Couple Builds SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME With No Experience

Mar 05, 2020
When we decided to come here and do this for the first time, I remember telling my family and I just remember thinking we were crazy. Spencer didn't have any

experience

in construction or anything, obviously neither did I. We both worked in restaurants and this is exactly what we wanted to do and we just decided to do it like we didn't think much more about it other than we didn't want to look back one day and wonder what it would have been like if we had done it when we moved and got here and we were unloading the moving truck.

I started to cry because the reality was so great that we suddenly left our jobs, sold our house and now live in the woods in an old barn that we were initially going to be. Honestly, we thought we were going to buy a giant tent like a three-bedroom tent and make a living out of it with a dog, but no, it ended up working out. We knew the barn was here, so we'd just like it. rebuild a section of the barn and live off of it, that's what we did, there was no real ventilation other than just a screen that we put in a bug screen that we put in the middle section just so we could keep the bugs out. and allowing heat and humidity to escape, was a poorly planned design, it will simply make the house much more worth it.

He knew that Spencer was doing his best to investigate as much as he could and that was all awesome and all, but it was just inevitable that things were going to happen. go wrong at some point and at some point I mean every day so all this time I do my best to stay positive and try to make things fun and that's why I'm always joking and trying not to take the things too seriously because if you do it's pretty much a downward spiral, that's why I chose the no-pressure exchange instead of the pressure treatment, plus, you know, maybe we just don't like being under pressure, so As for construction, I built a TV stand and replaced it. some doors and some trim before we moved here so I didn't have any

It was like shit, this is real life. Only now were we worrying about where the house is and how to speed it up. We've never built a house before, so everything we do requires a air conditioning unit and a heater, I mean it works. For now, we started prioritizing what in construction is absolutely crucial for when the baby arrives and we decided that that thing was water, so we started the whole process of capturing our own rainwater again when we finally got water, I screamed. Eyes open because going so long without things like that for so long and finally having them again is incredibly overwhelming, like I can't even imagine, once we live in this house it will feel like a hotel, it's crazy because Looking back , if you had told me that this would be our house right now and that we would have built it, I would not have honestly believed you and I know that the only reason we are here now is because our house is the way it is.

This is all thanks to you, Spencer. I am absolutely amazed at how you have been able to figure this all out and teach me as we go. It's been great to be a part of it. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you. I know the house is not finished yet, there is still a way to go, but it will be done this year, since there have been mistakes along the way and I try to fix them and hide them as best I can, but not by much. would change and it has been a very rewarding experience and especially seeing how everything online disappeared.
I am blown away by the amount of support and love we received from everyone. In that sense, you are ready to work again, yes, a lot. Do you think anyone is listening or if this is just a transmission into empty space? What if some aliens are watching us somewhere? What if we are like a successful reality show on the planet? Making sure my eyebrows are perfectly aligned. I have a quick question: what is that? scary ok I feel like a fool yeah window no you literally threw a donkey at me it's just compressed grass that came out of a donkey's life uncontained in its infancy we'd be like a three week old three week old , three weeks, funny, sorry.
