Default shipping containers as houses
I recently ran across a thread about someone wanting to grow in a standard shipping container, the ones that they ship goods oversea with


After about an hour online just scrolling, and looking up info on them I found some interesting shit.
Not only have ingenious stoner's managed to make underground grow rooms out of them, but people actually build houses out of them too!

I guess you can get a 40' footer for as cheap as a $G a piece, and make some pretty sweet homes, or vacation spots for relatively low cost.

Here's some interesting links to more info and videos/pics about shipping container homes.
Heres a little science station in the jungle shipping container home


Heres a british place called container city, and has a youtube video that was ripped off of the history channel
YouTube - Shipping Container Homes by Container City
Container City | Gallery

This one here shows good old bob vila constructing a house in Florida made from the same standard shipping containers
(there are several videos on his site) Floorplans and Layout of the Container House Video, Building with Steel Shipping Containers, Strong, Affordable Storm-Ready Housing, Bob Vila, Bob on TV, BobVila.com


Here's one of the cooler looking ones 10 Cargo and Shipping Container Homes and Offices | WebUrbanist


Here's a man in canada thats got a well documented website that did a very amazing job building his home from these containers, personally i think the exterior is kinda ugly but the inside is amazing Zigloo - Residential Design - Fernwood Victoria B.C.
He has many pictures and videos on his site that document his progress.



lastly heres a few final links for anyone interested
