what i do in a video game
all right welcome to the shipping container it's a 40 footer nine foot high just had her
delivered last week i'm back up this weekend to start working on it so i put her on
two railroad ties each so it looks looks pretty good i got all my materials here kind of pre-cut
everything hopefully it'll speed up the process but i'm hoping to insulate the floor
today and maybe start the framing so that's what she looks like inside
but yeah should be a busy day i really packed my truck full can't really fit anything else in
there so like i said the goal today i'm going to start insulating the floor so let's get to work
all right a quick update got the two inch high density foam going down first and then
some half inch osb and i forgot there's this metal part right here so i'm kind of just gluing it to
that and then putting three and a half inch screws through the floor so yeah it's going good like i
said before i kind of pre-cut all this i'm like three hours away from here so trying to save as
much time as i can so cut those at 92 and a half and they slid right in so that was really nice
so i'm gonna work on uh finishing the floor here it's going good
all right here we go we got the floor all laid down took like an hour so it's looking good
because i haven't mentioned what i'm doing here i'm going to do 24 feet of living space and then
this back half is going to be like a garage for my four-wheelers and stuff so i can just leave
them up here so yeah it's looking good now next thing i want to work on is trying to figure out
the framing uh i want to frame all this up so i'm gonna think on it and then uh get back to you but
yeah it's a hot one today boys got my shirt off already and it's not even 10 o'clock so
let's get to it all right here we are the next day it just got so hot yesterday it
was 90 outside who knows what it was in here it just was too hot to work i had to call it early
but i just standard framing across the back wall and then you know the
standard 2x4 framing at the top which seems to work just use these to help me get it up
but yeah it worked out good i'm using kind of the sideways method for to save me some space
toenail the top and the bottom down here and glued them in so they seem pretty solid
but i know the measurements for you know the top joists and the side studs so i'm going to pre-cut
them all at home and then just bring them up here it'll save me a lot of time which will be good
i think i'm going to paint the floor i heard there's like chemicals and stuff on here so
just to make myself feel better i'll put a coat on try to seal it up but yeah it's a good weekend uh
i'll catch you on the way back all right i made it back up north
like i said i pre-cut pretty much everything got my ceiling and my back wall i got some studs cut
got my front door right there so then the plan today is hopefully get the rest of the ceiling
in and get some a few more studs in and then i really want to start cutting a hole in this
thing and see how it goes so let's get to work all right here's the floor all painted turned out nice
and then here is the back wall that i pre-made and just slapped in and then the rest of the ceiling
slapped in yeah turned off my measurements were right got it all slid in pretty easily so
something that would have taken me probably all day i was able to get done like an hour so that
was awesome so now to the main event of today cutting out that window so i'm gonna measure it
up and then i'll start cutting all right here's my window frame i'm just going with pressure tree
two by fours so i just kind of made this stand right here of how high i want it have it sitting
on there and then i just kind of taped around just this that's that'll be my cutting line so
got it all taped out i think that's where i'm gonna want it i kind of made it so
it's on an out dent so hopefully the trim will then sit kind of flush
out there but oh i've never done this so i guess we shall see how it goes
and we have light oh man that went good you know i thought it'd be a lot harder but it
was actually really easy um it took me little less than a half an hour to just use my angle
grinder i only use one blade so i bought a whole lot but i guess i'm not gonna need all those so
now i guess we'll see if it actually the frame fits in there so all right
all right the frame just slid right in so i didn't have to grind or do anything there's a little
space in the edges but you know it's that's awesome i'm glad it
went so smoothly so i'm just going to button this baby up i think i'm going to put some
that window tape on the 2x4 and pop it back in and then just get it in place and slap that window in
awesome all right so the window is in put you know brace there and a brace on top i'll probably do
some more bracing later but this thing is pretty much solidly in there everything works good
it's got to do some a little more caulking around the sides but i'll show the outside quick
all right here's the outside i pre-cut and painted the trim at home so i
was just able to slap it in there cocked everything so kind of put it kind of flush
so i just threw some caulk on the sides and then i'm going to do a little drip
edge on the top up there so i got the corrugated steel i'm just going to cut it out cut out those
ridges and then put like a little drip edge on top just to keep it from getting water in the top so
yeah it's turning out good all right yeah here's the drip edge i was talking about i just traced
that corrugated steel fits up there perfect so there'll be a little overhang on top of the window
so i'm gonna paint it up and get her installed all right i got the window pretty much done the
main thing i want to do is get this door in so there's the frame i got a couple spacers to keep
the size of the door so same thing going to tape it up and then uh cut it out with my angle grinder
all right i got my drawer oh that breeze feels nice it's definitely not as hot this weekend
it's like in the 70s but still nice to get some air so hopefully that door frame will slide right
in there that took me maybe 45 minutes to do definitely a little longer than the window but
yeah got some nice straight cut so hopefully it'll slide right in all right welcome to the front door
yeah it took a little bit but uh yeah i put some bracing in right there along the sides
i've still gotta work on shimming it a little better but yeah it works pretty good glad i got it
all working so i'm gonna kind of just finish up doing the door and then clean up and then hit the
road still want to put one more window in over here so i'll define what size i'd like but yeah
today's one of those days everything just worked out you know it saved me so much
time just doing all that stuff at home and bringing it up here and kind of just
slid right in so great day i'll be back
all right i'm back it's kind of rainy this morning which is all right i got to test this
look to see if my window and my door were leaking so they weren't leaking so that's good goal today
is just to get this last window in there got it all mapped out and i'm just gonna go start cutting
all right just a nice feeling i got all my windows and doors cut out so got the frame
i'm going to throw that in there throw the window in and then uh get her water tight
all right here's the finished product of this last window i got a water tight all cocked up and
secured yeah i'm happy i got all the two doors and the windows that's pretty much all i'm doing for
openings in here i just got to finish doing the framing still probably work on that for
the rest of the day but i think i'll probably end it here you know it's been a good project
a few weekends i've spent out here but i want to do you know electrical and spray foaming
probably do like a separate video on that but yeah i'm pleased i'm happy with the way
it's turning out so far you know thanks for watching and i'll see you in the next one
you
