@@ianstradian I know the feeling. We rescued all but one of our pets. At one time we had 5 dogs and 4 cats, all living in a 2 bedroom house with us.The cats had the front bedroom all to themselves One cat lived to be almost 21. We lost 3 pets in one year, because they were old or got sick, and it hurts everytime, but the love we got back from all of them helped ease that pain. Now we just have 4 dogs----three terriers and a chocolate lab. They're our furry kids.
It was so tough watching Levi struggle on those stairs. What a great and loyal friend he is. Dogs remind us of our own mortality, because we can watch their whole lifespan in what feels like the blink of an eye. I hope to keep seeing him in these videos, but know it can't last forever 💔
It's sad to say, but he did the right thing getting Kody while Levi is still with us, as it will lessen the blow of Levis eventual passing ever so slightly. It still makes me sad thinking about my dogs that died over the years, but they are a joy to have in your life, and that's the price you have to pay. I heard a story about a man who had black Labs. When one died he got anoth and gave it the same name treating it like the same dog. His way of coping I guess.
@@TrevorDennis100 getting a puppy while Levi is still with us has probably added a few more to Levi's life, he can relax a little but he also has company to keep him young.
Love how it came out! You have to paint the roof or the rusty water is just gonna run off and splash on everything below. plus it will repel the water off the roof faster without settling on the iron. Like this comment if you think Andrew Should Paint the Roof!!
If the roof doesn't get painted, it will rust through or even de-laminate in time. I'd hate to try finding a pinhole rust point in all those welded seams to stop a small leak in years ahead. All that would take some years to happen though.
I think Andrew should paint the roof. If it was copper it would form a green patina and be stable but the iron will keep on rusting and pinholes will eventually appear on the surface over time. That’s why they paint cars and tractors etc.
Andrew, I just found out I'm dying of mesothelioma and I hope they have you tube in the next life as you have brought me many hours of pleasure. What a wonderful castle and I will miss it!
I don't know this desease. I really hope that this don't happen with you yet, and i believe you can always face a miracle. But if really is your time, i'm totally sure that there is something wonderful awaiting for us out there.
thats heartbreaking but hey man, if u can and andrew agrees you can go visit him and work on some projects before it's your time. just a thought. i do hope ur disease is curable.
My dad has had it over 20 years and manages it well with a few pills . One is to keep him from coughing. Brother has MS and yes taking it's toll but like our dad both should have perished years ago .Hang in there and keep shopping for a better answer
It what he basically does for a job he getting paid to do this from his channel and probably pretty good at that. I wish I could be getting paid to build my house and property.
Arthur Balls what are you talking about old man all I said is this is what he does. He makes most of his money from u tube. He doesn’t do a lot of outside work because he doesn’t have to because he is doing so well from his channel. I wasn’t putting him down in no way. Most of these guys that have channels wish they were doing as well so they could do the same thing as him. He getting paid to do his home how great is that. You sounds like some 12 yr old coming to protect his idol it ok he can keep care of himself. Lol 😂
Hey Dave j...andrew hasn't been monetizing his videos for very long, granted he gets a load of views. I remember long time ago wondering why the hell isn't he trying...lol
I was thinking the same. I never gave my dog the crappy food they sell in walmart etc. I gave them very high quality food and few extras But the owner looks like he isnt eating much better with several cans of Chef Boyardee. Please buy him good food
And the money shot? Drone shot of you sitting on roof. It said, “This man has designed, created, built, and paid for this amazing property. To me it really illustrated just what amazing things one determined and talented person can achieve.
The only problem with leaving the roof left to rust, is that when it rains all the rust stains will go on the floors, walls, of the lower floors and walls, making a mess and not very nice to look at.
Yes indeed. And if it gets painted, I recommend white. Summer when sun is shining, it will make pretty huge difference about the temperature inside. Between light gray and white it is few degrees.
Long after us, Andrew’s castle will become a tourist attraction, ppl will still be visiting his castle 300 yrs from now when it’s still standing strong! LoL In Arizona they have a tourist attraction called “mystery castle”. A man was forced to leave his family behind and relocate to Arizona after being diagnosed with TB. At the time it was a death sentence, so he decided to spend his remaining time building his daughter a castle. The castles anything but ordinary, it’s definitely worth a visit if you get the chance. The backstories just as interesting as the castle itself.
Ive been thinking the same thing lol... if many years down the road a demo crew comes to clear his property... they will be cursing his name for a long time haha
Its important to elevate their water too. When its on the ground they swallow too much air trying to get the water down which leads to gastric problems.
Great Work Andrew! Just a suggestion: Get a piece of 2in or 3 in x 10ft or 15ft pipe and make a really nice flag pole welded on your rooftop and light it up to be seen clearly at night.
Hey Andrew, I just realized something about watching your videos - I never fast forward through any of yours like I typically do with just about everybody else's. Good stuff!
love it great job. my opinion i would paint the roof just because i would not want the rust from the roof all over the side of my building . just my opinion ...
God job bro!!!! You have done an amazing job on building the castle!! It has been a pleasure watching the progress of you building this place and what some hard work and dedication can do when you just DO IT!! Your videos have motivated me to get out there and not only start new projects but to finish old ones I lost the love for!!
Came out awesome I would paint the roof though only cause eventually when it starts to rust it’s gonna run down the sides of the building an look like a mess
Andrew great job from beginning to end love what you have done with some "steel boxes". I look forward to see what you get up to with your castle over the coming years.
What a blessing to have a wonderful friend like Levi for 14 years. I hope he is around for a few more but I did feel for him coming up all those stairs. I'm happy that he has Cody to keep him company and keep him going too. BTW I think I would paint the roof or coat it with some kind of roof seaalant. Love your videos. John
Yes, I would vote to prep, prime and paint the roof - prob 2x coats - should make it hold up better - and no rust stains on the ground or on the side of your strong castle!
Also don't forget that a white roof will reflect sun energy back up into the atmosphere, helping avoid climate warming. An even more advanced solution could be to plant greenery on the roof because that will simulate having no building there at all. You may even attract bees and help your local biodiversity and lifecycles.
Period-correct castles used yellow or pink limestone, so if you wanted it to be more castle-like, you could use the yellowish limestone colour and get probably lots of the benefits of having a white roof.
Lovely job Andrew! I have always wanted to take up welding and you have given me the inspiration to get stuck in and have a go. Thanks and best wishes to Levi & Cody.
One of man's greatest pleasures is to look at something and say "I built that." Your property has gone through an amazing transformation since the first rough trail to the hillside. Looks like an amazing place to work/live and enjoy.
Mr. Andrew I have watched you from the beginning and you have done such an amazing job on your home and shop you truly have a castle for you and your wife.
Hey I watch every video and I believe you are doing a great job. Here’s an idea for your new roof. Instead of steel walls put up glass walls. Check out your local glass installation places and see if they have glass that was ordered for a project that changed and now they are stuck with the obsolete glass. It happens all the time.
Consider: Epoxy Garage floor coatings, Textured rubber bed liner coatings or rust encapsulator coatings. Whatever, it is all looking tremendous. You have created a fantasy space to be admired. Bo.
Epoxy on exposed upper floors as well. I seem to remember you had a problem with condensation when heating your building, are you thinking about insulating those areas.
This container castle is how I found your channel! I enjoy watching stuff like this to the point were I don't get my own stuff done or drag my feet cause I'm watching awesome content like this!
@@ruk2023-- There are one pack polyurethane, non-slip finishes available,which are used on ship/boat decks,also various anti slip coatings & two pack epoxy anti slip for metal ramps,etc, so just need to research a suitable product out of the many available.I've done roofs where you applie one coat allow to dry, the apply second coat & while wet sprinkle fine sand on it for addtional grip.
One has to been watching Andrew and his cadre of friends work on the Container Castle from beginning to finish painting to really appreciate the work ethic involved.Andrew had an idea, a dream, and he and they worked their collective butts off to accomplish the structure. To have watched them as they erected the steel framing for the roof was for me a knuckle knawing time.He and they deserve a design award in the calibre of the Pritzker. Plus a trophy from a national welding association. Andrew, many thanks to you for the many hours you put into the production of the build.and the pleasure it gave to me to watch it slowly take shape. An idea for a next project......an elevator for Levi.
Andrew - Thank you for taking time to show us your work. When we meet here - Levi was younger. You clearly had a vision and containers are a marvelous structure to work with. Cheers
Andrew, I don't know how you knew (when I didn't even know until now) but it seems you have built MY dream house, and placed it in a very beautiful setting. I absolutely love what you have created -- great job!
@@robertgreg7273 I thought the same thing! And he needs some softer food. Andrew is going to have a hard time when he loses Levi. My heart already hurts for him. Hopefully we will get a tribute video of Levi. Labs and awesome dogs. I've had 4 myself.
@@robertgreg7273 Agree. My comments above reflect that something needs to be done to assist the larger dog negotiate the difficult spiral stairs to the next level. Also think about the weight issue of the younger dog as this will be a repeat in the near future
I just bought a container after watching your videos for the past couple years. I’m making it into a small shop/shed. I was just about to get in my truck to go Lowe’s to get paint. I guess it could wait 20 mins....
@@ohPokey I agree. I thought about his teeth (and mine) ten minutes ago. He requires softer food than the biscuits perhaps. Certainly no bones for the old chap these days.
God bless Levi for still making it up those stairs, saddest day of my life was when my childhood dog couldn't do stairs anymore. Really hits you how old they are then.
Really adding value to that land. Lovely paint job, lovely roof. Keep up with the brick mortar maintenance, and that place should last hundreds of years.
And be the way Mr Andrew. You started your live the right way, What is missing is a really good friend that respect your vision and you have to respec hers too. I wish you good heath and enjoy live.
Thanks for showing everyone, Andrew, that with a lot of hard work and discipline, we can all make or dreams come true. And best wishes to Levi for his upcoming birthday, long may he stay with us.
Is anyone else going to be heartbroken when Levi can’t climb the stairs anymore?
Levi is getting to be an old man.
He will probably build him a elevator. Lol 😆.
98 years old in doggy years. I don't know too many people who can still climb stairs at 98.
Deplorable Centrist I recently had to have a pet put to sleep....
Eva was a wonderful wonderful dog.
Smart, loving and polite.
I miss her.
I got her as a rescue, she was a pit bull that was abused, so I made damn sure the last 10 years of her life she was pampered and wanted for nothing.
She never once offered to harm anyone, she loved to scare the local cats out of their minds, but she never harmed one, mostly because Pit bulls give cats super speed and wings!

Don’t paint it, love the rust color 👍
Just put gutters around against the splash

If it was copper it would form a green patina and be stable but the iron will keep on rusting and pinholes will eventually appear on the surface over time.

Even if you only did a primer coat of rust paint would look good ( look finished )
can he paint it a rusted steel colour? lol

Thats next designed and constructed by andrew 😀
Birthday present?
I was thinking the same thing. (Levi's thoughts were probably "Damn, I'm really starting to hate these stairs")
Yeah a elevator would be a brilliant idea!
As my grandfather used to say "I love hard work, I can watch it all day"
Subbed
watch hard work...yea...participate n it ???????????nope
Watch hard work... yea... participate in it!!!! Nope!!
Awwww... Levi wants soft food or home cooked food for his golden years :-)
I think he might have some arthritis. Just looks like he walks gingerly. Or, he needs his nails clipped. He's a good boy though
My lab is 14 looks and moves just like Levi. For the age I can't believe how well getting up those stairs.

Good idea!
Yeah, and some camo net hanging from the sides of the roof as decoration.
Looks great in natural state as you can tell its steel...... but yes camo it out would great 👍
Ditto on the camo green , I got him spotted on Google earth
The amount of welding work and detail you have on that is amazing ,great work
Good Morning Friends no spicap inglês más Im entendo, no Andstend o que aconteceu com vocês no Ano de Pandemia Global covid 19 no mundo?
You should weld some D rings on the roof for anchor points. If you haven’t already.
There’s a few up there,

I came to the comments to say this.
If its core10 he used, no need to paint, alot of architectural features use that material
Glad to see Levi going up those stairs...I've missed him.
Time for an elevator
Looks Great, just a suggestion I would install zinc anodes to the roof and run a copper ground wire to ground.
very sensible comment.
Several
That only works in salt water. For freahwater rain you would need magnesium anodes.
lightning arrestors is a good suggestion

Seeing Levis eating maybe make a little metal stand so his bowl as more height ...you should be able to knock one of them up in 1/2 hour 👍🏻👍🏻
Its important to elevate their water too. When its on the ground they swallow too much air trying to get the water down which leads to gastric problems.
And maybe let it soak in hot water for 10 minutes so it's easier for him to chew. It'll seem like a pain at first but that old boy will appreciate it.

Hey I watch every video and I believe you are doing a great job. Here’s an idea for your new roof. Instead of steel walls put up glass walls. Check out your local glass installation places and see if they have glass that was ordered for a project that changed and now they are stuck with the obsolete glass.
It happens all the time.

Consider: Epoxy Garage floor coatings, Textured rubber bed liner coatings or rust encapsulator coatings. Whatever, it is all looking tremendous. You have created a fantasy space to be admired. Bo.
Etched concrete, go to Rustoleum for support.
I'm not sure epoxy will last in that climate, but if you do it, look for 100% solids epoxy - otherwise is a weak sauce version....
Epoxy is a no go with the uv light. poly urethane would be better.
Epoxy on exposed upper floors as well. I seem to remember you had a problem with condensation when heating your building, are you thinking about insulating those areas.
congratulations! your vision and hard work has paid off , big time !!! A one of a kind work of art that will last long after we are all gone.

Love to see that building 100 yrs from now. I'll bet it'll be the exact same! Well done Andrew! She's beautiful
I think you should clear coat the roof as it is right now. I love how some sheets have more rust than others, it would be awesome to lock patina in!
Every time your videos end Andrew I just think to myself what a beautiful country you live in. Thank you for sharing it.
Andrew, I don't know how you knew (when I didn't even know until now) but it seems you have built MY dream house, and placed it in a very beautiful setting. I absolutely love what you have created -- great job!
Looking good! Next project: elevator/lift for Levi!
Poor Levi. 😑
@@robertgreg7273 I thought the same thing! And he needs some softer food. Andrew is going to have a hard time when he loses Levi. My heart already hurts for him. Hopefully we will get a tribute video of Levi. Labs and awesome dogs. I've had 4 myself.
@@robertgreg7273 Agree. My comments above reflect that something needs to be done to assist the larger dog negotiate the difficult spiral stairs to the next level. Also think about the weight issue of the younger dog as this will be a repeat in the near future
Let's start a *"GoFundMe"*
Levi has been on so many adventures with you. That dog has had an awesome life..
Tremendous work! Great job! And Levi and Coty are great directors!!!
Glad to see the safety harness, awesome job on the build !
I just bought a container after watching your videos for the past couple years. I’m making it into a small shop/shed. I was just about to get in my truck to go Lowe’s to get paint. I guess it could wait 20 mins....
Make a cup of hot gravy for Levis bowl, makes it easier to chew for old dogs
DubwiseJunglist yes I think his teeth hurt.
@@ohPokey I agree. I thought about his teeth (and mine) ten minutes ago. He requires softer food than the biscuits perhaps. Certainly no bones for the old chap these days.
Hot water
also work and save any dog from heart disease liver cancer and kidney failure.
I love those dogs! May long live with health and happiness.
God bless Levi for still making it up those stairs, saddest day of my life was when my childhood dog couldn't do stairs anymore. Really hits you how old they are then.
Love the gusto in Cody, as Levi ages he is still pushing himself. Good boy
Looks awesome! My heart goes out to Levi, so hard for them on stairs. We had an Aussie that was 18. Love on Levi all you can. Love the channel.
Quite an achievement. Watching many of the videos helps to understand how much work in involved. Great job.
You have built one awesome home/ shop. Awesome job, well built.
I see myself as a pretty handy guy then I watch this and think wow I really need to up my game haha amazing work Andrew
no crap I grew up on a farm if it breaks u fix it. Andrew is next level possibly a wizard
That’s one impressive young man right there.
Really adding value to that land. Lovely paint job, lovely roof. Keep up with the brick mortar maintenance, and that place should last hundreds of years.
And be the way Mr Andrew. You started your live the right way, What is missing is a really good friend that respect your vision and you have to respec hers too. I wish you good heath and enjoy live.
Cheers Andrew from South Australia. One fantastic project. Really admire your work.
That project was so big it took 2 Lab inspectors..
Fantastic job !!!
