I showed hubby these links as an idea for a second building on our second hunting fishing property. He thinks the containers probably cost 8k each. It's not a possibility for where we want to build though. There's no way we could get them back our 1 mile long driveway. Plus, the frame for a cottage would cost less than the cost of the containers and to haul them in place. I suspect this is only a good idea for someone who can get their hands on containers for free or a bargain price.
i thought part of the appeal of using containers was to make a more modern styled home?
those arched windows and openings, and traditional look seem like a designers worst nightmare.
WOW!! Give the owner a little credit for all the hard work he put in providing a solid affordable (paid for?) home. It sure beats the heck outta the debt ridden Mac Mansions that Americans seem to favor now.
Sure, it's unconventional but so was a sod house back when the country was being settled. If noting else is was a paid for roof over your head. Good grief..
