leveling the shipping container

now you can see what happened to them blocks the other one broke the same way but they've been sitting on there for a while so we went ahead and got some new blocks we're going to be using cat blocks oh a little thicker a little heavier so we'll see how that goes you um [Music] hmm [Music] [Applause] that should work better hopefully so uh so [Music] this [Music] so so [Music] all right that looks so much better hopefully this thing won't break the block like the last ones i don't think it will i think we'll be in good shape it looks a lot stronger than these oh yeah a lot better pad i think that'll work out real good so i'm going to go inside and check the levelness believe it or not before we even came out here to move these block the old block out of the way this container was perfectly level both ways it was perfectly level both ways so let's go inside and check it out okay it's a little bit dark back in here but i don't know if we can see i got a level on the floor here let's see what it says here i don't know if you can see that bubble that thing's perfectly level it's not out of line at all it's perfect so i know it does feel like it's going uphill so this side down here needs to be lifted and we got another level down here check this for level down here and uh we're actually pretty perfect right there look at that you could go up just a little bit but not much so let's get us some stones in there all right we'll get this front jacked up get our new blocks under there too so uh [Applause] it's a little bit high right there we lower it down on our blocks we'll probably be good [Music] it's the only crazy thing yet the only thing that supports the corners the corner is the only support you got [Music] let's see what it does to these blocks hopefully nothing oh yeah all right all right we got it setting on the blocks and the crazy thing is is the it's it's like those little corners are basically the only thing that holds the building up that corner and that very corner as you can see there it's not like straight across it's not like this right here right through there is not you know touching the block it's just basically that corner but it's been sitting here for a few days uh quite a few days and they sunk down pretty good and we are basically level if we can see that bubble try to get the camera down here so you guys can see we're perfectly level so hopefully this will work out okay for us and we'll keep an eye on it we got the jack we could always jack it up and i bought some of these wedges these wedges here would be nice if i have to wedge it up just a little bit one side or the other so at least we got on some pretty good uh blocks this time you
