    If you had 4 containers you could use them as corner supports for a roof - you could then use 1 for a kitchen & dining are, 1 for a bathroom & the other 2 as bedrooms. By spacing them out you could build a shell around the outside to seal in the space & then have a large living space in the middle that is totally enclosed.

    I’ve been watching you guys for 2 years, in that time I’ve lived in the same place the whole time. Meanwhile, I’ve seen you build and live in a van, then a temporary house while you build the sail boat, move to Hawaii, move to another temporary house and then a tent house and now shipping container 😲 you guys are truly inspiring! And you work so well as a team ❤

    One of the things I love about your videos is there’s always something new to learn. Even though as a 65 year old rooted to home I’ll never use the info Lou shared today about leveling the land, changing the tractor tire, falling trees, or painting the inside of the crates white, it’s still such fun to learn such a diversity of skills and in doing so increase our personal knowledge. I really appreciate you all taking the time to explain and give reasons for why you do what you do.

    Just caught up from when you guys were doing your winter build series on the boat to now. Amazing to finally be watching you guys building this stuff in real time now. I’ve been watching for about 2-3 years now and it’s amazing to see the journey you’ve both been on. And to see your family growing from two to four. Freya is such a good dog and Max seems adorable (I like how you’re showing him but also not showing him to keep him somewhat offscreen for his privacy). So so so excited to see this shipping container project come to life. Very jealous, but I get to live vicariously through you guys ☺️ hope you’re all doing well. Can’t wait to see what you get up to next

Our Andersen window guy said he had a whole warehouse of wrong size or "changed their mind" doors and windows that if we wanted to make a greenhouse down the road, just give him a call. I thought maybe this would be an idea for y'all??

      Also insulating from the outside would avoid condensation on the metal, but trapped by the insumation.
      Solid natural fiber insulation like straw and clay mix is capillary enough to wick the condensation out, though. In case you go that route.

    As soon as you cut holes in the sides of those containers, their structure will weaken substantially. The more holes and the bigger the holes, the weaker they'll become. They were engineered to have solid sides. I guess you're outside any authority to enforce building codes, so good luck with safety. And good luck insulating those for the winter. Remember snow can get pretty heavy.
