  • @scottyd71981 because that would imply that the second layer of shipping containers was further away from the surface than the first, thus the circumference of the second layer is longer, and thus he would be lying if he said "you can build a 16 foot wall around the equator."

  • One word - JAPAN!

  • @dlpnrmp1212 dude you pick your fate in life. You decided not to go to college and that's what you get.

    Don't hear me bitchin I worked on aircraft carriers for 20 years and didn't get payed shit. Oh by the way I own a 20 foot container and I'm not going to thank you.

  • Dude what's your problem? It's just a shipping container. Nothing more.

  • Try hand unloading one of these almost every work day for 15 years!!! Believe me, i lived my working life in these!! Don't wanna come "home" and live in one!!! So for anyone who has one or more than these as a house--YOUR WELCOME!!!!=== MY BLUE COLLAR HANDS JUST CLEANED YOUR HOUSE AND GOT PAID JACK SHIT FROM IT!!!! AND IF YOU DON'T APPERICATE IT ---G.F.Y.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sincerly A MOTHER FUCKING HARD WORKING AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • a visionary group does not apply, this is simple.

  • why is this any different from a hotel room in america? a splinker system?

  • noise and vibration would be the next step, as well as fire protection and security alarms and fire escapes.

  • electrical and water are easy to get in, the problem is sewage. i'm surprised i was able to make a comment. when you don't ban comments, you get to real solutions, no salesman.

  • when ever i se comments apending approval and all that BS, why in the hell post it on youtube in the first place? don't waste yor time.

  • I can understand the concept...BUT...when I see STEPHEN HARPER.....BARAK OBAMA...ect...living IN CONTAINERS AS WELL...then...AND ONLY THEN.....will I GIVE IT A THOUGH!!!

  • This is a great concept overall. Eco Friendly and saves people the cost of a regular house construction. We have one in Canada for Park Model RVs. Check our videos on our channel to find out more. We agree that this is the way to build houses now.
