This preplanning is really going to pay off when you go to set the stairs. Watching Vaillant over the last few years shows he has a very analytical mind. If he's not an engineer he missed his calling. Beautiful work guys, both of you.
I need to learn how to do my makeup as beautifully as you do! How many touch ups do you have to do? Realized that is one of the major reasons i love your podcasts! Thank You dear!😅
I have to say this is the 1st time seeing your video or even your channel but I’m hooked because of how you’re using metal & welding. I will definitely be subscribing to your channel.
Absolutely marvellous as always . I just wanted to mention a point regarding electrical health & safety . I have installed electrical installations in converted shipping containers , it's likely tat you already know this but I just thought that I should quickly outline the electrical earth bonding of all the containers insofar as they should all be bonded to ground via earth electrode stakes , hopefully you would of installed the electrode stakes when yo dug out the support footings , hence at that depth would of been ideal for earth electrode stakes . just in case you don't know , if the containers are not earthed all the metal can potentially become live voltage on the steel , so an earth electrode stake slugs the voltage straight to ground , and for a building this size , your going to need a few earth electrode stakes . The basic installation of an earth electrode stake is to connect a 16.mm earth conductor to the metal construction , then drift an earth electrode stake into the ground approximately 2 meters from the building , then connect the 16mm earth cable to the top of the earth electrode stake , it's advisable that you'll need to do this a few time around the property . You cannot rely on anti corrosion painted steel that may of been placed in beneath the ground surface or at ground level. The earth electrode stakes are normally 1.5 metre in length , however that is here in England , I'm not sure about the U.S ? , nevertheless you can consult a qualified electrician , I'm sure that they will be able to assist regarding the above . On a final note, there is an extremely rare chance of a possible lightning strike ?, all the steelwork & particularly among the trees may attract the high voltage from a storm ?, it would be advisable to install lightening conductors , this would also help regarding the earth bonding , lightening conductors can be placed at the appropriate high points of the building connected to a lightening copper conductor band that is driven deep into the to ground , again please do seek professional advice if in doubt .
First time watcher, and I just love that things are done correctly💪, many would just have welded that hook on without cleaning it first. I love to watch when people are skilled, don't cut corners, so a subscribe from me, thanks for sharing, have some catching up to do😊😊
lol when u r doing this as a business and time is money, all that prep to weld on a hook that’s not only lifting light weight, but only gets cut off as soon as it’s lifted, all that preparation is a complete waste of time….. which in turn is a waste of money. But I guess for the production value it makes it worth it!? I Donno.
You have a great 2 story foyer to show off the floating stairs framed in by your large, light n airy custom windows. You've done A LOT of metal work between the cargo carrier and custom walls, and other things like your roof frame. You two exhibit a lot of motivation. I gather your ranch is located in Southern Oregon on the coast, with a reliable "public" water source and not far from a town on the coast. Since the cargo carriers have been on the ocean for a number years, the rusting on the coast shouldn't be too serious of a problem provided you or future owners paint them periodically every [ten to 15 years? Or more] (the lift might come in handy for that provided you maintain access around the 3 story home). Your home is looking most impressive. You will be able to find any leaks during the winter once the home is closed in. Will be following your videos...interested in your insulation install strategy with all the windows. Also, I am assuming that you have certain county inspections to meet code...that might be of interest to your audience. Ian Anton, who built earthen homes in Southern Oregon managed to work with the counties to meet code requirements. He was one of my college professors at the U of Oregon, in Eugene during 1971-73. Interesting environmental advocate. Thanks for sharing your years of work, fun and enjoyment at your ranch! 😊
Those Plasma cuts are so unbelievably straight! Nice work!! Looking at the top of of the stairs, is there going to be much room at the landing for turning around? Like, will this be the main stairs for getting furniture up? It kinda looks like you'd be making it feel less tight up there if you could slide the staircase to the right about a foot
Thank you so much!! The landing is something like 45" x 6.5" so it's pretty large. Worst case I guess I will just have to make a chandelier hoist lol :)
when you were holding the ladder, you should put your feet behind the feet so it doesnt slide out... pretty sure it isn't gonna fall left or right. Also only need to if it's slipper surface.
You should buy a 12 volt winch that you use on a truck and Jerry rig it so you can use it inside of you building to move that steel around..Food for thought..
For sure!! We have one that we used to lift the large yellow horizonal beam into place (that was SO scary...) but we need to figure our a way to mount it to something to make it more mobile. Definitely on the "to-do" list lol.
This is the first time I've ever watched one of your videos, just out of curiosity was there any plan to insulate behind that C channel before you attach it? I'm not even sure if you live in a place where it gets cold, but was just an observation.
You guys really need to invest in a MAG DRILL since you’re working with mostly metal. Why don’t you cut out the stair case on the level you have it now since your floor is concert. I blows me away how long it’s taking you to build your container home. I guess living on the Oregon Coast does come with its own set of challenges.
It's definitely taking time but we are only 2 people and we have to learn each step along the way which adds a lot of extra time. We for sure need a mag drill in the future! :)
I don’t mean to be a pest but if you use a straight edge along your line it might make it easier. I know that we get use too what we normally do but you may find that it helps you could use a bit of steel I have even see some people use a brick so long as the thing you use is straight and dose not burn
GOOD JOB, BUT, YOU GUYS COULD USE ONE BEAM IN THE CENTER AND PUT THE STEPS ON IT. THIS BEAM IS TRONG ENOUGH. SINGLE BEAM IS EASIER, LESS TIME AND CHEAPER,
If I spent as much time as u did just to weld a D ring to that channel just to hoist it up, I’d be out of business! Do yourselfs a favor and buy some 3’ or 6’ rigging straps! Not only is it faster and far less work! But it gives you the ability to adjust the position of the strap to get the stringer in the perfect position! Another trick in this same situation that saves time and gives more adjustability is to take a tube or solid wood post and catycorner it over the floor opening to hang your blockNtackle from it that way u can center it over the opening if u r doing a single center line stringer. But I’m guessing you are doing a single wall mount stringer with the steps floating out the side of it? If so, the channel is a good structure to work from, I would definitely try to weld it to that 1 structural wall support for solid support to keep it from flexing and twisting. Ahh just got to the point where u r going to notch it to hug the tube! Very smart!
I don’t do no mushrooms at all they are very nasty my MOM made me eat them when I was a lot younger I am almost 55 years old I stopped eating them at 13 years old because I went to work working 50-60 hours a week
I have been watching since you set the footings for container #1. It is rather embarrassing that I don't remember your name. For three years I thought that your husband's name was Violent and from Czechoslovakia. I do remember that I called those lifting things chain falls. I am not suffering from some brain wasting disease, I am just old. But I do look forward to every video. By the way, you should inspect your chain falls, especially for worn out links.
As an ex owner of a machine shop/Job shop I did years of all types of welding. I personally do not want to see you weld with no protective leggings. From personal experience in hot weather I had no protection on my arms and so I have many white spots on my arms that do not tan from where I was burnt and kept on welding as one does when you're working. Remind me of the old days when you smell your body burning but you keep on welding lol.😊 Love the build.
I think you are awesome. My brother is/was a top notch welder for the navy. However, romancing th stone is boring. For this I will not be subscribing to your channel at this time

Thank you so much!! He definitely is big on precision and analyzing! :)
Great work guys 😊👍
Quite the project, those stairs. Can't wait to see how they turn out! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much!! It's coming along nicely :)
Wow that’s awesome! You guys are the metal workers! Stairs are complicated as it is, add metal stairs and the skill level goes up! Good job you guys!
Thank you so much!! :)
Who said that clickbait was a thing of the past?
Yep, she suckered me in too. But I watched it anyway.
My first thought was, who welds in their underwear?
@@ioswd1 Thought she was wearing L'Eggs 😂🥴 Would be a hell of an art concept
I clicked on this video just to read the clickbait comments lol.
I fast forward because I had a thought 😂
very cool stuff... can't wait to see the final installation!
Thank you!! We are excited to see the end results too! :)
I need to learn how to do my makeup as beautifully as you do! How many touch ups do you have to do? Realized that is one of the major reasons i love your podcasts! Thank You dear!😅
Thank you so much!! I usually don't do any touchups unless I have to touch my eyes a lot (like if I get something in my eye, etc). :)
I know Welders and Fabricators, You are amazing at both Plasma cutting and Welding. I Love watching this build come together!
Thank you so much!!! :)
You guys continue to impress me. These stairs are going to look grand.
Thank you so much!!
You both truly amaze me. You take the challenges head on and you hit them on the head each time. Love watching! 💪
Thank you sooo much!! :)
Wow the stairs will be really cool & nice. Great job alot of figuring it out. ❤
Thank you so much!!! :)
Y’all have patience beyond measure. Love watching.
Thank you!!
So glad UA-cam suggested your channel to me today, Very Cool progress! Look forward to next update video
Thank you so much!! Happy you found us :)
Nice work you two
Thx so much!!
Nice, can’t wait to see the next step!
Thank you so much!! Us too :)
This is the first video I have watched on your channel. I’m hooked, and have subscribed. Great work guys.
Thanks so much!! :) And welcome
looking great

You guys should have a lot more subscribers!! What's up with that? Love what you guys are doing!
Thank you so much!! We're working on growing our channel :)
I hope you consider keeping the rusty patina... So cool...
Thank you!! The rust is enemy #1 when living on the coast, but I agree it does create a cool aesthetic! :)

Thank you so much!! Definitely a good point to make! The containers are grounded so we should be good. :)
Awesome engineering good job 😂😂😂😂😂
Can't wait to see the next "step"!
Thank you!! Us too :)
Great work team !!! I’m loving the build series. Hello from England UK 🙂👍🏼
Thx so much!! :)
Another great video
Thx so much!! :)
Nice work and so much things to consider to make it right 👌🏻

I'm here for the thumbnail !!! But I love the house you guys are building.

Hi just a quick tip cutting with plasma clamp a straight edge to material and run plasma torch to that
Thx for the tip!! :)
Awesome progress...Well Done. Just be careful with that Laser in your eyes, can damage them.
Thx so much!! Will do :)
looks good for only second attempt
Thank you!!
Thumbs up -👍on video
Thanks so much!!
Vedėjos akys gražios😁
Please! Get this BEAUTIFUL CREARTURE to look into the camera!
Have you not heard of that new invention called drill bits.
Hope you drill holes in the base plate before welling.
Yes we did :)
No PUR spray insolution on the inside of all walls and roof against condensation, or will you cover the full outside ?
We will do spray foam for insulation.
You should buy a 12 volt winch that you use on a truck and Jerry rig it so you can use it inside of you building to move that steel around..Food for thought..
For sure!! We have one that we used to lift the large yellow horizonal beam into place (that was SO scary...) but we need to figure our a way to mount it to something to make it more mobile. Definitely on the "to-do" list lol.
👍👍👍
Thank you!!
Woa! Whats the weight of that large piece?
I can't remember exactly, but I want to say somewhere around 300 lbs?? Maybe a little more...
This is the first time I've ever watched one of your videos, just out of curiosity was there any plan to insulate behind that C channel before you attach it? I'm not even sure if you live in a place where it gets cold, but was just an observation.
Yes we will be installing spray foam behind the stairs :) great question
🇳🇴 Greetings
Thx for watching!

Thx!! :)
Did you take a course on the Welding and Plasma cutter or is it all ' Trial and Error ' . Happy Trails from 🇨🇦 to the 🇺🇸 . ✌ out. L8R
Thanks so much! I am self taught in both welding and plasma cutting. :)
@@PacificPinesRanch self taught but becoming a Master. Always impressed with your ease and skill with the torch 🙂
@@PacificPinesRanch I learned the same way. Your doing great.

Definitely!! lol
And now on our next video we will show you how to install two steps
Lol alllllmost

Glad the thumbnail is click bait sort of. It looks like you're not wearing enough protection.

Seems like you would wont rust proof the backside of the C channel.
We do in the next video :)
You should were a dust mask when grinding. Not good to breathe micro metal dust !!!!!
We typically do but we should wear it more :)
you talked about your hair. I could see it curling/frying from the heat as you were talking about it.
Lol you live you learn :)
you no what would bring in the views? if we didnt wear pants in the thumbnail
..... they're brown pants
.......jetzt wird es klar......ich wußte nicht gleich, was gemeint war.
So you're removing rust from steel in the rain and using a sand/water blast medium.....ok then.
Yes.. and it worked great
.
Thank you!!
I don’t do no mushrooms at all they are very nasty my MOM made me eat them when I was a lot younger I am almost 55 years old I stopped eating them at 13 years old because I went to work working 50-60 hours a week

Question: Is it worth it?
Right off the top, understand that I am huge fan of construction. The formulation and progression of an idea from electron flicker to sketch to deep dive, then execution and finally completion with the myriad adjustments made along the way as problem emerge, despite best efforts to anticipate everything. In my own case, one or two shipping containers would have solved my problem with a recalcitrant rural building office manager who shot down every question with "the answer is no because we have been screwed before by people like you", meaning owner-builders. His "solutions" would have meant that all my materials and tools would have been sitting out in the snow and rain while I was living obliged to camp in a trailer park as he would not allow me to park a temporary trailer, on the 96 acres I wanted to buy, and sleep and eat in it.
This is the first time I have watched one of your vids and undeniably what you have accomplished so far is pretty amazing.
But, part of it reminds me of when I went from altered off-the-rack to tailored suits. When illness brought significant changes to my size and shape I could no longer waltz into a menswear store and snag a size 38-39 regular and get out the door with nothing more than pants cuffed. The last I tried, ready-made alterations almost doubled the price. So, I stopped into a little Greek tailor shop (we are still friends 38 years later) and picked up a custom-made suit for about 25% more than off-the-rack.
So you get the drift of my question? Is working within the constraints of a literal box worth it? Was it less expensive, both financially and in every other way imaginable, to go the container route rather than all the other choices available to you?
Wishing you smooth sailing as you have, clearly, already pushed away from the dock, lol.
All the best, mj
So far it's very much worth it. I'll probably end up doing a video about the pros and cons of our experience towards the end of the build. :)
I look forward to that!
