This is the best constructed large, practical shipping container home/shop combo on UA-cam and is the only one I've seen up to industrial/military standards. Lots of useful info here as opposed to the usual shilling by people who do nothing.
Andrew, I hadn’t watched any of your early videos and didn’t realize the extent to which you had to McGuyver everything you did. Lifting the trailer up with the boom to weld under the castle was brilliant and something I would have done. 13 years ago I moved away from everyone and everything and have had to figure out how to do ridiculous things solo with the aid of machines. Man have you put in serious work. Thank you for documenting it. You prove that man at his best is creating not destroying. Carry on, Sir!
The ultimate guy home! I am very impressed with your layout and the location of your home. I can imagine rolling that barbecue onto the outdoor deck and grilling up some steaks! And your shop area is awesome. In my part of the country we call these types of homes grouses. Garage/house mash-up! I have a couple of friends who have done homes with a industrial garage or shop built right into their homes. Walk through a door and you can start welding! An overhead hoist on a trolley beam set up would be a great option for you. (I didn't notice if you had already built one into your shop area) Kudos for building what many of us oldtimers dream about, young fellow! You have shown the world what hard work and some real skills can achieve. Best of luck!
then you are one of the few women who are interested in engineering... its not typically what ladies like but there is a percentage of you out there representing... id love to make a house like this.... but i have a feeling being in idaho is gonna drive up the cost of shipping containers.
why would the workshop stink? i dont think clean workshops liek what i see can have a lot of smells... only time iv noticed a shop smell something other then dusty is when there is oil involved.... or rotting wood.
I agree! Check this out! You can build a small castle, if you want... I like this castle's garage. ua-cam.com/video/OFybIy8JEKM/v-deo.html Maybe the windows are small, yet it is a fragg'n castle!!!! and a nice sized garage too, plus a tower!
Awesome! I did a similar layout on a computer using a vertical container as not only stairs but for cooling/ventilation reasons. I almost flipped seeing yours actually built. Bravo.
Thank you for showing us through your castle. I have been wondering for a while what the internal layout was and was neat to finally see. Not everyone is so accommodating by sharing so much of their personal side. I also don't think your lounge/kitchen area was in any way a mess since it looked nice and tidy to me. Thank you again Mr Camarata. 👍
Love your castle of containers, it’s an amazing idea and a new way of building. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
I tried to watch other container homes and I just don’t like them as much as I like this one. I think it’s the combination of metal, concrete and containers that make it work so well together. You don’t lose the container in the build and the concrete and metal all work to make a nice home.
Dude you do the greatest craftsmanship and I have ever seen the way you utilize your space and the way it so gorgeous great job it really looks good you are a true Craftsman
hi Andrew, I had to search for a video of your house on the inside but what a very nice place. and now I finally know how you live. magnificent. greetings from Mathieu
WOW you do have a castle way freaking COOL thank you very much for giving us your inspiring home built out of shipping container's we do have way to many of them they are trying to figure out what to do with and you made a way to recycle containers best one I've seen yet
That's cool man. You're living the dream of every 12-17 year old boy that ever build their own tree forts and forest sheds. This is the adult version of the backwoods hangout. Just made WAY stronger hehe. Well done brother, that is an impressive home.
Amazing idea and so much more that could have been done different for those who are looking into the sea container home builds... This truly is AWESOME..... The possibilities are endless... not to mention price... lol cool video
I'm jealous as hell dude. Exactly what I always wanted; a nice property with a shop and a little apartment above it. You worked your ass off for it and deserve every bit of it. Only thing I'd do differently is have the hoist inside.
Wow, I am still stunned. And I spotted a sword on the wall ;) - This is a very creative and professional crossover of a Lego construction and a middle-age castle - applause!
That is totally AWESOME ! I just subbed a couple days ago and watched the video getting the new to you Dodge Ram Cummins fixed up . Dang Im impressed with your build with the containers . This video has convinced me it is the way to go. Im looking for a lake to live on and was thinking metal building with an apartment on one end but the containers are very versatile as you have illustrated ! Thank you for sharing , I Love it ! And the view , Im blown away !
Andrew Camarata - First I have to buy some land then the shipping containers. I just have NO CLUE as to where or from who to buy the containers. Then I'll have a friend of mine who's an artist make an animation 3D rendering with his CAD Program.
Andrew Camarata - I'm just going to keep it simple. The garage you built will be where the Electric car will go along with the charging station. The castle top will be a deck.
Thank you so much for putting videos of this up. This has inspired me and i will definitely be building a similar structure in the future. Not a copy, but then again imitation is flattery. Please keep the videos coming.
That's wicked cool! I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and I was looking through the old vids curious as to how you built your shop and was not expecting a full apartment in there lol. That's awesome when can you build me one lol.
Nice...if I did this on here in on Long Island NY I be locked up. Lol....Awesome when you stood units up without crane..... We build a few shops for concrete guys with steel trusses spanin width 40ft two high. Welded together. I wish building dept would accept this here. We put up BLUE homes with crane. Similar idea for ultra rich in Hamptons. In fact modular homed are now in with Richy rich. We put a bunch up. Your idea may catch on. Good job!
I totally LOVE this place!! That is really unique, creative, & would be amazing to live there! That would be almost as secure as sleeping in a bank vault! Id could live there in a minute! Thanx for sharing your videos about it too :)
+Andrew Camarata, Most Excellent job, hard work, mentally and physically! I am very impressed with your hard work. Wish I had done something like this when I was younger. Keep up the great work you are doing!
75k to 150k depending on how crazy you get it. Building it on your land, working class person with lost of common sense, NOT so common these days or as it may seem. love your palace build on America! we live for this shit
Aloha King Andrew of New York😎🏰 Love what you're doing to the place. Little curious on how or where you get your water supply and electrical from? Perhaps a future video.🌈
Thanks, I will continue to make videos of the progress of my castle, I am planning to add much more. Right now I'm working on the stairs inside the tower. That video will be out next.
A truly awesome job! Only I would cover it with something/paint the tinder blocks. I think it looks silly with the totally different colors all your blocks have. Plus...you have to heat that place man. You go to sleep and it’s below zero at the residential area you have. Really great job. I really enjoyed watching this video.
I've realized after basically being in the same industry and also living in a shipping container, I'll probably end up stealing this idea. I don't need a giant bedroom or kitchen, a single 40ft high cube is enough living space as is. Great job! Where did you find that span Crete?
What's the life expectancy of containers? Won't they eventually rust away? What kind of structural support have you used other than the corners of the containers?
DJDevon3 I I imagine they would last a very long time, especially keeping them painted, they are made out of corten Steel instead of regular steel which doesn't rust as quickly. I have some 6 x 6 square tubing and I-beams which support most of the concrete roof
Total guy place. My son would like a place like that... he lived in a shed that he and I built on our property in Calif. Much less extreme weather in So. Cal. :)
Wouldn't it be better to extend the drains in the cinder blocks longer so that water falls down instead of flowing down the side of your wall? Awesome buildig however and I can't wait to see the finished upgrades you are making right now! Keep up the good work!
we used to have a wood fired boiler that we used to heat a resturant boiler heats hot water which is circulated throught wall mounted radiators all different sizes and shapes
i'de love to see a video where you talk about drones and your experience with them also can you tell me if you have any videos of stacking these containers when building the beginning of the castle project thanks mike

Brian Garrow Guy home. I'm chick and I'm lovin it
then you are one of the few women who are interested in engineering... its not typically what ladies like but there is a percentage of you out there representing...
id love to make a house like this.... but i have a feeling being in idaho is gonna drive up the cost of shipping containers.
Ultimate home for a human sardine. Lol.
Castles 🏰 are always great!!
I LOVE this place! & That would be amazing to live there! Not to mention how secure you would feel. (I am also female) :)
This is the KING of container homes!! Your creativity is amazing. Thanks for this vid, great work!!
if you think about the layout it's really ingenious
living above a dusty, stinky workshop? yeah what a dreamy life
why would the workshop stink? i dont think clean workshops liek what i see can have a lot of smells...
only time iv noticed a shop smell something other then dusty is when there is oil involved.... or rotting wood.
Why would it be _stinky_?
Also, who cares about dust, that's what dusting is for, it's called upkeep.
@@stereolababy shut up u city living human that has never got dirty
kletbord ruthless
A house is not a home unless it's a castle. Ultimate.
Extensive workshop, too!
George Morgan 9
I agree!
Check this out!
You can build a small castle, if you want... I like this castle's garage.
ua-cam.com/video/OFybIy8JEKM/v-deo.html
Maybe the windows are small, yet it is a fragg'n castle!!!!
and a nice sized garage too, plus a tower!
A castle 🏰 is a home 🏠.
Awesome! I did a similar layout on a computer using a vertical container as not only stairs but for cooling/ventilation reasons. I almost flipped seeing yours actually built. Bravo.
Awesome! Now all you need is a moat and sharks with laser beams on their heads!
Thank you for showing us through your castle. I have been wondering for a while what the internal layout was and was neat to finally see. Not everyone is so accommodating by sharing so much of their personal side. I also don't think your lounge/kitchen area was in any way a mess since it looked nice and tidy to me.
Thank you again Mr Camarata. 👍
Love your castle of containers, it’s an amazing idea and a new way of building. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
every blokes dream, and your one of the rare breed who is living it, well done mate
Wow! Andrew, this is amazing! I just found your channel, and holy fuck, I'm glad I did. Very inspiring! I love it entirely.
Yes! Thanks for the videos. Place looks awesome, love the castle top idea. Soooo many tools, I'm jealous.
what your doing is absolutely gorgeous i am in awe. You are my idol.
Out standing project. Well thought out and executed. Congratulations, well done Thank you for sharing
I tried to watch other container homes and I just don’t like them as much as I like this one. I think it’s the combination of metal, concrete and containers that make it work so well together. You don’t lose the container in the build and the concrete and metal all work to make a nice home.
Paint it white and call it a "White Castle"! Love the videos, I'm hooked on watching them. Excellent work and craftsmanship.
Dude you do the greatest craftsmanship and I have ever seen the way you utilize your space and the way it so gorgeous great job it really looks good you are a true Craftsman
You re crazy genius man! Love it! Never seen something like this before
Had to come back and watch this again, look how young levis is
Way beyond cool........so many great things to say about your home......great job!
To think this was 7 years ago 😮 and now qe are in 2024 and this legend is building his second castle home, can't wait to see them video's.
I started rewatching the full container building process because I like it so match.
hi Andrew,
I had to search for a video of your house on the inside but what a very nice place. and now I finally know how you live. magnificent.
greetings from Mathieu
WOW you do have a castle way freaking COOL thank you very much for giving us your inspiring home built out of shipping container's we do have way to many of them they are trying to figure out what to do with and you made a way to recycle containers best one I've seen yet
Holy shit! Thanks for the tour, it looks fkn perfect! That's gotta be the best man cave I've ever seen!
That's cool man. You're living the dream of every 12-17 year old boy that ever build their own tree forts and forest sheds. This is the adult version of the backwoods hangout. Just made WAY stronger hehe.
Well done brother, that is an impressive home.
I'm just coming across your channel and I gotta say this place is AMAZING! Nice work!
Great piece of property and hot diggity do I want that container castle! Can't wait to see the updates and 'final' when it's done!
this is by far the coolest thing I've seen.
Amazing idea and so much more that could have been done different for those who are looking into the sea container home builds... This truly is AWESOME..... The possibilities are endless... not to mention price... lol cool video

Wow this will be AMAZING when it's finished. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Absolute beautiful work!!!! You are amazing!!
Jack of all trades. This is pretty interesting
Honestly, I'm just at a loss of words. This is just flat out frekin' awesome.
Thanks.
That is totally AWESOME ! I just subbed a couple days ago and watched the video getting the new to you Dodge Ram Cummins fixed up . Dang Im impressed with your build with the containers . This video has convinced me it is the way to go. Im looking for a lake to live on and was thinking metal building with an apartment on one end but the containers are very versatile as you have illustrated ! Thank you for sharing , I Love it ! And the view , Im blown away !
alot of potential for sure! I can only imagine what kind of get togethers you could have or bands playing on that rooftop.
Looks great. You have done a lot of nice work.
I FREAKING LOVE this video. Do you have blueprints for his home?
I kinda do. But it's pretty simple. You can pretty much copy it from this video.

Andrew Camarata Thanks. How much did the containers cost? And how much for insulting, plumbing, and renovating the living quarters?
Glad I watched this video before I asked where your home was in relationship to your hot tub and garage.
Thank you so much for putting videos of this up. This has inspired me and i will definitely be building a similar structure in the future. Not a copy, but then again imitation is flattery. Please keep the videos coming.
Nothing short of awe inspiring
That's wicked cool! I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and I was looking through the old vids curious as to how you built your shop and was not expecting a full apartment in there lol. That's awesome when can you build me one lol.
That is a very nice piece of land.
I like what you've done with it too.
I would truly love to build that structure as my home and garage. Well done.
Great design. Congratulations on a fantastic project. Vinny
Andrew!!! living the freaking dream! love it man!!!
Nice...if I did this on here in on Long Island NY I be locked up. Lol....Awesome when you stood units up without crane..... We build a few shops for concrete guys with steel trusses spanin width 40ft two high. Welded together. I wish building dept would accept this here. We put up BLUE homes with crane. Similar idea for ultra rich in Hamptons. In fact modular homed are now in with Richy rich. We put a bunch up.
Your idea may catch on. Good job!
Nice idea and a fantastic view. Love the bar area.
I totally LOVE this place!! That is really unique, creative, & would be amazing to live there! That would be almost as secure as sleeping in a bank vault! Id could live there in a minute! Thanx for sharing your videos about it too :)
The slab onto the container is a good thought
+Andrew Camarata, Most Excellent job, hard work, mentally and physically! I am very impressed with your hard work. Wish I had done something like this when I was younger. Keep up the great work you are doing!
What a cool idea. I realize there is much more to do, but I’m very interested in seeing the finished product.
His castle has come a long way from this video!! I would love to see him build a draw bridge! And a crane for Levi
It would be nice if the playlist was ordered chronologically!
very cool. can't wait to see finished project.
75k to 150k depending on how crazy you get it. Building it on your land, working class person with lost of common sense, NOT so common these days or as it may seem.
love your palace build on America! we live for this shit
Awesome, I like how the pick up matches the Castle.
I saw tanks!!!!! I know I’m late to the party but I love your castle. I’m new here and working on catching up. Hope the tanks are still there
Very nice
Really cool man , can't wait to see it completed .
Aloha King Andrew of New York😎🏰
Love what you're doing to the place.
Little curious on how or where you get your water supply and electrical from?
Perhaps a future video.🌈
dude this is awesome, loft over garage is my dream
that is an awesome castle! keep us up to date please? beautiful
Thanks, I will continue to make videos of the progress of my castle, I am planning to add much more. Right now I'm working on the stairs inside the tower. That video will be out next.
+Andrew Camarata roughly how much would it cost to build something like this
Loving your videos! And your home is fab!
This ranks among some of the damdest structures I've seen.
that's fucking cool in every way. I'm so holidaying in that place haha all the way from Australia
Your dog is adorbs.
It looks awesome. I look forward to see it when it is more complete. Great work ado far. 😁
This guy is living my dream!!
A truly awesome job! Only I would cover it with something/paint the tinder blocks. I think it looks silly with the totally different colors all your blocks have.
Plus...you have to heat that place man. You go to sleep and it’s below zero at the residential area you have.
Really great job. I really enjoyed watching this video.
Cool Andrew..Cool Andrew....thank you for the tour.
All I have to say is.... You are awesome!
Yep...watching old videos again!
Omg this is the freaking best place to ever live
I've realized after basically being in the same industry and also living in a shipping container, I'll probably end up stealing this idea. I don't need a giant bedroom or kitchen, a single 40ft high cube is enough living space as is.
Great job! Where did you find that span Crete?
The Great Hall is not bad but it needs a dungeon. It can't be a proper castle without a dungeon. And a catapult. It needs a catapult on the roof.
Charles Cosimano that's funny, I was considering building one.
you probably know you will never really finish this project. but its the journey that matters.great job andrew
Yeah your right, the next video related to this project will be up soon.
Great video of your shipping container home! Thanks for sharing.
What's the life expectancy of containers? Won't they eventually rust away? What kind of structural support have you used other than the corners of the containers?

Fantastic fantastic video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for this.
Great man cave. .
Total guy place. My son would like a place like that... he lived in a shed that he and I built on our property in Calif. Much less extreme weather in So. Cal. :)
Awesome building. Great theme
This is awesome. I too would do my own work. I'll be learning to weld soon
Wouldn't it be better to extend the drains in the cinder blocks longer so that water falls down instead of flowing down the side of your wall? Awesome buildig however and I can't wait to see the finished upgrades you are making right now! Keep up the good work!
Now how did your pooper-pupper get from the roof down to the second floor? I just love him!!!! (Oh, and your castle too).
I am amazed at how much time u have to do all this personal stuff and still do ur work , how the hell do u pull it off?
Love it and can't wait to see what it becomes!
Great location for your workshop.Great workshop!
You are all of your friends’ coolest friend
we used to have a wood fired boiler that we used to heat a resturant boiler heats hot water which is circulated throught wall mounted radiators all different sizes and shapes
i'de love to see a video where you talk about drones and your experience with them also can you tell me if you have any videos of stacking these containers when building the beginning of the castle project thanks mike
Nice place. I could easily see myself living there.
I love your Castle great location great video thank you for sharing
Love it ,I want one☘️👍
Awesome job! I wanted to make an underground bunker in almost the same configuration. That is a way cool place!!!
