If nothing else, you are resourceful and persistent.
Yeah great to finally get those beasts in place :) thanks man
well done sir.
I can't believe you did it. You don't know "give up". Never should have doubted you.
Persistent, determination, motivation AND a touch of having fun.😊👍
I like the sound of that recipe! :)
Thanks Cynthia! It's been a doozy
You can’t beat perseverance. Good job. 👍👍👍
Absolutely. This one took a bit, but worth it. Big thanks!
There are some who walk their dog on their property, you walk your shipping container, each his hobbies :D Well done !
Hahahaha … I love that! Thanks for the encouragement
dude this build is so epic!
Thanks to your keen eye, help, and encouragement! :)
I always thought it was 38th try is the charm. Happy to be proven wrong! 🤣🤣
38th! haha ... well, you might be right :)
Way to stick with it. 👍
Big thanks! Yeah, definitely a long haul
love your show good job have fun thanks
Times like that the winch remote cord can never be long enough. Glad you are safe. I always say the same thing, I don't do how to videos, I do how I videos and you may not want to do it how I do it. Keep up the good work.
Yeah a little luck goes a long way. Thanks for checking out the project and good hearing from ya
Just watched all 3 trailer-barn videos this morning, this was fun to watch. I think I enjoy your videos mostly because you use the tools you have and you figure out a way to get something done with what you have, like back in the day when folks had to use what they had. Looking forward to this build. Be safe and enjoy your week!
Nice to hear that my approach and perspective on getting things done is coming across. Thanks so much for that! Much appreciated
AWESOME! I feel like there's a bit of a theme in the background where the timely wench upgrade was an instance of providence or something. All of its just sorta come together at the right time.
You're absolutely right about that winch ... it really likes to work. Great to have it and don't know how I got along without it. Thanks man
Well, you got two containers...and a heck of a learning experience!
Absolutely. I don't think I'd do it the same way again, but it was a great process to go through
i‘m so deeply impressed by your hard work and i always have to laugh out loud when you telling us in the end:
dear children don‘t do this at home because it’s not a ‚how to’ but a ‚i did it so‘
you are really creative and persistent - great job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 🙋🏼♀️
Thanks for following along! always nice hearing from ya
Glad it finally worked out for you. Can't wait for more build!
Big thanks! Yeah it’s coming along
Dang you got it done! Looking forward to the next episode!
Big thanks! Yeah it was a bit of a challenge but lots of learning opportunities.
those chains are supposedly unbreakable, except you got a big boy winch and a snatch block
unstoppable force vs immovable object
Didn’t even break a windshield. Shocking!
I see you simply cannot contain your enthusiasm about this project. 😋
haha ... I am a bit fixated on the whole thing :) Hey, I finally got a moto ... lots of fun!
What works best for me is to lock in in 4 low and set the parking brake
Great job I always like how you don’t give up!!!
Yeah about that parking brake (rusted out a few years ago and never replaced it) ... on my list!
Lol I understand how that goes, I have a long list of things I need to do too
That was a tough go moving that one. Those hi lift jacks work great but can be really sketchy too! I speak from experience. :-) That winch has really come in handy. I'm glad it all worked out!
I'm kinda surprised the hi-lift design is still around given the number of pinched fingers and smashed toes we've all experienced with them. Still, very handy (as you say).
@@metaspencer Handy but dangerous. Don't have your head in the arc that the handle makes going up or down! Catch you on the next one!
Just came over to watch your channel at the suggestion of Chad from Adler Farms. Great vid! Subscribed now.
Great to hear! :)
It would appear as though you’re missing a friend with a hydraulic toe jack.
ya know that thought only crossed my mind ... about 1,000,000 times! I was out there kicking the dirt asking "Why?! Why!?"
Oh… man, was I happy to not see your tongue sticking out well you were double jacking those tall boy jacks
I had one of those come loose and hit me in the chin when I was about eight years old… stars.. then knocked me clean out…. Amazing the rope didn’t break but the chain did that’s just almost mind boguling. Cheers.
Wow! So, how heavy are those containers? Much heavier than I thought they were, by the looks of things. Breaking chains and cables is very scary stuff! I have faith you will be ok at all times...
These guys are 8,775 lbs empty and they were pretttttty much empty. Definitely too much for my tractor to lift, and I thought it could lift anything :)
It's a crazy world we live in That a synthetic rope Will take more than a chain
It blows my mind, and the rope was getting frayed even ... unbelievable.
success bro... git r done, good method for sure, product failure is reality....
Thanks man!
@@metaspencer gonna be attempting the project this spring when snow melts, thanks for the detailed videos, had this idea for a few months then stumbled across your project, gave me some new ideas and some cautionary pauses too..... all the best in the new year
Excellent! Let me know how it goes if you think of it
Get a few sections of 4” steel pipe, you could pull it anywhere you want. But, considering how much pipe is these days, you did great with the wood👍
I see what you mean there ... good idea. Hopefully I won't have to move them again ;)
If you coated the pipes or boards with liquid dish soap, the friction would be reduced.
try a tire rim under the winch line next time, as close as possible to the container, the lateral force from the pull and the wedging effect of the rim will lift the attached end of the container off the ground making it easier to drag..
cool idea! that makes good sense ... thanks man
Ive seen people pull stumps and and old posts like that as well. I watched most of your build last night, Great job on the structure and editing! @@metaspencer
@@LaoWaiJac thanks buddy!
I agree Spencer.... DO NOT DO WHAT THIS GUY DOES, I on the other hand would have used bigger LOGS to roll the container and not drag it ass into the ground....muahahahahhaa
Big old logs! Great idea man ... you could build a great pyramid of shipping containers that way, I'm guessin
The container is not a BAD BOY!
I was wondering in the beginning if you asked the delivery guy if he could move the old one. Then I figured he didn't winch the containers onto his trailer. I'm hoping to build a similar structure in the next year or so. Making notes on what not to do
Oh how I asked Jimmy to lift that other container ... I even offered him $100 (don't think I had it) ... he didn't want to go off the gravel with his truck for some reason. Oh well, it was a learning experience
do you have a drawbar for the tractor? Either way you got it
I don't! I've been looking for one and should probably make one ... even harbor freight where I am is sold out of them. next time!
The container is not a guy!
I'm surprised you didn't slip Jimmy a few hundred to snatch the first box and move it onto the pads for you when he was there delivering the second one.
Oh boy, I tried with old Jimmy! He had four bald tires and recent memories of getting his truck stuck :)
@@metaspencer Maybe ythat was Jimmy's way of telling you a few hundred was maybe too little? You got it moved in the end..but what a pain!
I'm thinking of a build almost exactly like this. Mind asking what you have in it at uts current state in your last video?
I don't really keep track of expenses and costs, if that's that you mean :) But it is my firm belief, having built this building, that you can build a regular pole barn for less $$
@metaspencer well I was making plans on a house with that design. You think it'd still be best as pole barn? Me doing labor or buying kit and they get structure up?
@@bmerrittful You could build it as a pole barn (post frame) or stick-built like a traditional house. Either way. You have lots of options
Hey Spence, how did you you obtain the shipping container and what did it run ya?
I got these containers at different times from an outfit called "Container One." I think the first one was $4k and the second one was almost twice that due to pandemic inflation stuff. So they're not cheap. I have a buddy who just picked one up for $3500 but it's a low cube ... it would be nice to find them second hand and local but I couldn't in my area
Did you move to NY? I thought you were in IL.
Yeah you got it: NY these days at least. Setting up shop, as they say
You could have gotten the Amish community out there with they're horses, 100 men and all the women coming by to cook for them.....Now that would have been a video...
For sure -- man power x 100.
The chain is not a guy, and lucky for u cos u killed the chain...hahahahahahaha
Oh ouch! Yeah those farm jacks are crazy: when they're not pinching your fingers they're falling on your feet. The box slipped off the black jack a few times but luckily the red jack caught it. Yikes!
Being a tree guy, and with the $$$ of 4" pipe, why not get some trees under it as rollers? Just askin...
It's funny: I had planned to roll it over there on logs but when the first few dug into the ground I just opted to drag it. What you're describing would have been much more elegant
I was wondering if you needed content that's why you didn't have jimmy move it for ya 🤪 lol
I asked him ... even offered to pay him! but he wouldn't do it. Bald tires on his truck and too much mud ...
@@metaspencer I wanted content sounds cooler 🤪 . Great job with your build and the channel.
These guys??? come on man its "this gravel" why do people call inanimate objects guys or gals....sheeesh and chop chop
I guess it's easy to find companionship among the rocks and stones of this world, treating them like people and friends :)
@@metaspencer 🤣👍
he really needs help doing that
And yet, it all worked out :)
