Shipping container homes?

What kind of floor does it have? Wood?

Yeah but the vast majority of these containers have floors that have been treated with some serious pesticides. SERIOUS PESTICIDES!!!!

While they appear to be practical, imagine what would happen when your wife decided to move things around....

Just bust out the plasma cutter and the grinder and a can of paint and you are set to move any walls. Just think no sheetrock dust and mess..... jmo

I guess no reorganizing is what he meant.

Reminds me of Kandahar Air Field back in Afghan-land. Not as nice though.

[hogbuster]

those are kinda neat even though not very practical unless your a doomsday prepper

I know a guy that is building his house and he put one right in the middle of his house and uses it as one big *** safe and man cave. I personally think it is a cool idea.

It is very serious.

I thought this floor plan was cool. They built it around a courtyard.

Only problem I see with it is that if you ever decided to sell and move your pool of buyers would be very limited. Im not even sure that a bank would finance it. I like the metal buildings that are framed and insulated but my wife didnt like that either. I would just talk to a realtor and see what their input is on resale. I would imagine the opinions you will get form here are mostly from outdoorsmen that have stayed in all types of enviornments.
