2 containers $1500 each $1000 to transport That's $4000 dollars , Are you saying that you then spent $11 grand for wood to build just a roof ?

screws ontop the ribs are better. If you take the extra .5 seconds to back off the screw and retighten the screw on the roof its guaranteed to be a water tight seal to the roof and the washer ends up higher on the steel. Meaning when water runs down the roof it won't start eating away at the rubber washer. I've had so many repairs I've been sent to that screws on the flat of the steel end up wearing through within 1 year as opposed to a screw in the high rib wears through in 20 years... assuming the steel doesn't damage the rubber cutting through it. I'm sold on using 2 1/4 nails with rubber washers. It pierces the steel and seals the hole without risking shards or metal cutting through the washer or just thrown about on the roof causing rusting over time.

I just want to say. Thank you for harnessing off, im a industrial roofer and i cant tell you how hard it is to get people into doing what we do, our fatality and injury statistics are so high bc of commercial and DIY roofing, so i truly appreciate you not only tying off for your own safety, but setting an example of what to properly do

​​@@Scubadog_You just set up a vertical PVC pipe with a smallish hole in the bottom before the run to your collection tank. The PVC pipe captures the first several gallons of water that contains dirt, bird droppings, etc. The PVC pipe fills up and then the water starts moving in your collection tank. When it stops raining, the small hole in the bottom of the PVC pipe allows the dirty water to drain so that you're ready for the next rainfall. You can always filter that water if you need to drink it in an emergency but the primary use would be watering plants, flushing toilets, etc.

Unreal timeframe. And cost. I grew up reading “The Boxcar Children” series books. Made me want to do projects like this. Very cool to see such a solid build.

Hoping Riley is feeling better, health and family are what matters most. I love watching all of your projects and how your land and lives are progressing. Keep up the good work!

Appreciate the pace of the video, no wasted time.

On several past job site occasions where we built similar equipment areas we had roll up doors added in to the covered sides of the containers. Turns what was long tunnel type storage in the containers into several easy to access “rooms” in each of the 40 ft containers.

I learned the hardway about predrilling for roofing screws. I didn't when I built my shop and I had several leaks. If you notice in the slowmo of Courtney installing a screw, the screw produces a "swarf" the protrudes from under the rubber gasket. When I discovered I had leaks, I examined the screws and found on the majority of the screws, that "swarf" was on the uphill side of the screw head, which of course provided a leak path. I have no idea why the would frequently end up on the uphill side, but they did. I went back and removed all the screws where I had leaks and knocked removed the pigtail "swarf" and installed new screws. If I ever install another metal roof, I will pre drill or go with a seamless roof style.

I build exactly this setup as a workshop for my company. Only difference, the trusses sit right on and are bolted to angle iron welded to the container roof. Has worked fantastic.

Can't wait to see you celebrate reaching one million subscribers 😊

I have loved watching you folks on your journey so far. I really want you to install a railing around your new deck.

Glad to hear Riley's feeling better - I never knew he wasn't feeling well actually! You guys rock so definitely do whatever you need to do to get better, take care of Oliver, and then get us more content, in that order. We'll be here! :)

This is the first video of your channel im seeing, and in the first minute im blown away by your past projects and current ambitions, oh to have what you have

I had a cool idea for a cabin layout a lot like this. Picture three small buildings arranged in a U-shape, with a big outdoor area in the middle. Underneath everything, there's a sturdy concrete floor. Over the top, there's a roof covering everything. Inside the buildings, there are sliding glass doors that let you open up to the outside. And there's also a kitchen area with big sliding doors that can be opened wide or closed tight. So basically, you can easily switch between hanging out inside or outside, depending on the weather or your mood. It's like having the best of both worlds!

"A bridge! Mountain bike jumps! Maybe even a TRAIN!" Oh MY! 😊👍😉🥰❤️

You guys are Rock Stars! Some wonderful ideas. Absolutely EPIC teamwork and resourcefulness! Mad Respect from BC Canada.

Skill, hard work and determination. Congrats on 500k!

A solid and multifunctional building built in record time and with maximum yield for minimal expense.👍

Riley seems to be speaking at warp factor 4 on this video! Awesome work on the container shop build! Great to see the _Vanwives_ again! They are so energetic!

Thanks for the video we're in the process of starting a container barn with equipment storage also. The deck was a nice touch would never have thought of that addition . Nice job on your project keep up the great work.

Thank you Donald.

That's a beautiful job you all did. Wish I had a Courtney! Nice helper crew is a big bonus. One more thing to add is a large capacity raingutter and downspouts on the deck side. Crown the gutter up 6" high in the middle and put a downspout on each end. You'll keep the deck a lot cleaner and you can easily clean the gutter from the deck every month or so.

Love watching and listening to you guy's! Love that barn!

I hope you're feeling great by now Riley! This building is beautiful!!

This motivated me so much we just bought two 40' containers. Pretty much going to do the same thing. Thanks for the awesome idea. Just subscribed.

It's nice to see you use fall protection and set a good example for others. People underestimate the potentially life altering/ending result of a fall.

Hey guys, spring is coming soon (we hope!) and perhaps better weather will perk you up Riley and shake what ever is holding you down. Little Oliver is looking really cute with his chubby little cheeks and great little smile. Courtney, you do an excellent job of getting the videos out to us, as well as being a great mom, machine operator and Riley manager!😊

Your site is an inspiration! Hope ‘24 is a great year.

In the UK we have CT1 sealant, which is brilliant stuff, we even use it in the haulage industry, sticks pretty much anything to anything, and is very durable, would have sealed your windows frames perfectly.

This is actually a sweet idea, we have seen someone do this in our province, NB, Canada. 😊

Awesome and outstanding.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Congratulations on the 500k🎉🎉🎉. This build turned out incredible. ❤

I hang welded shelving I fabbed to use torch bent round bar hooks to hang from the internal tiedown loops and have zero footprint so I can move machine tools, welders and carts beneath them. Super easy to fab and you get much stronger shelves than most commercial units. I fabbed simple upward-facing trays from angle then used flat bar crossmembers (dropped in place so I can move them if desired, no need to weld most of them) to further support the plywood surface. BTW Dow 418 auto glass urethane is magnificent sealant for container wall and door penetrations like air, electric cable and welding cable feedthroughs.

I’ve never done construction, but this was really enjoyable and you did a phenomenal video production of everything to the point. I understood much of it. Super impressed by your skills and ambition

Good job, that's a lot of work. You can make that your living space, not just work shop. Very beautiful,

You guys should make a natural swimming pond in a future project

The non deck side of the roof could make a good place for a rainwater collection system.

Great project design, rugged construction, job well done.

Awesome video great recap. Show you are great at thinking things out congratulations. Keep up the great work

Epic build! Can’t wait to see what you do with it! 😍

Nice work. The only thing I'd suggest is a railing around that deck and closing off the gap between the upper roof and deck and on the other side too so wind isn't blowing rain and snow inside. I know the ends will be open but it would cut down on a lot of moisture inside there and it would look even better.

Thanks for the interesting recap.

A few years ago i built a 40' container cottage on a cattle ranch. It was a small bunk house for workers. I made the exact same mistake stitch welding the doors and window frames in. A few leaked and had to be resealed a year later. My only issue was in the winter it stayed very humid in there without constant dehumidification. The minisplit didnt do that while heating, only AC.

You're making a difference in people's lives! 🌎

You had me at mountain bike jumps Riley!

That did turn out pretty awesome! Great job!

In Australia 🇦🇺 we use tin or "sheet metal" for our roofs mostly & the roof screws go in the high bits here rather then the flat, to help stop water leaks ect as flat is where the bulk of the rain will go

Jason. Thank you so much for your negative comment. That will inspire us all. I can tell you are a born leader.

Sehr schön gemacht. Mit schönen Details. Weiter so. Danke

very proud of your work and being out in the deep forest I would have enjoyed that many years ago. :)

Awesome build. I really enjoy all your projects.

in 2014 - 10 years ago I set out to learn how to fabricate in 3d with blender - I use photoshop and 3d blender to create previews of all kinds of fabrication projects out of metal and wood. I model in actual size in blender and can take a picture with blenders ortho camera put that picture over to my 42" printer and have 1/64" accuracy. So I make cut files for projects but also make actual size plans. Welders love to work from my plans. Your having a blast ! If you ever want someone to take interest in one of your projects let me know ! I had the same vision of those containers for my back yard. Thanks for the cool video. Id like to share some of my picture tool projects on here at some point.
