I'm glad that he spray foamed on the interior walls but he used metal framing attached to the shipping container, (if you don't know), if the metal framing is touching the shipping container interior walls and then you hang drywall on the metal framing it will transfer heat from the outside to the inside and because the temperature difference on the outside and the inside it will create condensation on the metal, and that will rot the drywall and it will cause Black Mold in the home. Also everything that isn't water proofed will rust. Making a shipping container home is a delicate process of know how and research, if you just go at it without enough research it may look nice now when you're all done but it will not survive the test of time and all that time and energy will be wasted in 5 - 10 years time or sooner depending on the conditions. Also, he poured cement for the floor with zero reinforcement, that floor will crack to hell and back as the shipping container shifts and settles. He didn't put any rubber down before putting the mounting plate down on the cement witch will also cause more condensation that will also cause more rust and mold. Jumping on the band wagon to gain views for a YouTube channel is cool and all but don't follow what he does to a T, know local building codes and make sure you follow proper building procedures so that you don't make a costly mistake following what this guy is doing. His building procedures may differ from where you are and even though he has made some mistakes, the biggest mistake would be making them yourself without the proper research or know how. This is my opinion as I've been building tiny homes, homes, and boats, and have renovated all that were mentioned for nearly 15 years now.
