First CUT Into Our New Shipping Container!

There’s no going back after making the first cut in the shipping container! This part of any project is always the most nerve-wracking but also the most exciting. With each milestone, we’re getting closer and closer to turning these three shipping containers into the perfect container home for our family.

Lou has learned so many different skills over the past few years from electrical wiring to plumbing to carpentry, but welding is a whole new arena! Luckily for me, he’s really good at picking up new things and he hit the ground running installing this 200-pound door.

By the way, what do you think of our choice of a steel door? I think it makes the container look like a human-sized safe! We might do a glass door in the kitchen container to let more light in, but Lou thought it would be a nice feeling to fall asleep knowing that our container was secure. We plan on putting in pretty thick insulation, so that’s why the door placement is so high off the ground. And the next time things warm up a little, we’ll get it all sealed and waterproof! Hopefully, once it’s all done it will be effortless to heat in the winter and stay cooler in the hot summer days.

Thanks so much for joining us on this shipping container build series.

Big hugs,
Dana (Lou, Max & Freja)
