the problem with exposed steel structures,ie,in this case,shipping containers turned into modular homes,despite protective paints,is that it will still rust away!!!
If you are considering modular or prefab home, building with recycled shipping containers is worth taking a look at.
Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A SHOWCASE OF SHIPPING CONTAINER HOMES AND BUILDINGDS, AND A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND? ARCHITECTURE.
Lots of great example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles...
Interesting..where can I find more? I am interested in building a home in the NE USA 3000ft, but need ideas and how to info. Can anyone stear me in the right direction?
I love the container housing concept. Just wondering how does it hold up to Radon radiation? Are insurance companies wanting to insure these building? Are banks wanting to commit loans for these buildings? Is it easy to build these in any place in cites?lol
I have. An a home owners insurance protects the home owner from a multiple of problems that could occur. Accidents on the property is one issue I'm really thinking about.
I'm a student in Real Estate & Urban Analysis! From research these units/block maybe the source of future housing boom. The average unit life spand is over 100yrs when stationary and can be build at half the cost!
Hi. The song is called "Bug Powder Dust (dub)" by Kruder and Dorfmeister of the "K&D Sessions" CD. All of the songs on this 2-CD volume of music are awesome!
give a university engineering class the task of making the most efficient use of a shipping container for a 2 person dwelling...i bet they could come up with some amazing ideas!

@Apvatar3000 Nothing lasts forever. With proper maintenance, these could last for 60-100 years.
