Like everything else these days home costs are skyrocketing. Construction costs of new homes are being effected from the materials to the shipping. When considering these factors it makes sense to look around and see what we can use to build a home, using what is existing.
When someone suggested using shipping containers for a home, I thought they were joking! My experience with a shipping container was pleasant, but then of course I was only shipping home my bike from Singapore, I wasn’t eating, drinking, sleeping and relaxing in it!
So much for my creativity. I googled “containers as houses” and was amazed at what I found.
Yes containers can be used plain and unmarked for student housing, emergency relief shelters and industrial parks. But I also learned containers can fit into the chi chi neighborhoods in places where the HOA will frown on anything not stick built and pricey!
I challenge you to do some googling yourself. Share with us what you come up with. Maybe a builder will log on here and tell us what it would cost to convert a past it’s prime shipping container into a gracious recycled home.
It is worth it, or not?
