We converted a 45 ft shipping container into a tiny home

Jul 24, 2023

A COUPLE has converted a shipping container into a tiny home with a washer-dryer.

They shared how they converted the 45-foot space into their dream home.

Matt and Paiton (@mattandpaiton) revealed their DIY project in a video with their TikTok followers.

"This is our 45-foot container home located in Washington state," she said.

"Matt and I had the container delivered and began converting it all on our own."

First, the couple removed rust from the container and re-painted and primed the outside of their home.

Next, they added frames inside the container for the walls, as well as building a roof and lean-to.

After they insulated the container, they added a subfloor and vinyl flooring, as well as tongue, groove walls, and a quarter-inch plywood ceiling.

"We love our home and are so happy with our decision to live tiny," she said, panning over their full kitchen, living room, and even a built-in washer and dryer.

People took to the comments to share their thoughts on the transformation.

"Insanely awesome! Great job!" said one commenter.

"You two did an outstanding job! Love it!" said another.

Others were fully inspired by the couple's home: "I love this and I am so ready to go tiny," said another.

"I'm retiring and it's just me and my dog, nothing is stopping me but me."
