Here in Sydney an artist friend of mine wanted a new studio to use from home ... a lot of his work is oil based paints, smelly to some folks. He asked me to help him (I'm 74 years old?) Anyway we built some container offices in the 1970's working for DOD. These units were to be movable from site to site as we were closing down Nike Missile's sites around the state. The first thing I had the engineers do was make a slanted single side roof with insulation. The we built 2 X 2 wood frames and glued them to the inside walls, insulated them and then dry-walled the interior. At the back door we installed a new wall about 6 inches inside with a door and window out of wood. I had them install a center channel to hold 12 volt, 24 volt and 110 Volt power lines. My thinking was if we had a problem we could get to the wires with little effort. We would load these onto a shipping container trailer, Park and level the trailer at the site along with a large Army generator... I left DOD in 1979 to teach in Australia, so I have no idea how long they used them....I used to take a heat gun to remove stickers and then we sand blasted the container ... prime and then coat with DuPont "Imron" polyurethane enamel on the sides and door.

Another aspect is keeping yearly expenses down to under 1k including water and electric and septic. I’m pretty happy with my design so far. I have the same difficulty with wall thickness. I’m framing out 6” for my blow in insulation to keep costs down and insulate a lot.

Nice work ! Few details, if I may.... Next time use 7" worm drive carpenter's Skill saw with metal blade to cut through the wall of the container. It cuts as easy as cutting through wood. Faster and you end up with straight cut. Also, steel-clad pre-hung double door at HD run about $600.00 (by Masonite). You save your self so much time and energy installing them. Even if you have to pay $1K for the door as you mentioned - still, absolutely worth it. As far as wall insulation, I would use spray foam insulation for such a narrow wall. Close Cell foam insulation gives you about R-6 per inch of Thermal Protection. So with the perforations in the walls, you could get R-9 to R-13 of Thermal value out of it. Lastly, have you consider metal studs for framing? You can get them in 2 1/2" and they are very sturdy, as well as they will give you more space for insulation. Keep it up !

Thank you! Awesome comment. I just tried a metal skilsaw blade without much luck but let me go back to it…it’s funny, I was just working on a vid saying I’ve about had it with salvage doors. Too much work. And I think I’m in the spray foam game from here on out.
@joshwells402010 ай бұрын
Nice job! The only suggestion I would offer is that you should have first wrapped the entire interior with that mylar bubble sheets. Then you could have framed over that. Then, when you spray foamed and foam insulation boarded the structure, you would have created a thermal barrier inbeteewn the structure and your insulation, blocking heat from coming in and or leaving the structure.

I've thought a lot about insulation for a shipping container. I know part of the reason to build in a container is the obvious aesthetic of the container itself. I'd like to retire to Mexico and insulation would be key not to cook inside it once it is done. If you were to put some framing on the outside of the container using the full 4 or 6 inch depth, you could use a spray foam to insulate it from the outside. This would allow you to use the small framing on the inside to keep as much inside space as possible. Then the space in the inside framing could be used for all the electrical and piping. Another option is to find a 10' wide container. Just a thought! Thanks for sharing your experience!

I am considering building a two-story container home using 4x 40-foot and 2x 20-foot containers but the container prices are ridiculous right now I should wait a bit I feel. Also, I have a cool idea of stacking all those containers up with a nice foundation and x6 steel pillars (bolt-ons) where the containers will be attached to :) I am planning of building this in FL so it must be a hurricane proof :D What do you think?

While still watching this, I had a thought, would it be beneficial to design those installed windows with some kind of shock absorbing material and/or covers to close them off so that the entire build can be moved without them breaking? Since it is a shipping container, it is already designed to be transported. I feel like utilizing this built in feature of the container, into the build could open up possibilities for the owner for future changes in their life like moving. Just a thought.

Wow, thank you so much!!
Nice work ! Few details, if I may.... Next time use 7" worm drive carpenter's Skill saw with metal blade to cut through the wall of the container. It cuts as easy as cutting through wood. Faster and you end up with straight cut. Also, steel-clad pre-hung double door at HD run about $600.00 (by Masonite). You save your self so much time and energy installing them. Even if you have to pay $1K for the door as you mentioned - still, absolutely worth it. As far as wall insulation, I would use spray foam insulation for such a narrow wall. Close Cell foam insulation gives you about R-6 per inch of Thermal Protection. So with the perforations in the walls, you could get R-9 to R-13 of Thermal value out of it. Lastly, have you consider metal studs for framing? You can get them in 2 1/2" and they are very sturdy, as well as they will give you more space for insulation. Keep it up !

Thank you! Awesome comment. I just tried a metal skilsaw blade without much luck but let me go back to it…it’s funny, I was just working on a vid saying I’ve about had it with salvage doors. Too much work. And I think I’m in the spray foam game from here on out.
Nice job! The only suggestion I would offer is that you should have first wrapped the entire interior with that mylar bubble sheets. Then you could have framed over that. Then, when you spray foamed and foam insulation boarded the structure, you would have created a thermal barrier inbeteewn the structure and your insulation, blocking heat from coming in and or leaving the structure.
I used an electric sander, like you show in the video, to strip the paint from my school bus. For the heavier paint areas like the stickers you show, I just used a heavier grit sandpaper.
That reclaimed timber looks great
Kudos to your wife for keeping the wood natural. New subscriber.

I've thought a lot about insulation for a shipping container. I know part of the reason to build in a container is the obvious aesthetic of the container itself. I'd like to retire to Mexico and insulation would be key not to cook inside it once it is done. If you were to put some framing on the outside of the container using the full 4 or 6 inch depth, you could use a spray foam to insulate it from the outside. This would allow you to use the small framing on the inside to keep as much inside space as possible. Then the space in the inside framing could be used for all the electrical and piping. Another option is to find a 10' wide container. Just a thought! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Great project! Im a landscape contractor in San Francisco California and we're always demoing and throwing away so much good material, it makes me feel so guilty. I've been thinking for a while to recycle all that and use it, sell it or even give it away to people doing these kind of creative projects. I will be reaching out to people like you soon to talk more and invite you over to see what we can build together. Hitting the subscribe button now. Thanks for sharing, this is inspiring!

Nice job man! I love the salvage woodwork and the effort you put into this container, looks nice so far. I am considering building a two-story container home using 4x 40-foot and 2x 20-foot containers but the container prices are ridiculous right now I should wait a bit I feel. Also, I have a cool idea of stacking all those containers up with a nice foundation and x6 steel pillars (bolt-ons) where the containers will be attached to :) I am planning of building this in FL so it must be a hurricane proof :D What do you think?
OMG, I LOVE IT !! I'M HOPING TO DO THE SAME THING SOON.

Nice project. Alot of throwaway materials
While still watching this, I had a thought, would it be beneficial to design those installed windows with some kind of shock absorbing material and/or covers to close them off so that the entire build can be moved without them breaking? Since it is a shipping container, it is already designed to be transported. I feel like utilizing this built in feature of the container, into the build could open up possibilities for the owner for future changes in their life like moving. Just a thought.
Great job my friend, excellent explanation

Hey cool video! Thanks for the full breakdown. I might've missed it but did you mention anything about the foundation? Are concrete blocks all you need for a container house of this size? Aside from the potential permits needed... Do you know at what size you'd have to start digging and doing that whole headache of foundation from a purely structural stability standpoint?
I remember when i was a 19 years old and i was in Firefighters school. We took a container like that. Throw punch a trash in it. We set it on fire so we can practice how to take fire out. Your container "build" reminds me exactly that container we set on fire. Throw punch a old wood and rubbish in. Set it on fire.

Hi Matt This is Trevor form Compass Containers in Cairns Australia we do lots of container mods i saw you had trouble with the stickers we use a big LPG heater heat the sticker until it is almost to hot to hold your hand on the metal the old sticker will become soft and you can just pull it off if it cools down it will not peal just re heat and keep going Give it a go Best of luck Cheers Trevor

Would spray foam in ceiling and walls give you a better R Value ?
Thanks for the information!
Awesome effort. How did you fasten the framing to the container walls?
I side gives a wood cabin feel for real nice work
That's awesome..I'm considering the same thing.. got a few questions if you don't mind.. Would you consider attaching multiple containers together? If so, how? weld them, bolt them, both? How difficult was the welding? I took welding in the job corps in the mid 90s. But I have done it since. I'm not confident I would have a good strong weld.. I saw the A.C...how would heat it? Thanks for posting
Great build 👍

First-time viewer - really a great job. You may already be doing this - I use Habitat for Humanity and other charity support stores to stock up on building supplies - which saved me thousands of dollars. Again, a nice job of videoing and I like how you explain things are you go along working. Thanks for going the extra mile.
