use of the containers. Thanks again for keeping us updated, Bryce and Rasa!
love this and love his philosophy. Imagine a world of him and others that have soul and empathy. Well done Bryce your show always gives me hope and inspiration for my life and that of humankind.
It was so nice revisiting Evans' updated home! Such a resourceful man, and I wish him good health so he can continue all his plans ~ Blessings!
I love this design, especially the entry porch and the deck. Plus the original bedroom, which is now a guest bedroom or simply a nap room. Just love this. This is what I'm planning on doing.
I love that he‘s working on affordable housing modells!! Thank you Evan!
Hello Bina
Ah I loved this guys house! I'm glad to see him again, he's so down to earth and funny.
An amazing home!! Evans is very talented, I actually remember the first one and definitely he has made some good improvements on his home. Great stuff!
He’s absolutely right, all retirees need a dissent place to live. 💯 % IN AGREEMENT.
I love being able to see him again! God bless him and his health 😙 Thank you Bryce for the video and the information about cyber security.
I love his container setup, so genius. He's a hoot, too boot!😁
Thank you Bryce for introducing me to tiny houses. An amazing concept and brilliant to see all the different realisations. I really like this update and revisit to Evans.
Evans seems like such a lovely and inventive man, with a good sense of humor to boot!
Inspiring video, as always.
Indeed!when heart rules the mind, miracles happen! Be blessed!
I love the details in his space,the bush walk is also fantastic. Beautiful view from the living container.Thank you Bryce.
I literally just saw the initial build last week while scrolling down your previous videos... Wow! This is incredible!
What a stunning pair of blue eyes! I love the artwork. You are totally awesome!
