Wow

I made my own container home and made my utility room from opening the container doors and welding a floor and roof between them. Very simple, very easy and a little off the ground. You can then easily get into your ceiling. Hope that helps, been watching your progress for years. I love your ingenuity and work ethic.

Nothing wrong with changing plans for a growing family ❤💕

Good new plan. You don’t want it generally known your cabin is there. Work at it yourself, at your pace. Make it your own. You’ve been very successful so far!

My husband is a welder. He sprays paints very thing to make it match. Love this family.

I like Harvey's idea of opening up the container doors and putting a utility room there. Would have room for washer/dryer, water heater, brooms, vacuum, etc and also have windows to let the light in. With a basement, there are moisture and mildew problems that could permeate into your living space and the possible need for a french drain. Seems like much less work/expense to add on above ground.

I have a remote cabin...when kids came we built a separate bunkhouse, as the kids got older what a blessing for them top have their own space, the main cabin became more functional....the main cabin is a 16x24 with bedroom loft, the bunkhouse is 10x20....works out so nice!

What about getting a second shipping container and connecting it to make an L shape cabin with decking in between? It would be a lot of work for a vacation cabin but as your kids grow it might be nice to have that little bit extra space for the family. Just an idea.

McKenzie’s camera and editing work is getting soooo good!

You can take a tiny brush and touch up the gray screws lol. I will not be able to rest knowing they do not match.Also just lower the ceiling in the bathroom a little to hide the vent pipe. The project is looking great and hope all keeps on going well for you. And your little ones are absolutely adorable.

I think the bumpout will give the cabin a more aesthetically pleasing shape. Good Job!😃

The "new" layout makes alot of sense, without sacrificing interior space. Making sure the exterior door is fortified along with the rest of the cabin.

Hi, I have been doing research on parasites, and have learnt that a lot of diseases are caused by parasites. MS is one of those diseases. Try doing a parasite cleanse and see what happens.

As an architect, your design of the cabin looks great. Good job!

I like the wrap around porch! It will provide more protection from the sun/rain and a place for the rocking chairs. It also reminds me of a Frank Lloyd Wright design.

Go with a basement. A well dug and moisture sealed basement will give you lots of options. And being underground the temperature should be fairly stable, so you could store some food items like the fruit from all your trees. Also if you have a garden do some home canning, that will store well in a basement. It may be an expense but worth the money.

I think your new idea seems great. It looks like a verandah all around the container where the kids can play when the weather is awful and it gives character to the container and looks less like a box on the ground. It will also keep and protect the cabin from the the elements.

Great ideas!!! Thank goodness you have two tiny helpers on the project!!! 🥰❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🎶🎶🎶🏡🇨🇦

Yes, this!!

Add another short container at right angles to your main container - cut out the door in both units, this will allow you to fit out your extension in the short container completely before you move it to the mountain in 2 pieces and then assemble them together there! Totally modular…,

I like a relatively simple build when in the middle of nowhere. Labor, parts, and equipment breakdowns all exponentially add to your time and costs. Your cabin looks great and you can add a container wing to it when the kids get bigger...

that's a great idea! You can add a whole container down the road someday, and it wouldn't need plumbing but just more bedroom space.

Bump out with roof has a nice design to it. Don't forget we are in high rapture watch. Living in amazing times for the ones saved by Grace.

Sounds like a plan. Those screws I could see them from my house. Just spray a little into the cap and use a small paint brush, easy peasie! Have a good week and happy new year 2024, and God bless amen.

You two have just reminded me that dealing with a shipping container, nothing is simple. It all seems to be complicated because of the shape of the walls. This makes it take so must longer to do. Fingers crossed, that most, if not all, work is done before baby is due. (I don't know how much longer to go before your baby is due). You all stay safe, Happy New Year, love from Mike. ❤

You may want to consider using ICF for a full basement foundation. You would have to hire out the hole dig, erect the ICF and rear yourselves, then pour the concrete. Fully insulated and ready to go in one step. No forms.

Subject to change! That's true of ALL of us! 🤗🤗

So just curious, this bump out, wood construction? Have you considered a mini container like they use in storage companies ?, same materials as the main and they come in 6' 8' and 10' sizes. But yes a basement on a mountain not good, you'd end up having to get some dynamite to blast out the rock lol but that could be fun in itself haha...I think your making the right choice by doing the extension. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

I think you should wait until you have the cabin on the property before doing your new update. You two are really awesome in how you work things out. Congratulations on your one to come, keep the great videos coming. David B.,Utah. 🐕🐕🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤.

I think that’s an awesome plan! So much smarter than building a basement for a cabin, although you do still have to build a storm shelter, but better to have that at home, I guess. Duh!! I’m just super excited that you are finally fully working on the cabin again. Who knew it would take so long to prepare the site! It’s magnificent now, though! I’m so excited for the future! Much love from Oregon ♥️ Jessica

You can do it Spencer you got the ability to figure things out, and it will look great. Give Beau and Cam a big hug for me and tell Bear and Io I said Hi. God bless you all.

oh my goodness, something new every time, problems presented problems solved! Good on you both for a wonderful job. I can’t wait to see it in the new place.

Keep up the great work and as always thanks for taking us along on your journey! ❤ Congrats on the next little helper❤

Here in Canada we can get smaller like a 10x10ft shed container which if its possible where you are placing your cabin you could dig out on the end and place the 10x10 container in the ground and put the cabin on top with concrete block foundation for the rest kinda like a walk out basement idea. You could then run all your wiring and water up into the container inside the wall. Its still quite a hole but if its open like a walk out basement you should be able to accomplish this with your current tractor equipment.

The new plan is very exciting. The wrap around porch looks Great and the utility room attaches nicely.

Best laid plans of mice and men... Change sometimes looks daunting, but when it's done, you are surprised at how it all works out. Good to think things through, and also to have someone to support your ideas.

Build the addition on now and make it detachable and just detach it for the move then reattach it and make all the final connections after you get it on site. That will minimize the amount of On-Site work that you will have to do once you move it.

Easier would probably be getting a smaller 20 foot container mounted sideways on top of this one for master bedroom and bathroom. And this way you have an overhang front and back for rain or snow. The family is getting bigger. Opens up space downstairs. Imagine a picture window in the bedroom and rooftop patio.

You could get a short container,I’ve seen them around 10,12” long completely outfit for your water and have room for tool storage ship it wit the cabin and bolt ,weld it to the cabin your tractor should be able to move it around

Plain as day. Ya’ll are just fun to watch. Love changes of minds, love laughter, mistakes and successes. 💖🙏

The new plan sounds great to me. I love the overhanging shed roof and walking surface around the perimeter.

Happy New Year to this incredible family. Looking forward to seeing your progress as to the cabin in the mountains.

Omg the kids got big. So cute. Sweet family.

The elbow is a GREAT idea. Exterior water (rain) doesn’t go up, and any moisture in the bathroom will go down and out!

I think you two have thought it out and have come up with the best option. Great job. 😃❤️ love to all of you and I hope your holiday we’re blessed.

A vent system in the bathroom is always a good thing, especially when your stomach is upset and speech isn't necessary to tell you so. It's is a o'my g-d moment. lol. The first vent will be good to move the air and heat from front to back of the trailer, which will help in cooling in the Summer and heating in the Winter. The both of you are Superstars in my book. New idea: How about getting a second container and making it your basement? In other words have one container underneath the cabin. I think your bump out idea is good, but you are going to need way more space. Picture it when the kids are 16, 15 and 14 years old, you're going to be very cramped and sleeping arrangements are going to be interesting.

I thought you were building a basement. I think I heard a quick mention about it a while back. Ya’ know….thinking about more room now for your growing kids is a wise idea to think about.

As expensive as it would have been a concrete basement would have been a great idea for storage as well as what you planned.

As soon as you said basement, I immediately thought of just dropping a shipping container down in a hole and stacking that one on top!

My wife and I love your videos - keep up the great work! Everyone has a suggestion, so here is mine. I would recommend a 20 ft container connected off the back with either a hallway (advantage would be you could put two bedrooms in it), and put all the utilities back in the original container with the expanded barn-door area. The advantage here would be you are only running electrical into the new container. Alternatively, you could tee the container between the windows, but this would only allow for one bedroom, because of the narrow containers and the need for a hallway. All utilities would need to be run through the container. Happy New Year!

A below ground space is an essential element for food storage. It also frees up space in the house.

one thing to consider is a heat sink wall. If the outside wall of the util shed faces towards the sun a lot make it a concrete block or concrete pour wall. this way the sun heats that wall all day and at night the heat releases inside the building. Also, if you line the room with foil back insulation panels the heat inside will not get released as much and be retained inside better. if you paint the outside wall of the shed black it will absorb heat better too. I have an underground house that I have zero need to heat and cool because the earth maintains the temp at a nice level. the sun on the outside front greenhouse heats the place easily. the house is almost 10,000 sq feet underground. No util bills at all. Well is on the property and geo tubes cool easily.
