    I used 2 shipping containers for my over sized work shop....

    and my next house is going to be with shipping containers..40 ft high cubes.

    these are higher and offer more room...


    Hey any one interested in some land ?
    we are starting a perm group 40k out of Grafton
    each with 20 acres and only $100 per week!
    with a real long long lease...!!

    I plan to build there with shipping containers.....it is quick and simple and clean

    if you want to know more

    cheers Maggie

    Maggie, does it get really hot inside the containers? I saw a program several years ago about a house made out of several containers, stacked, with walkways between, an atrium in the middle, and even though they were insulated, I wondered how much heat those must absorb? Or does the insulation help with that?
