"It won't be permanent, I plan to move it at some point" is exactly what my great grandpa said in the 50s when he built his house. Still sitting relatively in the same spot, too

These are just the things we tell ourselves while building to help us sleep better at night when we take small shortcuts. “This is temporary.” “I’m planning on redoing all this when I get this other project finished.” “This will work for time being until I get time make something else.” Most of the time, for me anyway, I’ll never end up redoing any of it, at least not within that decade 😂

Maybe instead of pitched floors there could have been something under the metal roofing to give it a slope like 2×2 boards on one side, just a thought. I like the build and reusing stuff is great

Great job. Fast and simple. Build a wood canopy over your window. Stop direct sun. And seal off for rain. You can also build one under roof line about 8 to 12 inches out. Throw rain away from building. Catch rain of the roof. You might need a mini wood burner. And some pictures on the wall from the dump. Lol Good job Man.. Have a good week.

That is such a clean use of those old crates, and a nice shed too.

Places like yours out in the middle of nowhere almost always get hit by less-than-nice people who will strip the place clean. Hope it doesn't happen to your place, it did happen to a place we had. You literally cannot leave anything on the site. All the best!

*- James, that was an impressively fast shelter build and wonderfully inexpensive, too.* *- I do hope your family enjoys the result and appreciates how clever you are, and the fun of it all.*

As a retired small cabin builder, this job was awesome.

Awesome! "Apparently theres lots of ways to have fun" lol

This is the best youtube channel. I don't know why they have any other ones.

When the economy goes to crap, we know where James and his family will be. Love the videos, James!

If you had 4, you could've put them in a wagon formation and used the gaps for the door, windows and use their "doors" to cover the gaps. That'd give you a large room in the center. As for a roof, sure there's a tarp somewhere... that's perfect for a pitched roof. Just gotta put two pieces of wood on both ends of the leading edge and string the tarp between them. :))

I would be interested to see this get some old pallets or old metal pieces added as siding in the future, maybe a wood stove and of course I’m sure that will come with time

Honestly, I like how modular it is. It shouldn't be too hard to add to and rearrange it.

Much tidier but more expensive than my new shed. Mine is made from scrap lumber and the sheet metal taken from walk in freezer insulation. Cost €18 in screws, about the same size. Took longer to build.

Cool quick shelter build! You mentioned it's windy there. Might be a good idea to secure the structure down.

"this should be easy." I love that.

You have a crazy, fun, kids will never forget it, cabin. I love what you come up with. Thanks for sharing!

That's resourceful! I never would have thought to use old shipping crates for a cabin! 👍

"Apparently there's lots of ways to have fun." I love this soooo much.

When I’m about to do something sketchy I think how my wife would feel when she finds me. Seems like you have plenty of scraps around there to build a ladder with. Nice temp cabin, certainly better than a tent. 👍🏻

James your videos never disappoint me. No matter what mischief you get yourself into.

Nice little project, could easily make it into a viable, comfortable tiny home with a little bit more work. Solar panel up top (found one online for $95), mini fridge (Bought one a while back for $50) some lighting strips in channels ($30-$50), add some insulation, plasterboard, linoleum, a little bit of paint and you got yourself a decent little tiny home for ~$700-$1,000.

The US government could have built this cabin for one thousand times the cost

Congrats on breaking 70k LB! I’ve taken your advice and do my projects until they aren’t fun anymore, then come back to them etc. Keep the good content coming.

This is actually a great idea. I usually buy sheds to make chicken coops out of, but a shipping crate is much cheaper and will the job done

Oh man! Just found your channel. Instantly subscribed. I have recycled SO many things into new things. Pallets into raised beds, water heaters into woodstoves,pallets into sheds. I've also refurbished old woodstoves, made bbq s from propane bottles. Oh, they make great portable air tanks too. So now I have you to help instigate my schemes. THANKS!!!

This is the way I work and fix things for my house and vehicles the extra things always cost more than the project 🙃 great video

Great done

Good job dude. 😊

We don't even consider wooden buildings here in northeast Brazil, but I just love these videos. I am definitely building a wooden shed for my tools. Good work, man!👍

You are nuts with the inginuity. Its so cool to see this come together. You have given me so many ideas and so much confidence to handle my own projects.

Love the practical approach, shelter does not have to be that hard. not full time living but works for weeklong adventure outings. You can add a small counter for food prep or even find additional pods to add on.

I been watching several videos on how to make mini cabins and this is what I been looking for. #minicabin

love the cabin build. Just discovered your channel and I appreciate everthing about your approach.

We need a Vice Grip Garage and Puddins Fab shop Low buck garage collab!!!!!

That was fun for me! Thanks for sharing!

having a raised roof on top would be better for keeping it cool inside in sunny weather than angling the whole building

Looks good 👍👌

I would like to get my hands on some of those Crates. I would be perfect to keep a lawn mower out of the weather.

This is why I am subscribed. Excellent work

Another way to pitch the roof is to put the crates level, then use a 2x4 on one end of the roof to raise the roof panels on that side. Viola, level floor and sloped roof. Great job and very entertaining.

There you go man that works to build your nice little shelter

One heck of a building ya got there. Great views. Isn't that how every house in New Mexico is built? LOL!!!! That's how Ricky Rollover builds. He's my nephew. He thinks building like that is just fine. He has an AirBnB that he actually rents out. With a pit toilet and everything. Natural aromas to go with the natural views around his fine AirBnB.

nice work. An easy way to pitch a roof a little bit is to start with nothing on one end, and then put 1, then stack 2, then stack 3 etc 2x4's across to screw to

When I was a teenager, I built a club house from old pallets old carpets on the inside of the walls, everybody really liked it 👍

Needs a second window to prevent it being too dark. But other than that, a nice place to hang out during a storm!

Awesome little cabin. 👍

i enjoyed the concept. thank you.

I'm actually redoing my shed right now omg epic idea I hope u show us more of this

Roll that metal cone over, and stand it up. Kitchen and dining room ! Make a woodstove for your new fire resistant space. Cutting out an entrance also gives you a door. Nice quick cabin build. Fun to watch.

that cabin is made out of better quality wood than your average ryan home

Imagine how much better it could be with a little more effort

Always amazing what you can do! Your motto is the best! Got a T-shirt with that?!? And a hoodie?!?

Congrats. again on getting that place, I'm trying no to envy you too much.

I just spent $3000 on a shed for my $2000 riding mower. The shed is better than my house. Any comments? John in Bethel, Missouri. USA

Loved this video ❤

Cool building wish I could find some crates like that for that price

Nice unibomber Shack! I hit like & subscribe. Now I expect more exciting and high energy updates.

That is a miners cabin through and through. well done!!!!

as long as it is this fun to watch ,i dont care what you build or do, cool forward an to the point cheap builds

Nicely done! Personally, as an artist and (when I can concentrate, which isn't anywhere near often enough) as a writer, I find both of them quite fun. I'd love the chance to learn more about workign with wood and metal, but where I live right now, I'm not allowed to fab, and I _hate_ that.

Love your humor.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing more at the mine!

Great build.

Love when you can use a bunch of parts in the hoard to make something.

I like it.....without shelter our workshops would be convertibles..........great most of the time...but not all of the time.

I've seen that on Gilligans Island. Nice work.👌

Close your eyes and listen to hank hill build a mini cabin. You're welcome

good job! Looks fun to build and fun to hang out in!

New sub, of cause this guy got a mine, the mountains are beautiful what a nice spot.

At 6:38, I love the engineering logic.

That's fine to get out of the weather or take a nap. But as is not much more. Some heat & AC would be nice, maybe a heat lamp & fan off a solar powered battery (jackery or something like that)
