#### Hurricane proof. The Carribean and Bahamas could use those. For what it cost to rebuild there just buy a container pre finished in the states and stack them
Than build a decorative facade than can blow away every 10 years
I have been thru a Few of them.mjd4277 Thanks this. -
Aside from that, these make perfect units for island living. -
Here’s the one I’m working on on the Big Island. 20ft will be a finished tiny home, 20ft will be a “garage” area.tommymonza, Swiss Mountain Dog and NYCNick Thank this. -

I have seen some photos of some very handsome looking homes built from containers. I've had some thoughts rattle around in my head about doing this as well. I have been to countries where people cannot get mortgages. They build their houses piece-by-piece when they get a spare a buck or three. This would seem a greay way for them to get housing.
I am thinking it would take a very user-friendly housing housing code inspector to make this a reality in the US.Long FLD Thanks this. -

There's a guy (little bit crazy) near Terlingua, Texas who is building a home with the 40 foot containers. He took 4 of them and set them up on the corners and built the rest of the walls between each container. Did a huge greenhouse type roof over the entire thing. It's a huge square with a massive open courtyard inside anchored by the containers. One is a kitchen, one is a den/office and the other two are single bedrooms with private baths.
mjd4277 Thanks this.
