Joshua is building a workshop in Eastern Canada to replace two years of working on a wooden sailboat under a tarp, exposed to rain, snow, and Bay of Fundy winds.▶ 0:00 The structure uses two 40-foot shipping containers — each weighing 8,600 pounds — set on hemlock 4x4s on a slate pad, with a framed roof spanning between them.▶ 1:41 He chose containers for wind and snow resistance, secure tool storage, and portability: the roof is designed to disassemble and pack into the containers when the boat repair is complete.▶ 2:16 An excavator prepared the site; a driver delivered and winched the containers into position.▶ 0:41 Lumber comes from a local sawmill in hemlock, hauled in truckloads to minimize trips; a free 8x8 reject beam will later support the boat's keel.▶ 8:09 Joshua explains proper lumber stacking with stickers — thin wood strips that stabilize the pile, prevent warping, and promote even airflow for drying green hemlock.▶ 10:57 Two St. Bernard–Newfoundland puppies, Mara and Niska, also join the project.▶ 10:29 The workshop framing has not yet begun; next steps are squaring the containers and attaching trusses.▶ 6:48
