In this episode, we begin plumbing the bathrooms in our shipping container home and test fit our bathtub and toilet. We ran into a couple of obstacles this week, but that's just how it goes when you're building your own home. All of these struggles will just make the end result that much sweeter. - Zábava
I am almost 67 years old and every time I see you posted a video I feel like a 15 year old groupie, that's just not right. You guys are killing it. I spent my whole life in construction, you two are doing great!
You actually believe they have 'no experience' ! This a Made for CZcams, operation, I guarantee there was a crew who did this. Look at the likes, they are making lots of money off that! And, there is one where the put a Green/ earth roof! Remember that old saying, IF ITS TOO GOOD TOO BE TRUE....
Well I didn't spend my life in construction but I am the daughter of a tradesman and married a tradesman and I am equally amazed at the quality of the product you guys are producing. Plus you are idiotically hysterical and equally brilliant ….literally!
Mike Cummings of course use tube signed with them but you can see they’re worked from their sweaty and with all their effort ,he’s really good handymen,my father with no license and it took him 4 years to built our house ,I give this couple a lot of respect.
She’s a sweet woman and helped her husband through thick and thin ,
Im 18 and you guys literary, made me realize what i wanna do with my life in the future! Thank you for all the inspiration with your videos.
"That's What She Said" Is such a perfect statement in many circumstances since the early 70's. It never goes out of style for it's Humor punch. Never miss a Vid of your's. You are some good people.
Hey Spencer for a guy that's never done this type of build before , I gotta tell you brother, you're doing an amazing job dude. To be honest I don't think I could do half as good a job as you've done. Good stuff man. Can't wait to see the finish home. Talk about appreciating it once your finished. Wow.👍😊🏘️ Again great Job.
I so agree with you Allen! He's doing a great job!
I agree!
Agreed 100%, I love these guys so much, they do the research, they do the work, they have a laugh during the good and bad times, they are so modest and they are getting ready for a baby, they don't try to tell you they know everything and that their way is right and they show the mistakes and outtakes, what more could you ask for than a couple of down to earth people willing to share their build.
He had great help....!
Totally agree with these gentleman
You guys are so fun to watch, the wife and I sit on the couch holding hands just smiling. We just love your journey. And Cyn can't wait for the baby 💞
Im sooo excited💜💜☺
Please setup a po box so we can send baby stuff...
This is what i wanted to express, They are amazing family. oh if your reading this you need to take those rings off Girl!!! my wife had to have hers cut cuz she waited so long.
I imagine your kid in the future going through all the videos and seeing how amazing his/her parents are. All the effort and love you both put in this project is amazing.
You're a lucky man to have a young lady like her, keep smiling for you all the time.
Wish you all the best, love from IRAQ.
I can’t imagine the amount of research that you had to do before starting this enormous project. You should be very proud of yourselves. You both work so well together. Love you guys.
I love watching you guys. I feel like we are old friends. What a treasure these videos are for your family. I wait every weekend to see you guys and watch how far you get. The work you do is so good and I love your humor and connection with each other. Brilliant job!!
One of my favourite parts of the weekend.......seeing how you guys are progressing and knowing i will be smiling wide. Talk about multi skilled.......doing great and sincerely wish you nothing but the very best as you continue the chapter!
Construction can be fun, playing Plumber is tough work, if you don’t blow out your Back, or your knees don’t give out you might make it to retirement, as for me my lower back was fused 18 years ago. Had both knees replaced 3 years ago, and I’m only 71 years young. Life is good our 4 kids have given us 12 grandkids.
You two are doing a great job. When all is said and done, you will have created an unique and charming family home, something to be totally proud of.
Sending my prayers and blessing your family's way.
Doing an amazing job..proof that with some planning and a lot of hard work, u can accomplish anything..many blessings to u.
Little tip to prevent drill bit slipping on metal, use a nail or hole punch to create a dip or divot in the area or stick a piece of masking tape down and that should create enough grip for the bit to drill the hole.
Don't let frustration get the better of you. You already have one of the key tools to beat it. LAUGHTER!!!! Laughter in a marriage is one of the 3 top things my wife and I use to keep going even with me being unemployed at the moment. You two are able to laugh at and with each other in all situations ( at least what we see) so keep going. We viewers and subscribers have your backs. , right after your family and friends that is.
Those ladybugs are so beneficial to plants. You’ll be happy to see them when you start growing food crops.
I’m in awe of your courage and tenacity to take on such a project. Great job!
Bear 🐕 is so sweet! Love the way he has to stay close, he’s going to be a great, big brother!👍😁🇨🇦
Getting tired just watching these amazing videos
If you haven't already move the rafter so you can get the vent pipe in. I don't know what your tub instructions say with regard to putting concrete under it but if the inner tub doesn't sit flat on the floor you are supposed to put concrete under it so the inner tub doesn't crack one day. When my fiberglass tub was installed in 12/1993 the installer put concrete under it. That has always been the practice. You guys are doing great. Makes me wish I had one of those house's too.
I built a container home in 2013, using 3 - 40' high cubes. Having a portable welder/generator on a small trailer allowed me to save a ton of time during construction. I ran lights, a fan, a compressor, a chop saw, and the most valuable tool...a plasma cutter. Cutting through corrugated steel, c-channels, and other structural elements was easy. Using hole saws and other bits is very expensive and sometimes dangerous. I used the grinder only for occasional cleaning and related tasks. I did all interior framing using steel studs, then spray foam insulated. When my project was completed, I sold all of those expensive tools.
The challenges that you have yet to face is covering the container floors with finished flooring, especially over the areas which are steel plates. I have already been through all those learning curves, and could offer some guidance if you'd like.
The lady bugs here are crazy, especially when there are warm days following cold ones. Not just once a year, but several times a year.
That's what she said.
It's looking good. Those containers are stronger than look. Especially when you got one off the ribs. Boy what a place you will have when it's done. Thanks for sharing.
We love your sense of humor sprinkled through your videos. It is a pleasure to watch your episodes.
McKenzie you are absolutely glowing, Spence not everything you're doing in a container house is as easy as a conventional home. My hats off to you , keep on doing what you're doing one step at a time
You all are amazing! May God continue to strengthen your hands. God be with you! Mrs. Spencer, keep loving Mr. Spencer. You got one hard working man.🙏
I have been watching since the beginning and can not wait to see the finished product. You 2 should be very proud you are doing a great job!
U 2 are so cute and adorable together, I'm so happy for you and wish you nothing but the best adventure ever.
I love how well they get along. Always laughing and having a good time. Bless them 💕
Love watching your progress. Can’t wait to see the finished product
😎Bear: "Who sits fits" - Love you guys, you're simply the best!
About to move myself, yet enjoying every new episode of yours...you're making my week-end right now! Love out, Marina (from-Germany)
Bear for the win!
Kinz your a sweetheart and Spencer your so patient and such a perfectionist. Bear your the best bark bark kid dog and son and soon big brother.
The end on this one the best so far. Great attitude, but I can tell you guys are the perfect match. Celebrate 21 years this coming week myself and I know you guys will make it a lifetime.
Love you two, love Bear's antics, you are creating an amazing home together.
Dont forget to insulate behind the tub, helps to keep that nice hot water hot for your and Bear's baths.
Come on Lowe’s or Home Depot sponsor these good people. They need a break and some extra helping hands. This can’t be easy with a baby. Y’all are some determined wonderful people.
Lol
How many voice can we get out to Lowe’s and Home Depot for sponsors for the family they deserve it , don’t we think
It will be so Sweet when you move into your home!! Everyone runs into issues like that at some point! You guys make my day when I see a video posted!!!!
I guess i should tell you guys just how much I have enjoyed watching your adventure building this off the grid palace. My wife and I are like y'all and we enjoy each other's company and we work well together like y'all do. You are doing what we wanted to do 45 years ago but never got around to it. We are both retired now, I just retired back in Sept 2019 and it's just like we were back the way it was when we first married. Keep up the great work and also the GREAT videos. I just found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching for 2 days and and almost caught up. Thanks for sharing your adventure. It makes me so happy to watch y'all. Take care!
Bless the 4 of you... Yall are just so inspiring and warm. I wish so much fortune and happiness for your family and future...
I think it's a good idea to take photos of your plumbing and electrical before you put the walls on. At this stage of your build you probably thind you will NEVER forget where they are but- believe me , you can forget after a few years.
mary allen they only have a bunch of videos and 275k witnesses for that 😂.
I guess some pictures can’t hurt.
@@xavtek Didn't think of that. Thanks for setting me straight
mary allen taking pictures is a must too ! I always take a lot of pictures when I disassemble something. It is a very good advice !
I agree, pictures are much easier to check on when needed. They will certainly decorate their home and Hanging Stuff on the Walls is always something tricky. You never know what is hidden there behind .
The dynamic duo keeps on truckin...!
Awesome job Spencer , it’s amazing how a person who never had a background in carpentry could do such a amazing job as you both have accomplished so far , I love watching the progress you guys make, it’s obviously not as fast as you two would like , but on the other hand it’s really only Spencer at the moment and it’s still coming together slowly but surely ! Keep that little one warm and safe , and I know this will start to pay off for your family, as you guys are truly deserving of it !! Stay safe, and Keep up the Great Work and Vids !! 🙏👍
Charming couple very grounded and real, easy to like. I enjoy watching their videos and the progress they make. I wish them well and much
happiness in their new home with their first child.
Looking great MuMma ! Love you both but had to give a big shout out to the star of the show , BEAR is da Man 👍.We could so smooch the fur right off that face ❤️🙏🐺.
Just a FYI, make sure the tub drain is removed and plumbers putty is applied.
Having that said well done for getting this far to think so so much work you put in to the place it just goes to show the determination the stamina the thought you put it in to it plus being 100% eco friendly for the future of you and your baby way to go guys I salute you as I speak the world as myself can't wait to see when its all finished with power and heating to feel cosy watching TV playing with your child what every family does but difference is you done it all by yourself and no builder's no help at all can't wait for the next video.
My wife and I continue to follow you two, touched and inspired for our homesteading adventures in 2020! Thank you for sharing.
Following every episode, very inspiring! Great job!
I loved the “that’s what she said” 🤣 Spencer’s face before you said “don’t” was priceless!!!
Parabéns pela obra! Casal lindo! Não perco nem um vídeo! 💖💖
Next time you use a hole-saw on steel, remember to use plenty cutting fluid for cooling and lubrication. The saw tends to last longer.
I've really enjoyed watching the journey. When the home is finished do you ever think you'll post actual expenses? I'm interested in the costs of the solar project, the water harvesting, and the entire job. Thanks!
Can't wait to see your house finished it's going to be beautiful. And I can't wait to see the little baby I hope it's a little girl. May God bless you all .
I literally just went through all of what your doing with my remodel. It's good to see im not the only poor sap that does everything themselves. Lol you guys are great. Keep up the videos!
I just subscribed to your channel. A post showed up on my youtube saying that the Hollars Homestead watch you guys. I watched and I have to say, "I'm so proud of you both for what you have been accomplishing. Wow!!! Keep up the good work---and I love seeing how you both Love each other. So happy for you both. God bless you.🙏💕
When she said "Dont say it" I had already said three or four times LOL. "Thats what she said!"
Use an AAV/automatic air vent to vent the system. You dont need a roof penetration to use it, it just needs to be accessible. Just an idea. Love the videos!
I was about to comment about using an autovent. Great minds think alike
*Air Admittance Valve
Tomato, tomatoe. Lol
Yes, please, with bacon and mayo on toast. Skip the lettuce. NO GUACAMOLE.
BTW… acronyms change sometimes… is your LOL (Laugh Out Loud) or (Lots Of Love)?
It will be ok bob....I promise. Either way I hope they get their venting issue solved.
Amazing to realize that soon one little somebody will be slip sliding in that tub and toddling all over those floors. Love watching your weekly progress just wishing each step could be easier on both of you. Blessings and thanks so much for sharing your journey.
Love what you are doing together, looks like a great place to start the family.
Thank you for sharing your journey.
I love how Bear is often just close to hand in these clips.
This is progress and working together is success.
I wish you a happy life and progress in success..🌹
Mr.jarrah from kuwait
WOW! It's so crazy. I started watching you videos a while back, and Now I find myself wondering "Did they post a new Ep today?" And now with the baby on the way, It's like "awww!" Bear, donkey, now baby? AWSOME! thanks for sharing you life's moments. You guy are an inspiration, with a great sense of humor! God Bless ya!
Keep going. You are on an amazing journey. Off grid living done in your way. It really shows you want to live this way. It's beautiful and your child is going to be born into somewhere very special. Keep showing us all a better way to live.
Love your mom glow...💖💖
just use a couple of 90 degree elbows and bypass the roof rafter its only a vent no need to go straight up and out
Or move it over add another one next to the pipe and and have something to nail flash seal for pipe to?
Your positivity is awesome. Really great that your jobs allow you time to work on the homestead. . . Evenings and weekends. Slow but steady.
That is a good sum up of life, overcoming obstacle after obstacle. Thanks for showing even when things don't go as planned. I have enjoyed the videos and the interaction between the three of you.
Additional water conservation for toilets: when it's yellow let it mellow; when it's brown flush it down! I grew up that way in an old farmhouse with a not so good septic system.
"When it's yellow let it mellow. When it's brown flush it down." Grew up that way in the summertime in the mountains.
NvArchitect me and all my neighbors still live that way! Small outdated septic systems kinda necessitate it lol
Everything is really coming along now. I’m so excited for you both and can’t wait for for the next episode. Looking forward to baby arriving 💕
What happened to the bloopers at the end of the episodes? That was one of my favorite parts!!
Why not put in your tile first before you put in the toiletand also the siding for the bathroom where the tub sits
Exciting times at the homestead!!
#lifeuncontained
You two are so funny. It's wonderful not only watching but listening to the both of you.
The both of you are my inspiration!
Wonderful video. You both work so well together. Can’t wait to see the baby and I love when you show your dog. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Good Afternoon from New Zealand 🇳🇿👌
I find myself checking in multiple times a day on Friday in anticipation of the next episode. I have like 170 some subscriptions to other channels and have become bored with most of them because they do basically the same thing every week. You guys are always building your house but the content is always different and interesting because it comes from common people who are learning as they go, which is awesome. You guys remind me of my wife and I 30 years ago, you know when we still liked each other, LOL, JK. I love the content keep it coming, I'll be waiting impatiently till next week.
I think you two tackled a tough job. Well done. I don't imagine most people realize that using the shipping containers saved you time and money in pouring a foundation, slab-on-grade, all the preparatory in-slab utilities, extra framing, etc. It removed a lot of the other complexities associated with a conventional build. Not to mention, if a person is inexperienced (say with plumbing) and one of the connections/joints leaked, it is a pain to break open the concrete slab-on-grade to track down the problem. If one occurs now, he can just crawl under his home and fix the issue. This works.
Enjoy your videos so much. Like the way Baby Bump is growing. Can't wait to see him or her helping on the ranch.
I’d love to know about the music throughout, some pretty cool tunes....what’s your soundtrack?! Congratulations on your baby, perhaps a boy.😉
When a dog sits on you it means you are "his", Bear is still the star of this show!
Or he means SIT DOWN would ya...he is the protector, pretty clear.
Love following you guys and enjoy learning + humor. What a wonderful couple for a baby to come into the world too. Kudos
Greetings from New York State! Still watching and loving your episodes each week. Looking forward to seeing the little one in his future, nicely decorated bedroom. Bravo guys!
You just had to vent on this episode. I get it. We all vent at times. Just let it out. Let all the air out. Relax.....and vent.
Its just a vent.....45 it off and up....will vent just fine!
That's what I was going to say....
@@johnl.sullivan8500 same
You can keep the water tight roof and just use a Studor vent. Don’t cut the rafters or punch a hole in the roof you two worked so hard on. You already have an air gap between the container and the roof. That’s all you need.
@@knapperture By Michigan code one full size main needs to go through the roof, but after that Studor everything else. Not sure about Texas. He's not doing to bad though for a newbie.
@@knapperture AAVs are illegal in many states and for good reason!
I installed two of those Niagara Stealth toilets in my remodel and I love them! I went with the one piece model, but I'm sure the two piece will be just as good. Great choice!
Worried about water ? Build a outhouse , and seeing you two together , build a two seater ! Ahhh , TOGETHERNESS ! When I drilled my hole for the bathtub, yup, right on top of the floor joist ! Moved it over six inches , it was a one piece shower and tub so it didn’t show . Keep swinging you’ll get there !
Loving the channel guys. Pretty damn good for someone who says they knew nothing. Excellent videography.
Excellent Videography
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there. " Famous last words.
Thanks, kids. You are an inspiration. Thanks for inviting on your journey.
The relief on his face when he finally got to say 'That's what she said' was hilarious, lol. And the message at the end made me tear up. Y'all have quickly become my favorite couple to watch online. ♥
"STEALTH" She Cracks Herself Up! LOL!
Watching from 254 Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪 yes Africa
Kool
🎶Its a small world... technologically 🎶
MONICA LYNN yes it is.
It's coming along nice. Don't get discouraged. Everytime I have to do some project around the house there's ALWAYS something unexpected to have to deal with. Building that from scratch yourselves is like project, project, project, on and on. So it's to be expected.
Great videos guys. Wishing you success in completing the plumbing. Your patience and attitude are remarkable for all the surprises you have experienced. You both are amazing!👍🙏❤️
This couple should get their own show on HGTV after all they’ve done!
“Uncontainable with Mackenzie and Spenser”
I Love that idea!!! ♥️
I Love that idea!!! ♥️
Problem with the Niagara stealth toilets is you can never find them...
May God bless this sparkling anticipative young Texas homesteading couple!
You two are so pure! Keep up the great work.
Wish y'all would do a Livestream sometime for your subscribers
Livestreams don't work for everyone, especially those of us on the other side of the planet - we are in middle of night and sleeping while the USA is in middle of day.
@@MELODYMUNRO, True, but ya can't please everyone.
All I kept thinking is,”where’s the poo gunna go!?!??”
Maybe I missed it, are y’all doing septic?
God bless you guys and your little family. You are just so precious! I love your videos!!!
I always look forward to your videos!! I can't wait to see the end result, it's looking so awesome already!!
She is looking good- shame about the bath consistently having faults
