Shipping Container Homes

Good quality, good price

It was an interesting read. We have been discussing shipping container homes with my wife lately and our opinions turned out to vary. In fact, I see a big potential in these kinds of homes for investments considering new solar technologies on the market. Also, some people are willing to rent unusual homes for short-term and if you choose touristic enough places and make a really cool container home, it's going to be cheap, inspiring and awesome; and you can rent it out per day on airbnb, craigslist, etc... My wife doesn't agree. Of course, we need to calculate everything but this book was nice in terms of general information and various important details.

Interesting ideas, from small to large budget it seems “tiny homes” made from shipping containers, yurts, trucks with campers, log cabins on wheels, and even treehouses is the new way to truly enjoy living in your home n not being typical or tied down! Plus there are so many many empty shipping containers all over the world. It’s a great use of recycling materials, as well as a way to not be “House poor”!

Book was straight forward and was well organized. It brought up some things I previously did not know. I did wish there was more information presented and it's for this reason that I gave it 3 stars. I did enjoy some of the home layout presented in this book.

I'm very pleased with the degree of information that was provided in this somewhat small book. I have done quite a bit of research outside of this, and this book, just seem to fill in most of the unanswered questions that I've had. I would definitely recommend this book, and have already shared with anyone interested. I'm glad that I purchased it, so I can always refer back to it.
