In Episode 2 of How to Build a Shipping Container House we will go over how to move shipping containers with a crane and place them onto the concrete foundation. I will show how I cut openings for doors and windows in the shipping containers and then welded in different types of steel reinforcement. We started the process of installing the plumbing in the floor of the container and show how we had to cut away some of the steel beams to make room for the pipes. I will also talk about how the structural requirements for reinforcing shipping containers and outline the wood structural system we installed in the container. #shippingcontainer #shippingcontainerhome #shippingcontainerhouse Follow us on instagram for project updates: https://www.instagram.com/benjaminuyeda/ The PDF plans are on the website for this Container House Project: https://www.themodernhomeproject.com/#/floorplans/ Links and Notes: GoalZero solar panel and power packs: https://www.goalzero.com/shop/portable-power/ Eric's instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/cut_werx/?hl=en The Forney Welder I used for all the welding: https://amzn.to/2H2pXMD Ryobi Angle Grinder https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-18-Volt-ONE-Cordless-4-1-2-in-Angle-Grinder-Tool-Only-P421/100519983 Ridgid Angle Grinder https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-15-Amp-Corded-7-in-Twist-Handle-Angle-Grinder-R10202/300508297?cm_mmc=Shopping%7CG%7CBase%7CD25T%7C25-9_PORTABLE+POWER%7CNA%7CLIA%7c71700000044155732%7c58700004615424082%7c92700038837660435&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7ZzdzKjX4AIVvCCtBh0RhQnuEAQYBCABEgIVDvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Buying the Shipping Containers: We purchased one trip condition hi-cube containers. California requires that shipping containers used for homes have documentation showing that have not had toxic or radioactive materials in them. This normally means that you need one trip condition containers with appropriate certificates. I bought my containers from https://www.containerdiscounts.com/shipping-containers-for-sale-home-made-modern and paid $4800 each for the 40-foot hi-cube containers and $3250 for the 20-foot hi-cube container. Hi-cube containers are a foot taller than typical shipping containers.

In episode 3 of how to build a shipping container house we will show how we installed doors, windows, and insulation in a shipping container home. We experimented with different ways of reinforcing the openings we cut in the corrugated metal of the shipping containers and show how impacted the installation of the doors and trim pieces to cover gaps between the door frames and the containers. The star of this episode is the pair of JELD-WEN Bi-folding doors that we installed parallel to each other.
