DIY Cargo Shipping Container Home on Stilts

"…a pair of sea-shipping containers radically converted into a single on-land dwelling. A local train yard and a few hundred dollars can buy you a few five-thousand-pound insulated metal boxes. And at that price, who would not be tempted to plan their new home around shipping container-sized units?

Paul Stankey (and family) not only bought his structural materials on the cheap, but also used simple do-it-yourself processes to construct his cargo container house step by simple step – starting with pipes to leverage the containers off of the trailer attached to his truck"

this house is so ugly. I'm usually so excited to see what you have daily, but this one. NOT. love the log cabin though. I know, "affordable" but maybe a paint job would help, or some good graffiti.?

Irene, You're right, pretty ugly, but I like the idea of popping up an addition in the middle, plus being up off the ground. Can give people ideas.

That's right. Its not pleasing to look at but sometimes, something that is ugly outside is beautiful inside.
