      ⁠​⁠@@TheContainerGuyTV. Thanks for your innovative framing kits, I am interested in possibly building a container home, however I am constantly researching other options for building affordable homes, that brings me to a question regarding possibly using a semi-trailer to build a tiny home, it’s similar to using a container. Is it possible to adapt your metal framing kit to the inside of a semi-trailer and is it possible to adapt your outside wood framing kit to a semi-trailer house build? Which of your framing kits would you recommend for adaptation to a semi-trailer home building project? Would it require a great deal of modification in your opinion, hopefully it’s something I can easily do. Thanks

    Consider building some "homes" on site just for demonstration purposes. A 2 story with an observation deck on top. 3, 4, 5+ story homes are what really get people excited.
    Make a cabin; a man cave / hang out, a garage or shop. Can you compete size wise with the metal building industry? A common 30x40 metal building price compared to equal size built out of containers? Building in a way that could be expanded unlimited?

      We just had a 20ft non-working reefer roll into our yard (very rare occurrence) and I said "that's mine" (for video purposes) and it was already sold. 🤬
      I tried to order a bunch of reefers without the reefers (insulated cans) ~6 months ago and it just kinda fizzled. I think there's money to save there...

      @@TheContainerGuyTV ........The reefers have a shiny interior of stainless-steel sheeting which also serves well for reflecting inside light around, the floors are grooved aluminum so the cold air can circulate the product which it is holding..... but I sheet the floor with 5 ply, 1/2 plywood and screw it down with self-drilling, screws which have the large flat head....... then roll on some enamel deck gray paint.....yeah, 20 are difficult to find, 40's however if you have the room are affordable...20's are the king !

    Thanks for these videos. I was in touch earlier about a project I want to do in Michigan. It would be building a portable workshop/office that can be put on the back of a truck and moved to a location and remain off-grid for electricity, internet, and heating.

    I am looking for a pre-built home, made from a single shipping container or other method. When you say you won't build people a shipping container home, I imagine you mean a home from multiple shipping containers, as I could see how that would require engineering etc. What if someone wanted a home out of a single shipping container and we could finish the interior ourselves (as I heard you say you don't want to install flooring, wall coverings etc), you could offer the basics, could you not? (a container, insulated with a floor and ceiling, windows and doors...)
