  • What would something like this run if you built it yourself?

    This is the most practical design I've seen so far.

    Great Work.

  • @azis1100 Thanks Azis1100, I'm really not sure but I can get 2 used 40ft shipping containers for 4k. I dream about building one but I don't have that much expertise in building. I'm sure I could do it and do it cheap.

    With today's housing market so low it might not be worth it, but to me it would be because it is different, strong, earthquake proof and it uses old containers that would otherwise be sitting on some dock because we import everything and hardly export anything.

  • I like it man...

  • @jayde1ash Thanks Jayde1ash, now i just need to build one for real.

  • @shiesty90 It'll have to be located in a milder climate and the owner will need a bigger bank role. But it's definitely doable.

  • Respond to this video...That sounds cool also. Yeah I have designed about 50 different models but in reality the building codes are to strict in the US for most of them but they would be stronger than 99% of the typical houses. I would love to build a whole community of shipping container houses if I could. I looked into Supertherm to coat the outside for insulation also. What do you think?

  • @shiesty90 Aah, the middle.. I had a simple mock up except with a 3rd container center across the top of the two with the roof angled front to back. All the open space from the roof covering the second level, framed and closed off opening up the first floor (high ceilings). With a Hay bale exterior.

  • 2 containers with a large interior with steel girders between the 2 shipping containers that reinforce the floor. A queen size bed is only 5' wide.

    Internal Dimensions of a shipping container are:

    Length: 39' 1"

    Width: 7' 6"

    Height: 7' 8"

  • That's either 4 containers or the smallest ikea furniture available.

  • @gamealogic cool im working on mansion indoor pool and all
