Good idea. Except it might be difficult to fit that into the overhead bin on the flight home.

Sorry. I forgot that Mainlanders aren't use to everything arriving in a shipping container.

At least it mostly arrives in a shipping container.

If they do arrive the container can be put to good use.

I love those photographs of the containers being reused as homes and office space.

There's been some pretty innovative stuff done with containers. Do a search and see what comes up.

I agree, it's amazing what they can do with shipping containers. But how would they hold up in an earthquake/tornado/hurricane/flood/brushfire/whatever local disaster your area is prone to? I would hate to be in one during a major hailstorm--the pounding would give me a colossal headache....

Standard 40 foot containers weight 8,160 pounds. They are built to hold up to 59,040 pounds. It would take huge earthquake, tornado or hurricane to affect them. Don't build on a flood plain. It would have to be a pretty big brush fire to ignite steel.

Most container converted into housing have a stick and nail roof added so noise from hale would not be heard. If the container is used as the roof foam insulation would be added to the interior to reduce heat loss which would also attenuate any external sound.

Let the building begin!
