    i like in the second pic how it says lot-ek... so are they trying to saysomething???

    This is a fantastic idea, you would have to rust proof them well, you should use bolts a few meters long into the ground so no wind will take them away.
  • Nic
    A 40' container's weight is approximately 8,223 lbs empty. I dont think the wind will be moving it any time soon.

    and put the bults there so they dont think that it is a shipping crate still and take it away while ou are still in it and you will end up in china the next day... that would suck...

    How would you power it?
  • Dave
    This is what I would do. spray it with poly urithine (sprayable rubber) to make it rust/water proof. then bury it under ground for maximum r-value and energy efficiency. Power it like any other home, run city power to it or use solar or wind power. basically it's a quick shell and you can modify it any way you want to. stack 3 on top of 3 weld them together and you have a hurricane proof house. what you can do with these things is only limited by your immagination

    How much would one of these things cost? I am very interested with these things for I am some what of a designer and think this is a great Idea.
  • Each unit costs around $3500 and then the insulation, wall board, cutting etc.
    My partner built his place for just under $200 /sq. foot but with
    mass production we could get this down to $150 sq. foot.
