How does one keep the metal from conducting heat during the hot summer months?

[idekithome]

the isolation make all the difference, the metal is like wood

[idekithome]

erm, what?

[thecampustv]

not really - but we do have extensive experience in dealing with "out of the box" design & technology in construction.

we are building the first earthship in FL right now - a 100% off grid home. We literally amended the building code for the entire state to pull permits. We are also doing a zero energy conversion on a historic building using experimental techs from around the world.

if interested in learning more feel free to contact us

@davehutchinson67 is that a 40 foot container?

here in denmark I've seen nice looking 20 footers for little over 1k$

[davehutchinson67]

@DanFrederiksen in Baltimore...I can get reefer containers for about 2k a piece..in decent condition...I'm in a port city..so it's a bit easier here...so with buildout....even with land...I think I can get it done for about 50k.

[DanFrederiksen]

@davehutchinson67 no I'm not kidding. unless you want it to look like a stack of containers it takes a lot and with a lot of restrictions.

what do used containers cost?

[davehutchinson67]

@DanFrederiksen are you kidding? You can get a decent size container house for about 40k. these are a little ridiculous...you can do it very inexpensively.

[DanFrederiksen]

thinking outside the box... COME ON! : )

the only real merit I see to this type of construction is that it can be strong enough to take a cataclysmic tsunami and float if built right. otherwise I'm not sure that much is saved if anything

[1joanpr100]

Love this idea, who can I contact for more information and prices?

[Scootertuner1000]

@idekithome Isolation = isolement. You mean insulation.

[Scootertuner1000]

@idekithome Insulation not isloation
