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.
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?
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.
Check out zigloo.ca or zerocabin.com
A 40′ container’s weight is approximately 8,223 lbs empty. I dont think the wind will be moving it any time soon.
Nice. I am planning on building a home like this next year. Endless possiblilities.
$200 per square foot for a 1000sq ft home is $200,000… that’s without land it sits on. So much for a less expensive alternative to a conventionally-built home!
Hey – can you substantiate the square footage cost you just commented here??? That’s ultimate luxury home for stick built in my area… Thanks
200sf, yea right. used cargo for 2000$ each so 8000$ for 4. 2 acers in central florida for 15000$ mismatched tile 50 cent or less so 1260 ft thats 630$ plus morter for DIY. spaying closed cell insolation at 1.60 sqft about -2000 plus drywall ??? so far thats about 26000$ septec tank 4-7000$, well if you want but use city water (????) and electric(????) then your perment,land impact, plumbing,ect,(4000- at most 10000) so around 42000 – 55000$ max. now interior stuff is xtra but a shell home with a C of O is less than 60000$ Im in the process of building one now. oh and I forgot to include shipping (from port of tampa about 30 miles and heavy equitment like forklift thats 100$ a day plus fule) but most stuff you can do yourself like cutting the metal with a tourch and installing tile,drywall,doors, windows, window AC (why cool the whole thing when you can turn on the upstairs or downstairs window unit?) still way cheaper than a 120000$ crap house in bad area plus savings on home insur$$$$$ hurrican proof, ect.evan at 70000$ you can mortgage that for like 350/400 a yr.
