I don't see the point of the shipping containers.

Thank you for adding the video. Don't let people bring you down because you did not use enough containers, or that the container was used over "cheap wood". Every little part adds to the big part being done around the world to help; reduce, reuse, and recycle. As a side note; what other green ideas are you installing?

how much were the containers?

[monkeysize]

Really?  The title of the video should just be "House-framing"

[MatlasX]

WTF? The containers are no more than an after thought, not an essential component of the home. Why not just build a conventional home?

This guy davidbrianmay is probably getting a grant from a university to propagate this green propaganda by the looks of his page. How's he going to assume they are not going to properly handle the contruction cleanup. There in the process of construction.

I think this place you're building is marvelous. I live near a port and I've been researching the possibility of aquiring a shipping container.

If you have tips I'd be interested.

omg. i am speechless. and not about the design of this house. look at the waste and the state of that worksite. i have never seen a site that messy before. why bother try being green if your not even going to be dilligent about construction waste. or could it be that you decided to build your house at the garbage dump?

i always thought of building with containers as a cheap replacement for other solid materials like bricks or concrete. why do you replayce cheap wood by cheap conatiners? do you need the containers as some kind of structural core supporting the entire woodconstructions?
