think they said it was 2k square feet, so… no, not a small house.
Go Back to school Bob. Also you can get 45ft containers.
Please marry me Debbie….or at least share all the details about your incredible home. That bathroom sinktop is gorgeous! Pricey I am sure. Are you gonna spill the beans about total cost maybe, or just what it cost to buy and set the five containers in place?
40ft long and 8 ft wide = 320 square feet x 5 = 1600 add in porches it could be 2000 sq ft home.
Thanks for the video. Yes assuming the 5 containers is each x 40ft, but the news reporter said the house is 2000 square foot, therefore each container must have been unbelievable 400 square foot each which there’s no such thing. Unless of course the news reporter got it wrong and therefore she actually used 5 x 40ft containers in which case her house is only 200 square foot not 2000 square foot. I’m already confused, don’t know about you ? but that’s a really small house at 200 square foot !!
Do it! I did! Youtubeme “The Daniel Alvarez Adventure”
Look at my Shipping Container Home project, It was an amazing but tough experience!
Serch: “The Daniel Alvarez Adventure” Hope you uys like it!
Oh… that might be that…
a lot of shipping containers is very sturdy and and have great insulation built in, cos they ship fresh produce, meats and such. i imagine she uses that.
I think you overestimate the 3rd world.
This is AWESOME! I will be making one
Great, like we don’t have enough carpet baggers stealing our jobs.
We are now a 3rd world country.
So cool! But it’s big. I like the open-ness of it. Nice job!
Good idea, but what about heat or cold isolation? I Can’t see any in few places of the house…
Good idea, but it’s UGLY as hell
the doomsday preppers use them for their BOB (bug out bag) in their property.
Where did anyone say anything about cheaper in the video? I missed that part.
Practical and durable but not attractive. Looks too industrial.
Come down South you could make a Billion with a capital “B” !

@ hollywoodhennelly. She never said that she was the first. It is still a seldom seen building/construction style.
