Did you know that houses are being built out of shipping crates? The crates sell for only a few hundred dollars each. But the houses are not cheaper than a traditional house. They need insulated, and new floors. So the total cost for a two container house with one bedroom is about $100,000. I took these pictures from our local paper.
Since the walls are metal, you can hang things with magnets right on them!

coming, living conditions around here seem like a stopover in an unfurnished
shack, and we’re tired of it! We’ve been given a glimpse of the real thing, our
true home, our resurrection bodies!”

I think they are actually kind of cool but $100,000 seems like an awful lot for a 1 bedroom house.
I've read about these 'crate homes'...In fact somewhere in Texas [not sure if it was Texas, but it was on our local news] about a whole outdoor mall being built by these shipping crates.
So interesting! I bet it would be noisy when it rains!
I love these and they remind me of the new tiny homes but a little more space. nothing is cheap any more and this is a good way to recyle the containers that are taking up space. I have seen them on TV but never in real life. I love the restaurant from yesterday idea
Both of these look pretty good. The top one is a great way to handle a hillside lot.
A lot of space insite ,have a nice weekend,Joan
I think the first one looked cute on the outside but don't know if I would want to live in one.
That's fascinating. I have seen a holiday rental home made out of a single container on AirBnB.
You can find videos on them on youtube. I find them and the tiny houses fascinating...
That's a cool way to use these containers. They would need a lot of insulation in our Manitoba winters.
