Would You make a house out of Shipping Containers?

These Houses Don't Look Like Anything Special, But When You Go Inside ...
By Danielle Beyer
You would never know from the outside, but these buildings are actually your dream home.

Via Morton Buildings
From the outside, this is just your typical steel shed.

Via Morton Buildings
It looks like anything you'd usually see on a farm or construction business.

Via Morton Buildings
But when you take a look inside ...

Via Morton Buildings
It's amazing.

Via Morton Buildings
This "cabin" was built for a man in McKinney, Texas.

Via Morton Buildings
And it's safe to say that we're all a little jealous of him.

Via Morton Buildings
It has everything you could ever ask for in a home.

Via Morton Buildings
Also, at 60' x 20' x 110', it's huge.

Via Morton Buildings
The project was built by Morton Builders.

Via Morton Buildings
They seem to build a lot of homes and cabins that look like steel sheds.

Via Morton Buildings
Here's another, more scaled-down example.
It's not as extreme as the other, but they all seem better than your average "cabin."

Via Digital Trends
Here's another example of home's built from non-traditional material.

Via Digital Trends
These are re-purposed shipping containers.

Via Digital Trends
If you consider yourself pretty handy, you might be able to build one of these pretty inexpensively.

[Doobie Doo]

Decent-sized shipping containers cost around $1,500.

Via Digital Trends
The cost of remodeling, however, is totally up to you.

Via Digital Trends
Some are pretty simple and serve as cabins or even really elaborate playhouses.

Via Digital Trends
And some are a little more upscale.

Via Digital Trends
You can stack them.

Via Digital Trends
And keep stacking them.

Via Digital Trends
Or lay them out in a row.

Via Digital Trends
You can also go crazy with fun designs.

Via Digital Trends
And make them all kinds of modern-chic.

Via Digital Trends
The possibilities are pretty much endless.

Via Digital Trends
The best part is that you can put them almost anywhere you want.

Via Digital Trends
They're pretty much the most versatile homes every.

Via Digital Trends
Because, after all, they're basically just high-end modular homes.

The first one with the high ceilings is nice, but it would cost a lot of money to heat and air condition. The one's with regular height ceilings would be easier to heat and air condition like a normal home.
I would do it if I could. It's metal so it's not going to be eaten by termites.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

hell yeah

 

[Malta]

Yes, without question, at the end of the day a house is nothing but some walls and a roof, no matter how fancy it is.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Gonna look into it actually

 

[JordanWearinThe45]

Bruh, good look ain't the word. I've been doing research and you can buy 40ft containers for as little as $1,500. I've been to different sites for contractors that make them and they have dope packages. The customizations are endless

Shut yo dumb ass up, grown men in here conversing

 

[TheNig]

Do they have to be built way out yonder? Can they be built in the city?

 

[JordanWearinThe45]

Gonna look into it actually

Post your findings in here bro and I'll do the same.



Anybody know how a loan would work for something like this?

Check with the city before you start building breh some cities are restricting these because they know its a lick lol... Id love to do it, but south Florida is so restrictive. Maybe if I moved to palm beach

 

[Behind-the-wheel]

I had the idea for this over 20 years ago.
However, you need land to put the project on and that was something I didn't have...and didn't know how to acquire.
Now that I have the knowledge, money and time...I also have a wife with no vision that "ain't havin that".
So, I'm fukked and will have to live in a normal overpriced house in a developed neighborhood with an outrageous HOA and constant fukkin cac oversight.

fukkin women...
