In this episode, we begin framing one of the shipping container roofs. From welding on top of the shipping containers to building trusses, watch as we get one step closer to starting our roofing company.
P.S. We did it! We successfully occupied Mars. - Zábava
I love that Bear finally got to help.
I think bear is good for a spin off series.
Bear was always working; he's the foreman.
The Lab carrying that 2x6 was just about precious!! Nice looking work you two are doing :)
That was awesome! Bear really wanted to help.
That was hilarious when the dog "helped" to carry the wood
I can’t believe you built this home basically by yourself with some help from your wife,WOW
I LOVE the cliffhangers! Will they survive the cold? Will they ever get the roof done? Will they actually build a home inside? Will the cows stampede? Will the pond dry up? Can't wait for the next installment of Texas Monday Morning Soaps... 🐮🐮🐮
I can’t believe how she can be so upbeat 24/7 and so funny, wish my partner was like that 😂
watching this 3 years later and am completely inspired and charmed
You “kids” are so cute, resilient, determined, and talented. What an incredible job on a decently tough project. Keep up the terrific work!!!!
4:08 the best helper of all!!
I love watching your journey and progress each week! Thank you for sharing!
Love how eager Bear is to help move the wood :) that was adorable!!!!!
Well shit ! I was really getting into the video, and it ends. The shots, cuts, editing and flow of the video makes it easy and pleasurable to watch. Longer videos really would be cool and bet your viewers would like longer ones too.
Should put it to a vote. A call to action will really get the fans to participate.
i say 2 videos a week would be even better!!
I agree. I’m hooked, and the fact that you’re a Knight makes it all the better. Great job y’all!!! 😎
The only disappointment is when the video ends 😂
Agreed longer videos! Its like having your favorite show end on a cliffhanger lol "find out what happens next time..."
Got the notification early hours this morning (in the uk) finally finished work and sat down to watch this quite a few hours later. Loving the progress, I bet you can’t wait to get working inside. Maybe a bit warmer and drier too! You guys are doing an excellent job. Great attention to detail and future proofing 👍
I started watching, from the beginning, a couple of weeks ago- I just have to say that it is too cute when bear is helping you carry lumber. lol
You two are so much fun to watch
All the knowledge your gaining is priceless. Great job 👏
I'm in Katy/Houston want to thank you for the awesome dedication to each other, work ethic, workmanship and the trial and error that happens in any home project. Good teamwork!
If you’re not beyond that stage I would consider adding joist hangers to the part you just did over the container. I’m will add a considerable amount of strength for roof loads on that relatively flat roof. I built a patio cover like that.
yup! "Simpson strong ties" or similar, aren't expensive and about guarantee it wont blow through for walking on it many years in the future. couldn't tell if on 16" or 24" centers, on 24's such a short span wouldn't be criminal, but I'd want 2x4 across between them to cut the void length in half for better rigidity support to the panels.
They are gonna be regretting it later on when their roof blows off.
Please, please continue the channel uploads even after the build is done. I'm sure that you guys will always stay busy there. Love you guys and what you are doing! Nice work!!
Ah man, no bloopers or outakes. Those are always hilarious lol.
Yeah we're freezing our buns of here in Orlando with 68 degrees. Let's turn on the heat. And my hat is off to Spencer for his excellent job.
Thanks for letting me follow you on your journey. I'm learning so much every video about how to build container houses.
Now that you know that Bear can help, progress should be quicker. Lol. Roof is looking good. Happy Thanksgiving!
You kids are doing great job and I’m enjoying this journey which you’re been kind enough to share with all of us🌹
Happy thanksgiving guys!! Hoping you are doing great on this special day! Thanks for sharing with us you adventures !
Bear is such a good helper moving the 2x6's! Such a good pup! Lol!
its getting better yourcontainer home is moving along. Keep up the good work.
You guys are so committed, standing tall during the cold weather, hope you have long johns! The roof is looking so nice, thanks for sharing!
I think the hardest part of this whole amazing job is standing on the ladder rungs, very tough on the feet!
Really awesome job guys it really is impressive thanks for sharing your work and journey with all of us can’t wait to see what’s up next
Such great editing guys! I look forward to the uploads every week. Thank you.
Looking amazing guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ve talked about doing something similar. But just with one container just as a little weekend cabin type thing, but open one wall up for the living room or something not really sure yet. But can’t wait to do it. Love everything you guys are doing so far, can’t wait to see how it all turns out.
Watch Andrew Camarata build a castle workshop out of contauners. Best container build evah.

I just love the lines on your home. Its really nice.
Discovered your channel the other day and been binge-watching to catch up. What great work you guys are doing. Thanks for documenting the process. I'm hooked :-)
Continuing those trusses across the span between the containers onto a cantilevered beam would make a nice little porch roof over your front entry and the bedroom porch
Every weeks I m waiting for a new videos guys. Thanks so much !!! Greetings from France
Good Bear!! What a great helper ❤
Slow and steady gets it done right man you guys are doing alright it looks good enjoying it keep them coming
I take my hat off to you folks you are knocking down the problems as they show up. You are doing field modification as we used to call therm in the army - aka make the f**ker fit. Keep up the good work
Oh my God, Bear is so cute helping to carry the wood
Y’all are doing a great job. Love the videos. I love to see the out takes too!
The stepped flashing under the center roof looks really classy, what a nice, but subtle touch! ;-)
Kepp going, real troopers in that cold. I would made the container roof higher so that you could use the space for storage, and longer so that you could have an overhang for a porch or decking area.
Can't wait to start my off grid home. Watching y'alls journey is inspiring.
If you ever start a family, you're going to have some of the *coolest* things to show your kids. Years ago, when my maternal grandfather built an addition on to his house, his family & neighbors saw it, but only those immediately there. He died before my parents married, so I never got to see him work, but growing up, I sure enjoyed the fruits of his labor.
You and your children will have the added bonus of having these videos to show how this home all came about!!!
Great job & happy Thanksgiving!!
I love the way you guys work together. Thank you for sharing
Really nice job, for real. That lake on your property is just on point! And container house looks amazing, like from me
The top trim looks really great!
Y’all rock. I’m looking at something similar for my fishing camp here South east Louisiana. I’ve gotten so many ideas from your design that I need to redo my own drawings. Glad I didn’t start driving piles yet. Back to the drawing board never sounded so good to me. Thanks for the documentation. We’re getting the same weather in South Loosiana as y’all are. Stay strong. It’ll be hot as that donkey dung in a few days.
特别羡慕你们的生活，你们许多人的榜样，目前能力有限，但是通过一步步努力，相信能够建造出一所满意的家，
Good job, stay warm n healthy! You are gettin' it! ATB from sunny Wintergarden,Florida😎👍!
My advice, after living through some brutal Oklahoma winters would be to get a propane or kerosene heater and put it inside and do as much of the pre-building as you can in there, and use that as a place to go to warm up after working outside for a while. A good heater will pay for itself in productivity, let me tell you!
You guys are an inspiration to get out of the corporate American's stress BS ... a daily problem with my blood pressure :D I love your vlogs
Wow it’s really picking up speed now and looking brilliant!
Awesome. I like watching everything you guys do towards your new home. You know once you're roof is done, you won't be able to hear it when it rains. At least not on the metal.
When those compressors are cold it helps to drain out air on the first start until it warms up, even leaving the drain open even for a few minutes. I'm from MN its cold here.
Nothing ever goes easy. I know you two have great abilities. Looking good.
I was wanting to build something with either two containers or three. So far you two and another couple who are also building a two container home seem to really have my attention. I love that your design makes it look SOOO much larger than it actually is. Also it seems to have a really "down home" with a modern twist to it all.
Bear, one helpful doggo.
Hang in there with the cold weather... You guys are doing and awesome job.
Been here since day one lol, Keep up the good work guys! You are awesome! I love seeing you're home come together little by little every episode! :)
The "EDIT" needs MAXIMUM credit..great building as always.
Great couple.....and dog is very helpful and smart.
Congratulations guys nice work thank you for sharing your proyect blessings
You guys are doing great. I see some commenters wanting to see more videos, others wanting longer videos. I guess the old saying is true, you can't please everyone. Keep up the good work, and try to stay warm. I'm from Texas originally, and I know how cold it gets.
Am I the only one who feels sad when the videos end? I love watching y’all build your new home!! Stay warm out there!!
p.s. what’s up with the Texas weather ??
Love that Bear Bear! He was so proud to help.
You guys are a great couple and entertaining to watch. I really enjoy your weekly reports. Please stay warm and healthy. Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy for you to finish the work soon.. good
Good job you guys we just got 10 inches of snow here in PA wish I was there keep up the good work
You guys are so freaking kool working together for your dreams plus great personality as well keep it up enjoy watching your vids.

Coming along nicely, can't wait till you move in.

Simply Fascinating! You guys are geniuses!
Looking good, guys! Praying for ya!
I’m a college student in Texas and I just love watching your videos
you are genius! I love watching your videos, greetings from Uruguay !!! keep working!!!!
Hi guys, I'm enjoying your project. I lived in a single 40 foot container while I was building my house for 5 years. CAUTION: Anything other than spray foam insulation will cause you to eventually abandon your containers due to mold issues. This is little known, but I learned the hard way. I was one of the pioneers about 13 years ago. The reason spray foam is the only appropriate insulation for containers is because the metal is so thermally conductive that inside warmer humid air condenses when it contacts the colder outside steel of the container during the colder months mostly. Fiberglass insulation is not much of a moisture barrier. The spray foam adheres to the steel, and the closed cells prevent moisture from conducting to the steel, thus you will avoid condensation and mold. Trust me. It's much more expensive, but who wants to deal with mold and removing the sheet-rock, and redoing the insulation 5 years from now?
I love seeing Bear participate in your house build. Your videos are GREAT keep up the good work.
Hahahaha I just noticed that the intro has a locness monster in the pond. Thanks for that, it made me smile.
They also put their faces on the cows at about 2 seconds in.
I am surprised no one else noticed. 😉
Y'all need to look into the Rigid 60,000 BTU Propane jet heater, I have one for my shop and love it. It's both battery and shore powered, I run mine off a 40lb propane tank and it runs for weeks.
The best part of metal work is black boogers.
Ah, what a big helper you for there. What a good pooch.
6:37 is that Spencer’s personal cheering squad? Lucky!
Great job👍
Cool project, great dog, awesome couple! Best in the future!
Such a cool build, worst part, waiting for the next video now that I've watched all of them.
Good job Bear!
You guys are doing a great job !!!
I know you are using Photovoltaic solar panels, but had you considered employing some water heating panels on the barn.
Having seen how chilly you looked you might have been able to have a radiator or two in your shelter to cuddle up to.
Enjoying the project updates, thanks for sharing.
Very nice job guy's it looks awesome I love it :)
Thanks TJ’s woodworking shop!

Dont feel bad about being cold we weren't able to get heat or a roof on till Nov 10 11, had been snowing for a few days at that point. up here in B.C I'm sure it was about -3 or lower that year. We had three kids 6 and under at that point!
Bear wanting to help carry the lumber was so cute!
We love your videos. You guys have some awesome ideas.
Really coming together... love the journey
WOW Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely love what you guys are doing👌
I must say I am hooked and entertained. You guys are great.
Thank you guys for the video's! Its giving me an idea of building my shipping container home. I was waiting for this video!😂 thank you guys again! All the way from big island hawaii!
