Mate, well done with your videos! Don't stop, I've learnt a lot from your videos, they've given me courage to step out and soon do something for myself
It's great to see another update on what's been happening. Yes - life gets busy but it's up to you guys how much of that you choose to share. The new smoker looks great & the kitchen area sure is coming along. Re the flooring, have you thought about using stone or if you want something more temperature neutral there's always outdoor decking, or even a combination.
So true! Using stone is a great idea and would suit the overall look and feel we want too. I'll do some research into what we can use over the next few days 😁🙏
Thanks legend! It's been perfect for what we need. Always a work in progress but always moving forward with upgrades I don't think it will ever actually end 😂🤙
It's all looking good mate, well done. Just one Tip, voltmeters are not good for checking the state of charge on Lithium batteries, but as you probably have a good idea of your power usage it will do until you can get a good Lithium battery monitor later.
Yea we had that issue with the first setup we did, I ended up just using it for a quick trouble shooting point of call. We plan to run another Victron 30/100 solar reg like the ones in the tiny home, that will give us a real time battery specs on our phones for a more in-depth display. The Victron gear is great for that 😁😁🤙🤙
I just said to my family how funny it is to get so invested in the life of people you’ve never met because I got excited when I saw another video from you guys! 😂 Upgrades looking good and I’m loving the smoker 😊
Just a thought, with the kitchen bench, what if you made a frame mounted to the wall and studs, that way you could do without the back legs all together. It's looking pretty slick mate. Seeya Rob
Great video. Keep up the good work. Only thing is I would personally have mounted that power box on the post to give you more room on your bench and less chance of someone spilling their beer in those sockets. Yes I realise they have covers but they won't always be closed hey?
That's a great point, I never thought of that 🤔 I'll look into relocating it away from the bench when we do our next remodel, on the post would still work a perfectly 😁🙏thanks legend!
Hey mate, I've been trying to figure out the legalities of container homes and off-grid in OZ as I don't want to participate in this real estate insanity we've currently got going on. Most of what I've found makes it seem like councils and shires won't give permitting for this type of building; did you find an area that they're allowing it, or is QLD more lax than WA/SA/NT?
Every council has its own rules and regulations regarding container homes and off-grid living. Allot of research is required. And a lot of hoops to jump through. We have our current place as a temporary home while we build our main container home. Similar to living in a caravan while you build. These regulations also change with land size etc... probs not a definite answer you were searching for but best call the local council and get the info to make sure your in the right. Or just buy a big block and do your own thing in the scrub and tell no-one hahaha
@@offgridaus Thanks for that; we are still in the very early planning stages and so don't even have a region of the country selected yet. But it is good to hear that when we do start the shopping for property process calling the council is going to be a mandatory step to eliminate impossible situations. Seems obvious, really...

Thankless legend! that's the go, we had no idea what we were doing when we started, we just knew we wanted to give it a shot... so far so good! :D

I'd go some big pavers on the floor. Love the sink and the bench and the BBQ

That's not a bad idea, I can brace it off the uprights that support the window frame 🤔🤔 thanks legend! I'll look into it
