I call him a Luddite because he resists any redesign.
Prefabricated houses dont move very well. A container can be moved with a flatbed and a forklift. I think it is most likely that I will be living on leased property rather than something I own.
I would prefer to be on someplace that is considered unbuildable for most construction, like a steep hillside. A pole building would probably work but the time for construction is pretty long and expensive compared to setting a container.
I hope to live there part time and a shipping container is about as secure as you can get when it is closed up.
Contrary to what others have said here the ones I have been in are pretty comfortable in the heat (which came a s a surprise to me.) I don’t have any experience with them in the cold. I suspect this is due to a high thermal mass.
I trust these people more than the opinoins expressed in this community.
Do you honestly think shipping containers are the future of housing?
Real
we got here this time
God I hope not. I don’t really see a future for housing at the moment.
I do think container homes have a place at the moment. There are reasons I would consider one in the future.
Why did you say he sounded like a luddite then? I’m honestly a little confused.
Why would you get one, instead of a prefabricated house or trailer? Every time I’ve looked at the idea a prefab or trailer would just be better.
