Everyone has a dream house of their own, whether it be a small and cozy bungalow or a three-story mansion in the French countryside, all mancaves differ greatly.
Andrew Camarata built his dream house by stacking shipping containers on top of one another for months, and now he has put the final touches by painting the new metalwork on the container castle.
Camarata’s channel is filled with videos where you can get insight into how he built his container castle from doing its roof to getting the castle blocks right. His modern twist on a famous medieval-time building is just a feast for the eyes.
Computer Science graduate went handyman
Andrew Camarata, who is an American handyman and business owner, specializes in property maintenanceand excavation since 2009.
He apparently started working with his father who is an expert mechanic and craftsman. He would fix all types of engines and machines, which was the reason why he developed a passion for machinery and excavation.

Making a castle out of shipping containers
In the latest video of his current project, he makes the finishing touches of his shipping container castle. With all that large steel plate welding experience he got from this project, we wouldn’t be surprised if he said his next task was to build his own battleship.
Shipping container structures to win
In another video, he talks about how you can start building your shipping container project. According to him, building a structure out of shipping containers is a fast, easy, and cheap way to put up a strong, fire, and wind-resistant building. Moreover, arguably the best thing about them is that you can easily make additions in the future with more containers.
