You are a beast! I really enjoyed the jump cut from prepping the airbrush to painting by hand. Keep up the fine work.
Much appreciated and good to hear :)
Hey Spencer! Glad to see you. Hope things are good with you and the family. Thats going to be a nice sized shop. Looking forward to how you connect them. Take care!
Good hearing from ya! Yeah, all is well with us ... summer time is a great time :)
Not plumb, straight, or level...sounds like my building projects! 🤣🤣🤣 Glad to see it coming along!
hahahaa ... at least we're not alone :)
Yes I like how you built open living,hate when people make shipping containers into small box house.
Thanks!
Glad to see another video. Now you’ve got my attention and I’m ready to see this build throughout its totality.
Most excellent man!
It's definitely coming along. You accomplish so much just by yourself!
Thanks man ... it's been a fun one
Great plan and video! Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated. Thanks!
Glad to see someone building one right and not half done like another channels do.
Just keeping after it! I figure I have the summer ... would be nice to get it done soon :)
Nice work! Love these project videos!
Thanks for taking a look :)
Great job Spence. Look forward to seeing how you finish out the rest.
That's going to be one big shed/space when done. Sure you'll have some good uses for it too ;-)
Thanks for checking it out
Hey Spencer,
Never disappointed & usually impressed., don't hurt yourself & as always, thanks for sharing...
Can't wait for the next vid..
🙏 🇺🇸 ✌😁👍
Much appreciated -- thanks for the encouragement. It's been a fun one so far
making it up as you go along is the best way to build. I'm taking notes for when I build my own barn hopefully next winter
Exciting that you've got one in the works (or planning stages). Good stuff!
@@metaspencer I'm planning on getting some land in AZ near Tombstone next fall. Cargo containers would give me a fairly secure place to lock stuff up when I'm not there.
Of course there will be videos of whatever I build
@@SteampunkSteve Oooooo, exciting!
Looking good. I think you like heights. Sitting up on top of that knee wall freaked me out.
I absolutely do! The first thing I thought was "I've gotta get up there and sit ... maybe even walk around"
It’s going to be a huge storage area. Nice work!
That's what I'm hoping :) thanks
Looking good sir! I like the way that you are "winging" it. Sometimes that's the best way.
Absolutely. Just trying to figure stuff out as it goes :)
@@metaspencer Looks great! Can't wait to see the finished product. I'm sure you can't wait either! 😀
Awesome Spencer! I've been waiting for you to get started on this build! I thought I missed it some how! Can't wait till the next one!
Thanks Loren! Yeah, its been pretty fun so far :)
Love following along on this
So good to hear!
Really enjoying this build. I have a rusty shipping container awaiting some love.
Time to scrape that rust off and get going on it :) sounds like a good project
Fiddling around. Good job.
Thanks for checking it out
Great stuff man
Thanks buddy
That’s amazing! I love watching the videos! I can’t wait to build to same thing one day!
Excellent!!
I love your How to videos. big project, but will be a great space.
:) Thanks! Yeah, the scale is a bit overwhelming but the space will be sweet
Looking good.
Big thanks!
Nice work
Thanks buddy!
Great video. About to start our barn build up in north Idaho with 2 just as worn containers
Great location! sounds like it's gonna be a good one
All I know is we both need to get the Milwaukee battery framer, we deserve it , hope Milwaukee comes out with the battery roof/siding gun. Keep at it and it all gets done, eventually.
You said it! Battery framing nailers are so cool ... I've used a few on the jobs and they hit harder than I first thought. Great tools. Someday! :)
Nice!!
Thanks for checking it out! So far, it's been a fun one
these videos comfort me, i figured this concrete piling method of foundation for the conex boxes would be pretty decent, i think im going to install steel plates to weld to on top of the sonotubes , thank you
Yeah steel plates on top makes good sense ... do it! great idea
@@metaspencer appreciate it bud !
Looking real good there Spencer. That is gona be one hellova cool barn...
Thanks buddy. I hope all is well for ya
@@metaspencer Thanks man... been a rough ride this side but making headway and getting the wheels back on the road in the next few days. next video coming out soon... you might like to see a bit of what else we have in this neck of the woods. keep an eye out. :-D keep well pal.
@@6ftS I'm looking forward to it -- love your vids man. And hey, I got inspired and got my first moto ... it's been fun. Sorry to hear about the rough ride: hang in!
Looking to either build a pole barn or doing something like this with one trip containers.
Thanks for the videos!
You’re gonna love it!
Good Day : I'm so sorry you had to clean off all that rust with that grinder . The all time fastest , easiest and most thorough method is "Wet Sand Blasting" . This is mixing very cold water with your sand . It will only take about 1/6 the time it would take to use that grinder . The cold water will stop any warpage .
Sounds awesome! I've never seen a second hand sandblaster in my area, but I'd love to pick one up. Would be awesome to test out and use.
Awesome! . . . . Rog
Thanks man. Good hearing from ya
Great job. I prefer to weld brackets on the top than bolt down to avoid leakage points.
that makes good sense. That area will be roofed but I like your thinking there.
I have a similar build. I put down a 40 x 46 concrete slab, 2, 40ft containers along outside edge running the 40ft length. That leaves me 30 inside between the containers. It has a 12 ft apron off the front end. The apron is 12' x 46'. Roll up door at each end. Front roll up door is 16' back roll up door is 12'. One walk in door, complete bathroom at one end of one of the containers. Car lift inside, many tool cabinets and assorted machines to do mechanic work on 4x4's and side by sides.
Oh dang that sounds amazing! I'd love to see pics. I'm also wondering where you got the roll-up doors and if they're insulated/sealed well? What a cool space you have ... I'm looking forward to getting mine sealed up
Hey there, we are working towards building a container home with a similar approach with two containers and a space of 14 feet between them.
Can I ask how well the roof of the containers held up to having the built roof weight on them?
I'm very interested in using your approach for the knee walls to support a roof with enough high for a second floor.
If I were building a house I'd probably brace the container tops/roofs with welded triangular brackets inside, just to avoid any potential sag or movement. My roof has been great but my tolerance for oddities is probably lower than yours, since it's a barn/workshop. Have you thought about putting your knee walls along the edge of the container? Much more solid there. And are you gonna attach your boxes to piers?
what was he reason for your triangle theory with the concrete pillars when you were just sitting all four corners of the box on it? love this build btw
I'm not too sure what you mean about my triangle theory. It's always possible I was just hallucinating :)
Invest in the flexvolt cordless grinder. I'm a Milwaukee fan but I gotta say the dewalt flexvolt 6in grinder is a beast.
thanks for the tip! much appreciated
@@metaspencer Torque Test Channel just did a video comparing grinders and showed the flexvolt out performed a corded grinder.
@towboatjeff just ordered one. Thanks for the tip
Did you have an engineer analyze your roof loads on the container since they are designed only for corner loads?
Nope
NICE! 🚴🏽♂️🇧🇷✍️
Thanks for checking it out, buddy!
Very nice!(Borat voice)
haha ... good stuff!
What kinda of paint is being used? (marine grade? or rust prime or rust paint?)
Tractor paint oil based
I should be able to tell, but can you confirm 2x6 boards for framing?
Yeah 2x6 ... there are all kinds of load calculators out there that you should check out if you're building
what is your knee wall made of? 2x6s at4 foot high?
Yep, you got it
If it is me I'd build it all the way to the outside 2 outside edges that way you can store stuff on top of the containers underneath the roof
That makes good sense but I was going for more space between the boxes GIVEN the fact that I've committed to using some second hand trusses I got on FB marketplace. Your design sounds cool tho
I thought I'd seen a build number 5 but I can't find it Is anywhere was it removed
Not yet … still working on it
Man that’s look awesome! Coming along nice!!
What drone are you using? Video is sharp
Thanks for the encouragement. The drone is from DJI ... one of their older Phantom 3 models. I like it: clunky but always flies and even in a wind
Hey Spence, love all these videos. Have watched the whole “series” at lest 4 or 5 times! Wanting to replicate what you did. Couple of questions for you, how deep did you go on your footings? What height did you decided on the 2x4 uprights for the roof to sit on and why? Thanks!
Howdy -- exciting to hear you're thinking/planning a build of your own. I wanna hear more! Where we are 4' footings tend to work and get down below frost. Check your frost line in your area. In one case I couldn't go that deep as I hit a shelf (slate here). The uprights are 4" to make it easy to slap 4x8 wall board (osb in my case) up there. I tend to go with numbers/lengths that fit for the materials I'll be using
@@metaspencer thanks for the reply and info. 4ft makes a lot of sense. Did you also purposely make the lower roof the same pitch as the trusses? If not it looks really good. I’ll check on the frost line thing (didn’t think of that!). I’m just outside Nashville TN
@@musiccitycruisers3863 I went for a flatter pitch on the side roofs to get a kind of "flared" look that I like, but still enough slope to shed snow
From someone who knows only a little about building I wonder why you did not sand the rust off the roof and paint that too? Yup I am one of the planning dept./builder inspectors kind.
The containers are made of corten steel, which pretty much is made/designed to rust and weather ... so without any new water hitting the tops of the containers (with the roofs on now), I'm not worried about rust progressing up there.
I need to find someone to get something like this on my property... does anyone know who I cam contact???
So you want a builder then? Sounds like you need a contractor my friend
You know what they say - a bad welder with an angle grinder, a good welder makes 🤣
Absolutely. You said it! :)
Are the containers secured down to the concrete pillars?
ya can fabricate steel brackets and bolt them down -- I've seen another guy do it that way
@@metaspencer thanks! I'll look it up.
You had MS right ? You are looking nice, Nice to see u working Hard
Oh yeah, had the MS for over 20 years now. I just stick to my anti-inflammatory diet and have been handling it well. Thanks
How much space is between the shipping containers
27'
did u use silicon where u penetrated the roof???
Those holes will be roofed over but ya know, it's not a bad idea. I think I'll go back and goop those holes: good idea!
@@metaspencer I always had to do it installing tv and satellite mounts or the insurance wud not pay up...drill hole 1st put a bead of silicon around the hole, place mount on top, more silicon on the hole then slot the bolt or screw thru.
@@OffGridAussiePrepper Yep, that's the way to do it. And I've had good luck with Sikaflex too (on steel). Thanks man
@@metaspencer Yeah its Sikaflex now not silicon.... as i been retired for a few years due to health issues
How far apart are the containers
27'3"
on 9/11 I was cutting a hole in one of those for a man door before i went to a rich neighborhood to signal the crane for some landscapers
Wow, what a day ... sounds like some interesting experiences
I would of got a sandblaster😊
That would be sweet
I hate shipping container roofing, its made to rust, therefore u have to make a new roof entirely with at least a 6 inch gap for air flow or a 2ft gap to utilise for storage
yeah they're kinda flimsy boxes in places ... less rugged and durable than I first imagined.
@@metaspencer Shud have been a flat roof made to shed water, not hold water in gullies, cos wind is not gonna dry it out so salty water wud sit and just eat the metal away.
…. Still waiting to see how these people using these metal shipping containers….are dealing with the Huge problem of. Moisture Condensation on the inside of these units …. Hot and cold days the humidity in the air , Mold forming in all the corners and edges along the bottom ….. They. NEED PROPER VENTILATION.. AND Insulation….
A few years in now and we've had zero moisture problems. I was anticipating the same thing you describe but it hasn't been an issue. If we ever have moisture buildup I'll cut in a humidistatically controlled vent
@@metaspencer Oh. Good. You’re in a good climate location …. I had problems in mine .. I was in a. Hot and humid place where I was located …. And it also depends on what you have stored inside as well .. I solved my issues with the type of heater I was using and covered the outside..to avoid direct sunlight on the outer skin .. .. location location location … is always the thing to consider…. You’re doing great. Work by the way. Have a. Fun. Day. !!!
I'm glad to hear you figured it out! @@patsquach4080
thanks for wearing a mask so i can breath clean air but u forgot my ear protection....
Doh! You said it man
cordless grinder = fail
yeah they always give ya power drop ... when the corded tools are unstoppable
That high pitched noise aint making me wanna watch
You need some help bro
Like, psychological help? Financial assistance? What are ya thinkin'?
Way too much talking.
I get it: you're one of those guys who likes to see the work get done. I can appreciate that perspective
