Shipping Containers


Hmmm...shipping containers. Thousands upon thousands of shipping containers collect in ports and just get stacked. It costs more to ship them back to wherever they came from (mainly China) than people are willing to pay. So they sit.
However, people have been creative recently, and have begun using shipping containers to build things. It's actually becoming more and more popular. Jon has had it in his head for a while that he wants to build us a house of shipping containers. At first, I was skeptical. But look what can be done!




I'm sold.
They are about $3000 each. Figure about 5 or 6 for a "normal"-sized house - not too bad of a price tag! Then we have the luxury of designing all of the inside ourselves!
It's a dream....
