So far this has been the most enjoyable and rewarding thing I have ever made as a maker…Well, besides Carys. I have always wanted to have a DIY sod roof so when I was designing the shipping container I figured this was my chance. It was also a good opportunity to have a green roof tutorial to share on my channel. If your curious about how I designed the green roof drainage, It is covered in our shipping container conversion series video 5 and 7.

An old church and a group of farm buildings built in the traditional Icelandic way with turf walls and roofs with grass on top!! Oh and some impressive mountains in the distance.

Wish these videos were easier to find, to watch in consecutive order more easily. This project is Amazing!
The beginning of this.. HAHAH yes
Beautiful!
This looks awesome, I love how you layed out the roof shingles. Is there a particular name to this styl and do you just kind of wing it or is there a pattern to follow. Thanks, love your videos
You can make it yourself, just loook and learn from woodprix .
Just wondering, how do you mow the grass?
Best how-to video I've seen lately. Excellent videography and narration. Thank you for keeping it concise. And a double thank you for not adding music.
why grass?? why not native growing stuff??
1000 points for everything you did so well. one thing is put a tarp in truck before rocks and when you can pull it forward the rocks will dump into a buckt. well done on everything
Glad to have found your channel, this build is awesome.
great work!
Just binge watched this whole series. Love the build. Cant wait to see the rest of it!
So I agree with Dav Snow below. I actually wasn't planning to watch them all tonight, but I got a bit addicted. You do make it very easy to watch, listen and follow along to the end. I cannot wait to see the inside when you get it completed. I am totally amazed of the job that you did. I mean, of course along the way, you had some help here and there, but basically, you did this completely by yourself. I am also very impressed with your complete knowledge of a complete build on something like this. It reminds me of my dad. You know the saying Jack of all trade master of none, well, my dad was a jack of all trades and a master of all. It appears that you are as well. I am totally impressed and I just love how charming your work shop is looking next to your beautiful home. Great job!!
Really nice work. Enjoyed watching the whole series. Two thumbs up bro
waiting for the rest
Loved loved loved the noises! :)
it would also help to insolate and help prevent the sun from heating up the container great idea , artistic , functional and affordable
You are very talented & I love how this is coming along. I remember when you were describing what you were going to do & I wasn't sure you'd be able to pull it off but you are. :)
that's alot of lifting. lol
just curious-did you consider a roof garden?
