p>We've all seen the huge shipping containers piled high at just waiting to be shipped. These steel boxes, usually 20X50 feet, have a lifespan of about 30 years. However, most are only used for about 10 years and are then put out to pasture. They can be bought and turned into a fantastic, modern home! Shipping container homes are being built all over the world. They are fireproof and low maintenance. They can lessen your clutter, give you an opportunity to live simply, be environmentally conscious, build on a budget, and do something totally modern that will wow your friends.
We've all seen the tiny homes. Shipping container homes are about the same size, but they are permanent. In fact, some people are buying multiple containers and building a modular house. It can be any size you want. The small houses (just one container) are what caught my eye. I can't imagine what's involved in actually making the container a home in terms of permits, but it is doable. Lots of people are doing it. Here's a few pictures to give you an idea of what the finished home could look like. The creativity of people is never ending.
