In your head, if you turn all that wasted space around into a garden - it looks promising. Double Stack slice of squat heaven. Maybe some graffiti /tags on the sides from travelers coming through

No problem If you want to see more just google storage container houses

 

[panik]

why did I think shipping containers would be so much cheaper than they are? used on ebay for 40' ones is around 3,000....
anyway yeah I've always looked at them thinking you could make neat houses with em.

 

[DaisyDoom]

You could probably get them cheaper in other ways...maybe even free if you know the right people...I haven't read much about the prices but I think it's mostly compared to new building materials. There are definitely cheaper ways to build housing than this.
