Building off the LegenDairy Goat Barn Container, this long term behind-the-scenes project will see us adding 2 additional containers and a concrete pad under a roof for a clean, level working surface. One will be used for storage, and the other will be converted into a workshop.

This is a side project that we'll continue to work on while we build our hyperadobe roundhouse!

We hope you enjoy this project - videos of each phase are down below.

Phase 1: Concrete Pad + Storage Container

In today's video we set the foundation, pour the pad, and get the first container delivered.

Phase 2: Storage + Guest Room

The Container Shop project continues with storage organization and some major modifications!

Phase 2: Guest Room Framing & Electric

Jett's room officially begins: the shipping container gets a framed room, electric and air conditioning!

Phase 2: Painting Container

We're nearing the end of the shipping container room project! Today we install a false wall and pocket door to close off the area, and even get to paint the outside, plant some garden beds, and make it beautiful and homey :)
