    Seriously... AG1 is no joke. I dare you to try it!

    Most benefits are gone once you start deviating from the container formfactor and adding metal work. If you make clever use of the structural integrity you don't have to invest nearly as much into the foundation either.

    If I was wanting the Pacific bin look, I'd just make it out of wood and clad the siding in something like roofing material that gave the look without all the hurdles. Best of both worlds. The idea of reusing something like a shipping container is awesome for people worried about waste and who want to reuse a product, beyond that, to me , the benefits arent there. Great video, though and I look forward to the next buildings you make.

    Devon, I really appreciate your brutal honesty and thoroughness of your videos in detail, your container home builds are truly awesome and beautiful, keep up the wonderful builds Devon!
  • @kevinlewis5194
    Great video about being transparent about container homes. It's very appealing when you see other vids claiming under 10k container home. But, reality sets in when you have to do it correct, like you did. Keep up the good work. And, beautiful house brother.

    THEY NEED TO BUILD CONTAINER HOMES IN FLORIDA👌👌👌
  • @madmaximus2836
    Regardless of the issues, just did a fabulous job. Congrats!!
  • @Natedoc808
    AG1 is great, as is framing out of lumber instead of shipping containers
  • @MartinTabanag
    I have been binge watching your videos for 2 hours now!
  • Awesome video for being honest with the work and problems, we don’t see enough of that. I think shipping container homes and “van life” are quickly becoming the carpeted bathrooms of the 2020s. In 2-3 years they’ll be looked back as “I cannot believe people did something this stupid. And they celebrated and encouraged it”

    2:10 Do you need closed cell spray foam both inside on the ceiling and outside on the roof, or can you just do the roof?
  • @josephjoe9088
    So are there any benefits in using a container for a building if you are not doing a simple block I guess for lack of definition. Great job BTW It really looks beautiful
  • @Lyudtaru
    Yeah. This is the hard truth, but they're still awesome.
  • @rickyjames7355
    How much would it take for you to do 2 container to make a house and get it contracted?
  • @user-nv4mj5rb4n
    Factory built homes are the way to go. Mass production efficiencies, proven designs, engineering and manufacturing techniques.
  • @hermesperez3905
    I know you sell the plans but would you consider writing a book? I think it would be helpful to many people including tradespeople. Just a thought. Thanks for all your advice.
