I have a question for you (before this goes off on its various tangents): Are steel shipping containers compatible with underground housing? Can I build a shipping container house and add earth berms around the outside of it? Or will rust problems prevent this? Anybody have any idea about this?
I love this house (yes, those are shipping containers)!   But what I was actually thinking of building (at some point) is more like this:  but with only two 20 foot containers. I was also thinking of putting it two feet into the ground and adding earth berms and a flat earthen roof. Goodbye to utility bills with that arrangement. BTW, if you're not hip to peak oil, it would behoove ye to get hip. |
