18k seems HUGE for that small container house!
I can't discuss details here because it might damage your channel. Because America, the country of humanity bearing your name, is trying to forcefully close the mouths of those who speak after this matter.
You know what Zionists are or who they are. If you don't know, find out from the internet. I hope you get the whole idea if you dig a little. Your country's government is called Maa. Zionists don't run it. A Jew is not a Zionist. Zionists and Jews are not the same. Judaism is a religion. Everyone has freedom to practice their own religion. But the problem is with Zionists. They are occupying platforms like Google and Meta. 76 years ago, in 1948, the land of Palestine was illegally occupied and the state of Israel was established. And the United States and your own country are trying to do this bad thing. They are hypocrites in the name of spreading the word of peace all over the world. For 76 years, the people of Palestine have been the illegal occupiers. Being brutalized through. Murder, rape, and kidnapping are dirty deeds. When your mother, father will be shot dead in front of you. Your sister will be raped and killed. What will you do when your brother is killed in front of your eyes? Will you not take action against them and remain silent. To put it more simply, think I went to your house and said from today this house I have no right to you in this house. But you didn't listen. You brought sticks to stop us, then you will be called terrorist. I will be called innocent. This is the case for Palestine. Since October 7, 2023, 35,000 people have been killed, most of them women and children. If you do a little research, you will know everything. On October 7, a group of Palestinian soldiers attacked them for their freedom and brought their people to Gaza. But their government is committing genocide in the name of rescuing them. They are killing 15000 children. But the sad thing is that your western media is spreading propaganda for their own benefit. They are not showing the extent of the loss of Palestine. They are hypocrites. Like CNN, BBC, World Estate Journal. Fox News etc. If you want to know the truth about the Israeli media, look at Al-Jazeera, Middle East Eye, etc. I'm not saying you agree. This is your opinion. But if you have humanity, you will stand by the people of Palestine.
@@MyLilMule Exactly my thoughts, it won't be very efficient when it's over sized.
the closed cell spray foam i have used in the past had a larger expansion rate than the stuff you used and would rapidly expand to 2-3 inches it was a 2 part system that worked well. what you used will probably be fine but seems like it was more for gap filling.
Why a dual zone outside unit? No need for that in that small space. The 9000 BTU, single zone model would be enough.
You guys are so much fun to watch. HOWEVER, Riley; please use a push stick to finish push-through on the table saw - especially so when a second person is involved pulling long boards. All it would take is Courtney tripping over a stone in the lot and torqueing the board to send your fingers/thumb sideways into the blade. You'd be hurt and she would be forever feeling guilty.
If you anchor your hand to the fence it's not really a problem.
It happened to me exactly as described above. Left me a nice souvenir!
Just what I was coming here to say. Push sticks always!
Ages on a tablesaw...so cocky... They had to sew my thumb back on. I was fortunate.
PUSH STICK.
AND NO EXCUSES!!
What a treat to get to see Oliver out working. He is the Mr. Cool
Thank you for not using clickbait titles. I really enjoy your channel.
Great video, cool project.
I know you guys are creating content doing that, but DIY spraying foam is never recommended…
@@rogeriorealtor Why? I'm thinking of getting another container and doing what they're doing and was wondering how to insulate it.
Courtney, next time at the store, pick up a 2 inch PVC 90 and put on the exhaust port of the table saw and point it down, and avoid the sawdust storm :-D
Or if you want to go engineered and overcomplicated, use your 3D printer
Also put a bucket under it to catch a bunch of the sawdust.
You two are a beautiful couple. Your wife has so many hidden talents. She is willing to tackle any project with you. You definitely have a keeper. You two are truly blessed
Happy Birthday, Courtney! 🎈🎉🎊🎆🎇 You both do a great job installing, videotaping and explaining. Gram is going to be so cozy. Oliver is so cute!! Good to get a glimpse of Bailey and Boone, too. Enjoy. Blessings. Don D
Thank you so much!!
Happy Birthday Courtney. Fantastic teamwork on what on paper sounded more effortless than it looked. It is impressive how far you can transform the container with what you are doing.
I thought it couldn’t be that much harder than spraying paint… but the fast cure time made things a lot more stressful!
Wishing you a very happy Mother's Day Courtney! Seeing Oliver pop up in the video brought an extra smile to my face and I am happy for all of you.
It's Perfectly Normal to experience fear or anxiety with a brand new project we've never experienced before.
Proper planning helps minimize that fear or anxiety and replace it with confidence. As you said it's not the end of the world if you make a mistake with this particular project. Glad you picked the Golden Oak it's one of my favorites!
Have fun, be well and abundantly blessed
Happy Birthday & Mother’s Day! Have a Blessed Day!
It's the little things that these videos deserve a second or third watch.
Captured washers. Cool idea.
Flower hair clip. Nice touch.
Damaged electrical cord around your neck. Hilarious!
Happy Mother's Day to you Courtney and your mom. I love watching you & Riley build so many things together.
glad to see you wearing PPE, so many youtubers use spray foam in a confined space with no PPE, just because it doesn't smell that bad doesn't mean it's safe, while curing it releases isocyanates which are dangerous chemicals, they're also in automotive clear coats, you need PPE to protect your respiratory system, eyes and skin which I'm glad to see that you did : )
My policy on building structures to dwell in , nothing toxic in the process. If you can’t expose yourself to it it doesn’t belong in your home . Spray foam is the next substance that will treated like asbestos . 👍🇨🇦
Now that is funny, Riley cautioning Courtney on safety.
Hi, Oliver is looking more and more like his dad, trouble x 2
Riley - the attention to detail of that Mr. Cool system is frankly AMAZING!!!
I did my own spray foam on my detached garage and posted it to my channel. I 100% agree it was more difficult than I imagined!
Ambition had to strike for you to do all of that yourself!
I’ve considered doing it myself now I’m reconsidering that idea
Hello friends, I used to use polyurethane foam every day at work years ago. I worked in a boat factory. That mess is ALMOST impossible to get off skin.MEK works. One of the fellows at work built a home out of it. He poured a round pad, had rebar entirely around the circumference. One the concrete dried, he pulled the rebar into a dome. Covered with burlap& then sprayed it. Covered it with shotcrete. He built a double dome with a tunnel in the 70s 2 story, free form interior. He still lives there. I thought this might get Riley's evil genius working there
I could take pix if you'd like.
Think you guys nailed a VERY tough and MESSY job - especially for a first time!! Happy Birthday Courtney!!!
Thank you!
Happy Mother's Day Courtney! You guys are doing a great job on the container home.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY & HAPPY WONDERFUL MOTHER’S DAY TO YOU COURTNEY!!!!! I love watching you and Riley and getting a sneak peak of Oliver once in a while is a treat. It is amazing the things you both do and building this awesome place for your mom is super cool. Love watching always!!! From Michelle CDA, ID
Thanks you!! ❤️
This is going to really up the game on our homestead living… I appreciate this video because you both work so well together, you both are amazing at educating people. I love that about this You Tube Channel, I am a huge supporter and fan. Thank you making couples who are trying to live on a homestead, understand and do the work that is required! The information comes across as realistic and logical. Thank you both for your countless hours of hard work, and the editing that is required, and everything else involved, the both of you make life realistic and always having some fun, and yes, learning from mistakes.🎉 Happy Mother’s Day Courtney because you are an inspiration and a blessing! And a great mother- Oliver and Riley are amazing because of your kindness and grace in bringing the projects together and to life.. Again, Thank you both for the wonderful learning experiences that both of you do such an amazing job at articulating the projects you both are working on and everything else…
It is crazy how the tips plug when you stop for a minute. You definately need a extra set of hands. I learned the hard way
I used to work for an insulation company and they did a ton of spray foam. We would go through 3-6 55 gallon sets of spray foam a day. Those guys would do massive jobs and make it look easy. It sure isn't lol
I can't imagine doing a large building! It would take some serious skill and stamina.
Great progress made on your tiny home!
I have watched a lot of DIY shows that featured spray foam insulation. Question - doesn’t the full with of the cavity that you are insulating need to be spray foamed, ie. if you wall studs are 2x4 you would have 3.5” of spray foam and virtually no airspace between the foam and your drywall or other wall boards? 🤷♂️
we have had thousands of sq ft of wall done in our factory. we spray over large 1940's era windows that were all leaky . sealed right up,. we hire professionals to do it. one guy and a helper and an enclosed trailer with all the equipment. 10,000 ft sq in less than a day.
@@rookie1514 Yes! This right here. No airspace between the foam and the drywall. You're going to get condensation in that air gap. Keep spraying
Good job. My advice is to not mount the heat pump on the exterior wall. All the vibration carries through. We did the same on our cabin and it always sounded like someone driving up on an ATV when it turned on. Subsequently, the dogs would start barking. Lol. We took it off the wall and mounted it on a stand. Very quiet now. Ours is a Fujitsu and has worked perfectly through all our weather here in north ID.
I would agree, however installing thick rubber feet makes a big difference. Even for the bolts so the vibration doesn’t carry through
I thought the same.
Happy Mother's Day Courtney and Gram.
A tip I picked up from the Perkins brothers was to put a pvc elbow on the exhaust of your table saw and then put a 5 gallon bucket under it to collect the dust. It makes a HUGE difference.
Happy birthday. 30 doesn't suck, 67 won't be too bad if you take care of your back and your lungs.
Well done , it will be great for Oliver to have Grandma on the property
She got mom jokes! Happy birthday and happy mother's day!
Great job with the insulation ,the ceiling T&G looks great. And The Mr Cool was so easy to install. You should have the tiny home finished in no time and then on to your next project.I wonder what that will be? 😊
We have some HUGE projects in the works for this summer!! 😉
Wait all week to see the next video in this built. Fastest 25 minutes of my life. :(
Now i set my countdown timer of 168 HOURS. Happy Mother’s Day Courtney
Like the idea of having the services in the original container doors
I’m planning to build a container house. Off grid. Next to a lake.
Great video as usual, what’s not usual is it being Courtney’s b’day, hope it was an even better day than we saw! Take care
So drywall trip for the next part: Instead of sanding your seams and getting dust EVERYWHERE, use a car wash sponge and a bucket of warm water. Get the sponge damp wringing out most of the water and rub that over your seams. The joint compound is water soluble and you'll basically erase the excess mud. No sanding, no dust, when the water has a film of mud on the bottom of the bucket, swap out the water. Works great for cleaning up holes in walls with texture.

"Reckless Riley's Pro Tips"!
Today's tip:
"The key is to position your lip right in the way of the drill, so that when it catches, your lip stops it and you don't damage your project".
Brilliant!🤣
Love your videos guys, have learned much and look forward to hopefully doing the same someday on a property like this!
The Mr. Cool package says 18K on it. That strikes me as being way too big. It probably should be about half that. Maybe a little less if your insulation is _really_ good! The result will be inadequate dehumidification during cooling times and inadequate air movement during heading times.
@16:40 if Riley likes sawhorses, you should convince him to build a table on lockable wheels the same height as his table saw. An outfeed table can also be a work table for other things, improves the quality of cut, and is safer.
Courtney, Happy birthday and Happy Mother's day! You guys are a great team!
Courtney, you need to have The Wild One create a sawdust collector for the table saw. You'll need a Homer bucket and lid, right angle PVC pipe, straight PVC pipe. and piece of open cell foam. PVC from discharge to homer bucket, cut vent hole in the homer bucket top tape open cell foam as filter. DONE!
Baby makes his dad's facial expressions !!
Courtney, good choice on the electric knife. I have used one for 30 years, a whole $2 at St. Vinnies. Since it was in my tool box and I bought it I kept it.
Your production quality has come such a long way! Incredible.
I had to chuckle when you chose Golden Oak. Ask me how many quarts of Golden Oak I sold at the hardware store….maybe a bazillion. Number one choice for years.
Probably going to need some kind of air exchanger? You did a fantastic job sealing it and along with that comes the need to exchange for new air.
Happy Mother’s Day!
heat excanger with fan
@@samjubilee6593 Yes it is...but that exchanges the heat...not the air. R2000 homes, for example are exceptionally air tight...and because of that they need to take air out of the house and trade it for fresh air from outside. To deal with heating or air-conditioning seasons a fresh air exchange unit will let the incoming and outgoing air pass each other closely to "exchange their heat" as well.
That unit...looks like it only exchanges heat not air.
@@BreakingBarriers2DIY I'm assuming the whole purpose of the heat exchanger is to exhange air (house air out, fresh air in) while conserving heat (using warmer outgoing air to heat colder incoming air) to keep heating costs lower. There would be no purpose to a heat exchanger if it did not bring in fresh outside air. Heat exchanger not necessary in (air) leaky house; would only make sense to use in those airtight R2000 homes you mention.
@@samjubilee6593 I see what you are saying...but if you look at the unit installed...it is a heat pump. What comes through the wall of the container...is the refrigerant lines. An air exchanger does "exchange some heat" but it's purpose it to bring in fresh air. A heat pump's purpose is to bring heat into the house.
Have a look at the lines to the outdoor unit...those "pre-filled" refrigerant lines.
It does seem like something that gets overlooked because it is a common confusion between heat pumps and air exchangers.
In any case...hopefully the unit door is opened and closed so often that the build up of CO2 or humidity isn't really a concern.
@@BreakingBarriers2DIY The heat exchanger is separate from the heat pump. Just a small unit with a blower to bring fresh air in & stale air out. The warmer indoor air blowing out conducts heat onto the adjoining air incoming ducts, using its "exhale" heat to warm the incoming cooler air, thus conserving heat.
Man Oliver looks so much like Riley. 😃
Courtney spending say 30 minutes to cover the floor and all windows before spraying saved you so much time when it came to cleaning up. Loved the use of you meat knife to trim the foam. Riley sure is Mr Cool love to you and of course Oliver ❤️💙💙xxx
I Just can not stop thinking “ Breaking Bad “ when the two of you were dressed in the cover alls. Thanks for the great escape from my world to yours.
That container home is shaping up to be mighty nice!
Your mom is ready to put up her curtains and start frying chicken and mashing the buttered potatoes. And maybe test the wabble of her favorite jello and whipped cream. I wonder how I get an invite to her Christening meal?? This is all so exciting....Hi Oliver
You guys are fearless. Love your videos. I keep thinking "what a team".
Fearless or crazy? 😉
This is a really fun series. And Happy Birthday Courtney!
You two have stumbled upon a business. You should build and sell those enmass. That is the coolest off-grid mini home project ever.
Great young couple just doing everything mostly together and that’s true love ❤️. I try to watch all your videos but sometimes I do miss one here or there 😊❤
Waaaay Cool !!! Oliver is so cute and looks so much like his dad and Courtney is so cute too. You guys rock.
That’s going to be an awesome space for her. Nice work guys. It’s looking great!
I am so happy I found your guys channel. You both are so entertaining and I aspire to be like you guys one day!
Happy Birthday 🎂 and Mother's Day, Courtney. Great video, and nice to see Boone and Bailey doing well.
And Riley, I can't believe you just learned the value of saw horses. And the great thing is you can make them whatever size you want or need.
Tip: Put on less than you think you need, and let it expand before you do a second pass. Same with the second pass. You can always do more, but having to cut back excess is a PITA and wastes the foam.
I really would have liked to seen you partner with SprayJones for this episode. Most DIYers get spray foam wrong and have not so good results.
I think it is worth very much that Courtney has so much done with the spraygun before.
I'm enjoying following you folks on your journey.
Thanks Daniel!
Oliver is such a little cutie pie. He's crawling around quickly now. Your life is about to really change!! You may have to rename the channel to "ambition kinda strikes" 😆 This is my "go to" channel now. Y'all are so inspiring.
“And that’s pretty cool!”
I see what you did there!!!😂😂😂
i thought Riley was going to yell..."I AM THE MACHINE".......BTW good movie too..hahahaha
With spray foam being an average of R 6-7/inch and only having roughly 2" at most or so (from what I caught on the video) you can definitely still have a condensation issue potentially on the skin of the foam during the winter if it gets cold enough out and the container is occupied. I'm not sure how low your lows get to, but you may want to keep an eye on it during the winter if the surface temperature of the foam can drop below the dew point.
Nice! Big Hi to Oliver and to Mom and Dad who make things work. Ron PTL USA
Courtney, nice stud joke. It’s usually the guy who has to make that joke about themselves, what a great wife!😂
Wow, did I laugh when you said her booties got stuck. Then I saw her feet and laughed all the more.
Great show again!
Happy Mother’s Day Courtney!!❤
Thank you!! ☺️
You are a GOOD team! Courtney is awesome!!!
On the table saw add a plumbing fitting pointing it down... or usually shop vac hose fittings work too.
I love the way your boy said "hey". He is going to have a love voice.
PROGRESS! Wondering how and where you are going to move it.
Oliver crawling by grinning looked EXACTLY like Riley. Spot is looking great and I love my Mr. Cool too. It isn't any easier than thatt
Golden oak, thumbs up
I am enjoying this build of the tiny house/guest quarters! There is quite a bit of work involved that most folks don't realize, it makes a person appreciate your work and understanding! Little Oliver sure is growing quickly, soon he will be swinging a hammer and wanting to weld something!
That Mr Cool ceiling cassette was the Bomb 💣 ❤😊
You guys are awesome. I can’t believe how much stuff you guys know. Also, happy Mother’s Day.❤
Courtney is a stud!
Right, the container build is going well, Mom is happy, Courtney is now 30, and Oliver is growing BUT . . . . . tell us about the large green army truck!!
Your mom is going to love it. You guys ever think about extending more bedrooms over the shop?
Happy birthday, Courtney 🎉
Just to give you an idea of how well it works, we put closed cell foam in our small home (44x16) stick build not a trailer etc. We have it on a 3' foundation - crawl space. We put 2 1/2" in the ceiling and walls and also put about 1" in crawl space. Our winters here in Missouri are not real bad like you have there in Idaho.(We used to live in Kellogg and Post Falls') but we do get a few below freezing days in Jan. and Feb.The Spray insulation works pretty well except on extremely cold or hot days. We now wish we had put 3" everywhere. Hope this helps.
Happy birthday and Mother’s Day Courtney. ❤❤
Wow the container is looking so good. Courtney you did a great job on the insulation. Well done both of you, your mom is going to love it x
I installed 2 Mr. Cools in my shop last summer, South Alabama. 100 degrees with 65% humidity on install day. Dropped the temp in the shop to 75 in 2 hours, humidity down to 45%. Yep, they are as good as the ads say!
HAPPY B DAY AND MOTHERS DAY COURTNEY. YOU GUYS ROCK!❤
First time seeing Oliver craw next his own electric bike
Great video!! Seven "Woos" and only one high-five.
I sure enjoy this kind of content over the more hair brained scheme like the little electric train.
Attach a 3 inch flex hose on the exhaust of the table saw so the dust goes down the pipe instead of blowing everywhere.
You 2 are awesome if I was your dad and you build that for me I'd move in an never leave hahaha
Great Job!! Love the way you show how easy it is (Not) to do, when the DIY shows make it look like anyone can do it. Thanks!! Love the Mr. Cool!!
If you want to increase the R value, you can add dense packing celulose when you have 1/2 of the ceiling done,You can add celulose, and before you do the las piece, you can add more, that will increase the R value and fill the air gap that you gave between the foam and the ceiling
Happy Mother’s Day
Good morning guys happy Mother’s Day ❤🎉Courtney 🌸 happy family love you guys 👌🏻🙏🏻
Well it took 3 months, but I finally caught up on the last 3 years. First video on your channel I watched was when you were shopping for properties.
Happy birthday and happy mother’s day Courtney ❤
to avoid the sawdust coming out of the saw, put a plumbing elbow on the output to direct the dust left, right or down.
