The Okie Homies
United States
Приєднався 27 січ 2014
Follow us, a couple from Oklahoma, on our journey to realize our American dream as we build a shipping container into a tiny home. We are building our container home 100% DIY. We designed it ourselves and are building it out ourselves. In addition to the container home build, we will highlight what it's like living in rural America.
The Man Behind the Channel
I give you all a peek behind the curtain if you will. I tell you who I am, my past experience, where I got the time and money, and the method to my madness. We are not fake, we are not sponsored, we are average people trying to do greater things. Sit back, relax, and I hope this video inspires you to chase a dream.

Spray Foam Fail - Froth Pak 650
Переглядів 4,9 тис.Рік тому
Installing spray foam into the container home did not go as planned. This video is a little different from the rest as I break down the process and what went well and what went wrong. I got this FrothPak 650 from Lowes for a little over $1,000 and the results are not worth that in my opinion.

In this episode I am installing the sub floor into the container home. I used 1/2" R-Tech insulation board and 1/2" OSB decking on top of the existing container floor. We talk about R-values and the other "tiny home" channels who may or may not be forthcoming with their true content.

Does Elastomeric roof paint lower the inside temperature?
Переглядів 237Рік тому
Does roof paint make any difference on the temperature of your shipping container home? On this episode I apply the APOC Elastomeric roof coating and have some surprising results. Also, I knock over a ladder while on the roof, good times. Follow us on, Instagram - TheOkieHomies Rumble (Exclusive content not found here) - OkieHomies

Making holes in perfectly good container walls
You’re not sure but you’re making a video? Thanks for the tip.
Nice!!! Love the name "Okie Homies" but that doesnt look okiefied!! HAHHA. Nice clean work
Can you not just crimp a 90 on it?
Couldn't get my hands or tools in there
thank you
Thanks for posting! I haven't uncorked my Frothpack 650 yet. I've been using 1-part Kraken cans, which also have a learning curve, but a smaller investment in $ and time. I'd suggest trying those too. My expectations of tge Frothpack solving all the quirky challenges of the Kraken, are now temperred... 😜 I think (?) that the pro guys have an air-assist spray gun (it sounds like it in their videos). They get a uniform coat of the stuff on the surface, that uniformly expands out. In contrast, I think (...) our amateur stuff tends to splatter more, and all the little spots expand more or less okay, but its harder to get a uniform surface.
I used Tiger Foam after this and it went on like a dream. Nowhere near the mess or gun clogging.
Thank you for sharing, very helpful, just what tool are you used for pumping the air?
An air compressor.
@@OkieHomies I just blow into it 😂
Nice job!
have you done a cost breakdown for the 20ft container? I'm moving to Colorado from Texas and planning to do similar project this summer while I'm there but haven't seen a lot of cost breakdown videos for fully finished 20 footer. enjoyed the video great commentary and how well did the 2x3s work for your projects?
I haven't done a dollar for dollar cost breakdown yet, but it's roughly $10k to get to the installed drywall stage. I wouldn't use 2x3 again for a few reasons. One is the quality of the lumber, few places stock 2x3 boards so your selection is bad. Another reason is making sure electrical boxes are correct, depth of plumbing issues, etc. It's worth giving up the inch and using 2x4 for many reasons.
I'm here doing my research on Froth Pak. I'm trying to spray foam a skoolie and have been hearing nothing but a mixed bag of opinions. One opinion I respect above most on this product is that of Chuck Cassady, who has been using these Froth Paks with success in Colorado since 2014, doing bus conversions. He's not a professional spray foamer, but he's a pro at Froth Pak, and that's important. Nevertheless, he stopped using it around November of 2022. His best guess as to why the product changed is around the 18:30 mark. ua-cam.com/video/uvP7EDSS0uc/v-deo.html Essentially legislation was passed that required spray foam kits to have a less ozone depleting and less green-house contributing blowing agent. After 3 failed attempts at spraying a customer's van, with DAP sending two replacement kits with each fail, Chuck decided that it's just not worth it, and that hiring it out to a professional is the better route. So it's hard for me to say the cause of your Froth Pak fail is your own amateurism nor your lack of understanding the directions. That said, the one factor I have heard has a great influence on spray foam kits is humidity, and that seems much more difficult to control. Thanks for your review. Very helpful.
Its closed cell. It performed exactly as intended. You wanted open cell. Dont post videos exposing yourself its not classy.
If by "performed exactly as intended" you mean got all over the floor and me then sure.
What should have been a giveaway is you're not smart enough to read instructions
Read the instructions. Product doesn't perform, much like you in the bedroom.
I just tried the 200sqft product. Same experience. Way way too messy and questionable coverage as compared to what is claimed.
Tiger Foam is a much better product.
Yo what’s up rudi I saw yo Amazon review nice enfeild
Thanks man
Great job🥳!!!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Good video breast
I like it..wouldn’t mind trying it…nail guns shoot faster the more we use it the more lighter they are
It's a good nailer and it's on sale right now for $169. amzn.to/3P5d8SV
When building a house in Massachusetts… to give you an idea of climate… we would have wall cavities closed cell spray foamed, along with rafter cavities. Middle of winter, the home owner still hadn’t turned on the heat and the house stayed in mid 70’s. Nothing is added to fill the gap before you lay drywall. That is your insulation and vapor barrier. Be an awesome grow room!!! Hahaha! I got a shed insulated with 3 inch polyisio. Keeps it hot and keeps it cold when I want it to. You gonna get what you pay for. Better to pay it up front like you sayin before you gotta redo it 😊
I wanted the wall and roof cavities filled but this kit just couldn't do it. It did work as a vapor barrier but I used Rockwool insulation on the roof and some of the walls
@@OkieHomies make sure to put 6 mil poly over the cavities that don’t completely cover your exterior wall.
@@smokeCHRONICnotmeth for sure. I went back over the bare areas with canned foam.

Makita recommends 6.2 SCFM @ 90 psi for this unit, so make sure your compressor can keep up.
I dig it. I have the bigger version of this sprayer and it works well. Did you leave the roof to the white heat resistant membrane? Or did you paint over it?
I did not paint the roof, left the membrane there to do its thing. Wagner makes some great stuff for the average Joe to be professional, great stuff indeed
Nice video. I like the pace that you edit at. Its easy to watch. Thanks for the parts sale 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Come to Arizona!!🔥lol
💔 "Promo sm"
This thing is turning out so well. So cool!
Thank you! There's a lot of work ahead, but it's starting to come together.
Is the metal thing ok? That looks expensive
It knocked about a 1 inch bit of paint off a corner is all that happened.
@@OkieHomies "we will rebuild!"
A plumber does not approve... try again!
I'm open to suggestions???
I see. Start chewing pard.
My fix made it worse. This is going to be a whole day thing... Oof
You could put a 90 on with 4 inches and fish it through there at an angle maybe and then add a coupling
