  • i used to build those in Gmod :)

  • i used to build those in Gmod :)

  • my life will be complete when my house has a north and south tower.

  • You definitely have money. Even shipping container homes arent cheap. The only thing I would change is to re-name the "North & South" towers. {Creeps me out!} Enjoy your retirement. Cant wait to see it done.

  • @NCHollop It's the cheapest home that has such durability. Shipping aside, i can get refinished and painted containers for 1500 bucks. thats 320sf of space. insulate and heat and you have a living space.

  • @TheRealBoyardee I love the idea. How many containers will there be? Almost done?

  • @NCHollop probably 1 to start. i never said i was building one, though.

  • @TheRealBoyardee Oh ok. I thought you were making one. They sure are cheap.

  • Keep posting videos as you go.

  • After playing Garrysmod, I can't take this guy seriously.

  • Real life Minecraft

  • Is there an update to this video since it was posted 2 years ago? AH HAH never mind found some. glennonseacanhome*ca

  • My gosh where are all you people getting all this money!?!?

    Do you have absolutly no life? I can do this to but id only see it a few hours a week....WTF!!!

    I just dont understand....

  • @Dexxxter7780 Then you should have listened. This is for their retirement.

  • @Kanoki989 OoooooooooohhH...lol thanks for clearing that up :D

  • To much Gmod? 

  • This Reminds me of Garrysmod.

  • @kokarorloli haha yeah :P he is probadly a fan of Gmod :P

  • Cellphone reception must be atrocious, I imagine you would need a repeater inside.

  • Nice house and how you clean the snow on that roof?

  • i've always thought our financial way of livign seems unfair for people. I think people should only really be paying for the labour of their house being built and not the actual materials as this si somethign you never actually aquire a such. YOU are only actually using the space to live in. I believe we could introduce lower cost methods of living and only charge for labour but not materials which are plentiful. Its like paying for materials that will eventualy be demolished. just labour

  • I can't tell if he's thinking OUTSIDE the box, or not.

  • what about lightening?

    

  • i like but i think i would put 6 of them underground in case things at ground level get crazy like NWO or nukes -

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • This should be finished by now. Is there an updated video?

  • Cool, thank you for sharing.

  • I've done this. Garry's mod

  • This is great. Fuck the haters. Live off the grid and tell the government to fuck off.

  • what about corrosion

  • Minecraft much?

  • @VagrantNoName Correction: Garry's Mod*

  • i knew a guy that did basically the same thing with mobile homes,it looked like shit on the outside,but inside was pretty cool.

  • really good idea, but don't leave the containers exposed or it will look ugly. Just use it for structure.

  • This is a man who has played far too much garrysmod =\

  • your family must be huge.

  • this looks more like a castle than a house :/

  • Stucco finnish?? Why on earth would you change the look of the shipping container.

  • lego for my age

  • Reminds me of Half Life 2 & Garrys mod

  • wat a guy

  • Is it finished yet?

    

  • wow you would boil in summer.

  • @MrElectrodesign i think they will have ac...

  • That looks like an average noob fort in Gmod. xD

  • @SuperToasterCat ha ha lol ..i recently seen a vid on you tube called "war of the servers" and it had those gmod things in it

  • is it wierd how when he said everything was solar i looked to the side and saw a solar panel ad?

  • Comment removed

  • must be a millionaire to afford those containers. those containers are not cheap

  • @mogges1 You can buy the large 45 x 10 shipping contains for about $3 K each... what they are worth in scrap. Once they make it here to the U.S they are basically worthless since we don't export anything... But that's a different topic. =P

  • uber legos?

  • Bare steel walls will be freezing in the Winter!

    Best Home insulation in compressed cannabis hemp! We grow and sell it in the UK.

  • When you're finished, the government will label this a "compound" and lay siege to it under a bogus premise just for shits and giggles. Luckily though, they can't light this one on fire.

  • @jwalker477

    Can still drive an M1A1 abrams through it though, sure that will be a blast.

  • @Dethreid abrums is a piece of crap lol they where supposed to get 12 thousand but only got 8 grand . even then they mothballed half of them to get parts

  • @jwalker477 They can still blow it up like they did last time.

  • @jwalker477 can't light it on fire.... but it sure will be an excellent opportunity for those neat little thermite bombs!

    Love this guys idea and progress so far!

  • @jwalker477 Hey now those children had assault rifles and were conspiring to overthrow the government (aka file for no taxes under religious purposes). The ATF did what they had to do by sending in a flame thrower tank and burn down that building with babies in it. PS this comment is total sarcasm oh and PPS I'm voting for Ron Paul

  • @jwalker477 It's weird that this is true and scary but you still made me laugh

  • A monument to bad taste.

  • What happens if it gets hit by lightning?

  • @iamgabrielf i was thinking the same thing. i'd imagine it'll be grounded somehow

  • DID he make this on MineCraft ??

  • Are you going to include any home automation? remote controlled lights etc...

  • Its like minecraft '-'

  • The Department of Homeland Security can search that house at any time.

  • A metallic existence. He should play heavy metal too to suit the atmosphere and the occasion.

  • looks solid

  • cocaine boiler? damn.......

  • @meforgodforall

    ABAHAHAH

  • @meforgodforall he said propane tard

  • minecraft in real life

  • Good Idea. I was looking at a similar option for a Skate park facility. The container is the structure, and it is a pretty strong structure to build upon. All the best :0)

  • ...Thumbs up if this reminded you of Minecraft..o_o..

  • @TheCravenHeart How can this is anyway like minecraft? Look up Gmod...

  • That's going to rust like a bitch.

  • HALO---- Foarge Mode!!!

  • im pretty sure that his living room smells like rust :)

  • THIS IS THE MEANING OF RECYCLE

  • @Bionikskill Negative Captain Uneducated, it's called Reuse.

  • I want to do something like this but sadly will never afford it. My plan was similar with the 2 side containers vertical as "towers", but then coat the whole thing in a few inches of cobb, a kind of earthwork. Waterproof, fireproof, and a great solar mass for your heating. Plus it looks like stone for that classic castle look.

  • I wonder how much one shipping container costs. He used 40 of them? I am sure I cant afford one!

  • @traderjoes he said $1000 each unit

  • @Eels88ya if u click on the link it says $3500 for each container and total cost of everything is probably $600,000

  • Must be noisy as hell in rain storms

  • @redraider5001 Nah rain on a metal roof is very relaxing and not really as loud as one thinks.

  • Garry's Mod in real life.

  • Not the first to do it but its seems as though it's the most elaborate Ive ever seen.I visited their site and the progress they are making is amazing.I just wonder what the total cost when completed will be? On there site he explains that he took blocks in the same general proportion as the containers and came up with he basic idea. AWESOME idea just like designing your own log cabin with Lincoln logs. I admire them for their tenacity

  • Just saw your most recent video. It's amazing what your family is doing. Continued success. I'm VERY jealous!

  • How much would a project like this cost?someone please tell me.

  • post apocalyptic industrial castle imo, just needs sentry guns n rocket launchers n stuff :p

  • @nephildevil Fallout, for real *-*

  • lego for adults

  • cool man! great idea!

  • why not

  • Why make a video of it if you're not going to show the inside?

  • @hydrobot2003 thanks for saving me the time not to watch it =D

  • @PoetryonMusic watch part 2 then

  • @hydrobot2003 There is a part 2 & 3.

  • You can follow us on our website which is updated monthly at glennonseacanhome.ca This home does take time with only 2 of us building it. Thanks for following.

  • Comment removed

  • Looks like its coming along, would of loved if you had made this video when the home was completed ! So next time when your making a video, don't post until you done. It had to visualize what you finish home would look like.

  • @Tokrb these things take time ! - perhaps watch part three [just came out this month] /watch?v=kfqlim6N4lI

    they are nearly there now - IMHO. it's looking good

  • @VonLeachim

    Can you post a link to the 3rd Video you mentioned, cant seem to find it. Thanks ! ; )

  • I suspect the reason he doesn't show us the inside is that it's not so "amazing" once you cross the doorstep.

  • how much does 1 of those containers cost and where can you get 1?

  • I am talking about the overall finished product I am sure that the only thing he used was not just shipping containers..it would be foolish to think that was the only materials he used obviously dry wall or some kind of insulating on the inside..then you add in the foundation digging out the below ground compound..I am guessing a lot more than 30,000 finished product if you are not him and do not know the exact price why would you answer my question..I was asking him not you..

  • how much does one of these babies go for?

  • @MrObveous777 Watch the video again, maybe you will learn something.

  • @MrObveous777 well you can buy a container for around 2k so do the math

  • Thats so much Garrys Mod xD

  • Uuuh, that thing's gonna cost you a hell of a lot more than if you had just built yourself a home conventional style. You're just some guy with too much money whose out building himself a new toy.

  • @BloodTar are you crazy? the video only shows ~8 containers, the final product is going to be 31. a "conventional style" house that size would cost over 10 million. "Glennon estimates the home’s final cost at $600,000."

  • @Ara604 I'm actually working on a plan for a 6 container (40 ft. size) house. The cost for just the containers is around $24K. I can probably get the whole thing built out for another 50% on top of that. I just saw a listing for 1.85 acres right outside of Ft. Worth for $85K. That house on that land is going to be really inexpensive for a lot of house.

  • @HumbleWillis nice man. I honestly want to make a container house some time in my life. you should make a video of your completed project some time in the future, I'd be interested in seeing it ^^

  • @BloodTar well, 10 million might have been a slight exaggeration, but 5 million at least

  • A few more years and this will be a post-apocalyptic country castle...

  • Nice. In the UK you would never be allowed to build anything like that. In the UK you need permission just to fart - and it takes months for them to deal with the paperwork.

  • @grundgemonster Here in the States you can't build anything like that within city limits. Cities have tons of building restrictions and requirements. However ... there's still plenty of land out in the county if you're willing to build there. I'm actually seriously considering moving to the country so I can build whatever I want.

  • Pretty awesome undertaking, but DAMN is that thing ugly.

  • all i want to know is will is will it pancake collapse during a fire ?

  • does anyone know of a video of his complete house?

    

  • Its like GMod

  • @RYDERkN Exactly what i tought xD

  • i want a spot to tinker..:(

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for this inspiring video!

  • how much did this cost...to finish.. i could not hear you..

  • brilliant man !

  • it's just like Halo's forge!

  • Where does one get a sea container?

  • @fredhandl ebay. 

  • @johny260 And how is it shipped?

  • @fredhandl trucks, ships etc etc

  • @fredhandl look on ebay.com type shipping container or do a google search.

  • pygmy legend for sure!

  • what a hoot!!

    

  • WHERE THE FUCK IS THE FINAL RESULT

  • I can't speack to much of my projects because the forests could fill up of people and that is what I don't want. The people must live in the cities with the criminals and the police kicking their ass.while me I will live in the forest with my friends the cougars, bears, crocodiles and moskitoes.

  • @barbarotico Well, at least your grammar is country.

  • The system want that you buy a house to enslave you working like a slave to pay off that house. The system want that you buy an car of the year dressed up of innecesary and stupid luxury. The system want that you depend of all those ridiculous and stupid i-phones good for nothing. The system want that you use credit card to enslave you with the debit. The system want that you purchase insurance for almost all your life activities. the system is an enslaver

  • Why so many ?

    I just need 4 40's

  • 31 containers?!

    That's not even a castle.. That's like an entire self-contained estate!

  • This masonic zionist system will go down by its own weight because is a system that run against the natural laws.

  • i have built something like this in gta4 with simple native trainer

  • I'm tinking to buy a container and build a house underground type bunker in the wilderness to live hide without paying money (taxes) to the fucking system.

  • @barbarotico lol man you mean to grow weed

  • @barbarotico

    "The fucking system"

    How cute. XD

    Reminded me of Lonely Island's "Threw It On The Ground". You're living in a country consisting of people. The people make up the country. Everyone's money makes up the country's economy. You are no exception. No one is.

  • @MagnusRulerHardt I'm the exeption, because my balls say that I'm the exeption. are you a fuking judge? a fucking lawyer? a fucking political... All those "careers are careers good for nothing because the system will fall and all those ridicule anti-natural "knowledge" good for nothing will not halp you in a true situation of emergency. I like that those type of idiots city-guys don't learn nor prepare themselves for a true life demanding situation.

  • @barbarotico

    You spelt "exception" wrong. Haha, your comment pretty much proved that you're 14 years old. How cute, once again.

  • @MagnusRulerHardt oh yeah, when the people don't have arguments tend to attack the spelling. that show that i'm winning the batle of ideas.

  • @barbarotico

    No, you seemed not to understand that there were two parts of my comment. One part attacked your horrible, horrible grammar. The other part informed you how childish your previous comment was. You obviously have no understanding of how economics work at all. Not even a clue. You, a kid who doesn't even pay taxes yet, only know that when a person pays taxes, he gives money he has earned to the state. LOL. There is a little more to it than that.

    It's "battle", by the way.

  • @MagnusRulerHardt AND THAT MONEY THAT HE GAVE TO THE STATE, THE STATE USE IT TO PAY FOR WARS AND TO CREATE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND TO GIVE PART OF THIS MONEY TO THE TERRORIST STATE OF ISRA-HELL. MY ADVICE, TRY TO NOT PAY TAXES TO THE GOVERNMENT.

  • @barbarotico

    And I thought Obama calmed the war? It seems I know more about your imperfect government than I do.

    Haha. Just imagine. Everyone stopped paying taxes. What would happen? Everything you are is taxes. Everything you walk on, everything you see and everything you possess, comes from taxes. You are just too young to understand how taxes work yet. Because you are probably 13, all jokes aside. About 50% of taxes go to national defense. 5% to the war. The rest is social security.

  • @MagnusRulerHardt you must work to pay taxes, people like me that are over you and over the system try to live without paying taxes.

  • @barbarotico

    I know. If you don't want to pay taxes, what you have to do, is not have a job. That's always a choice, you fucking retard. I wonder why people want jobs at all if they have to pay a percentage to the state that houses you them and gives them rights, money, free education and free security... Weird.

  • @MagnusRulerHardt You work for me, that is all. But when the system that support me fall (social security, wellfare ect) fall then I will get a container and live away from the cities plagued by civil strifle and criminality. I will live near a forest. But now, go to work because you have to support me with your taxes. entendistes?

  • @barbarotico

    I don't work for you. You're not paying me anything... I am not doing work for you... Lol. This "when" you just made a theory of will never happen. Stop being a little wannabe rebel kid. Oh so rebellious. You're such a rebel. Lol. No, but seriously, you live with your parents still. I work freelance making music. The government decides what to do with the taxes I pay. They mostly go to fixing Norway up, and some to welfare. Living in a container, you don't get any results for taxes.

  • @barbarotico You sound fucking retarted kid, shut up, finish high school (cuz I KNOW there's no way you're in college) and then go live your life. Once you learn how the world works and how it can be changed then you can start talking, right now you're just shitting on everything and giving people who actually know and uphold those ideals you "value" a bad name

  • @BlueStrikeP the system create a new unnecesary product and put it as "necesary" and even creates a fashion with that stupid and unnecesary product example: (the i-phone).

  • @barbarotico I hope you go live in the wilderness. Nobody wants you crazy maniacs running around that hate technology, want to live alone, and aren't intelligent in any way.

  • @barbarotico no has to buy an Iphone... people buy it because they want it not because they need it... so stop being a dick if you dont like this country then GTFO you dont have to live here

  • @BlueStrikeP another thing, why do you want a fucking computer in your house? that is aq corruption box that is good only to see pornography

  • @barbarotico u mad bro? cuz i like to know there's a retard pissing all over himself. keep it up bro, your stupidness is a great source of entertainment

  • @barbarotico How are you replying to these comments if you hate computers so much?

  • @mking2012 I hate them but they amuse me.

  • @barbarotico

    You are a fantastic troll.
