  • @svenglezz These things travel across the ocean in the elements. They're water tight enough to make a home out of. With simple welding, they're easily made into swimming pools -- that means WATER TIGHT. A traditional stick-built home requires MUCH more energy to transport all the pieces separately. The beauty of the containers is that they are easily shipped because shipping was their origianl purpose. I could go on, but why waste my time trying to open your mind?

  • @YiuTeub They just insulate them properly. Idekit has done this flawlessly. Check out their 3,000 sqft home they built in Canada for 175k

  • @svenglezz Need alot of time though. also it kinda sucks in cold climate from what i hear. Bale housing is good too but the time thing is a luxury most dont have.

  • should of used sleds!

    what does the container sit on ?

    sorry Im clueless when it comes to construction.

  • Please go on :o)

    Just keep in mind few things...can't build this anywhere, some locations you don't get this room for trucks and cranes to make it possible, let alone in remote locations.

    Another other point is if you build with earth-bag with wood it is 100% water/air tight asseblie, plus 90% of the earth wall is from the ground (no transporting at all). Check out my vids' for multi-house this is just one design that takes no cranes and anyone can build them :o)

  • why use this? the amount of energy needed just to creat/stack etc. not to mention the steel uses a huge carbon footprint and in the end the house is not water tight and/or storm proof'

    I have some video's for simple water tight' proof home

  • Wow, I like it. Ive been looking into this home style for some time and have actually drafted one up and built a small model.  I'd love to see it in person, Upland isn't too far from me. Great work.

  • BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEP

  • 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...
