Although about 10 years late, I think it's time to take a walk on the trendy side and start looking at shipping container homes. If we want to have a tiny house on the cheap and little to no mortgage it's only fair that we take every option into consideration.
About 900 container pass by our window everyday so we're pretty used to them. We're actually pretty fond of them at this point. Having memorized about 30 different shipping company names because they're plastered on the sides some kind of subliminal fondness happens. When you see China Shipping" flash past your window for 50 consecutive train cars it kinda get stuck in your head, then it slowly creeps into your heart.
Modular! In a few different ways of thinking. The first being how when you hear modular home you think pre built and dropped off by a truck. The other way to think about it is in the build-able / stackable way. Any shape or layout is possible. Hell Yes!
It's metal. I'll need to learn to weld and cut with a torch. Hell Yes!
Seems that it could be set up to be even more accepting of our idea of build what we need now and add on are room or two, if we need it. Just drop another container in.
When I thought about height of containers being l was a bit bummed, only temporarily. There are all kinda of containers. We won't pigeon hole ourselves to just one standard. Containers inside of containers! Hell Yes!
