America’s future.
hot as hell in the summer, but are easy to transport and better than nothing.
Of course, once the Gov’t gets involved, these containers, which shipping lines buy for $5,000 (depending on price of steel), will cost the Gov’t $100,000.
I’m interested in using one of these shipping containers as underground storage and storm cellar. Does anyone know sources & locations that sell used ones and cost range?
Under an Obama Presidentship you can get one as your entitlement if your not a taxpayer. So look at the brightside quit your job today and go on welfare. Then you to can be given a piece of the AmeriKa pie. In Chicago where the Messiah will begin the role out they will stack them 10 high and call them Condo’s Obama style.
Obama is for the The New United Socialist State of Amerikar of TNUSSA
I would gladly live in a shipping container! It would be a huge upgrade in my living conditions. I’m in the Army, in Germany. I have about 50-60 sq. ft. to myself (mostly my bed and most of my stuff piled in boxes) - and a roommate, too. By regulation, I am supposed to have no less than 90 sq. ft. to myself. But whatever. Now, if I was married (with no children), I’d have about 1000 sq. ft. (that’s no joke). Hey, if I was on deployment, I wouldn’t mind such conditions. But what I describe is permanent living conditions. Add on to that, I am trained in a military intelligence specialty. But the best I can do here is equipment maintenance. Equipment, as in weapons and Humvees. Not MI equipment. Equipment that will never get used for real. That gets real old after a couple years. When that day comes next year, when I permanently leave Germany, it will be one of the happiest days of my life.
We wouldn’t be in this housing mess if someone thought of this long time ago.
These would better be put to use as jail cells. Or melted down and made into robotic farm and factory workers so we don't get so many containers from China, or Mexicans filling our jails, schools, and hospitals.
No matter...soon enough a Marxist will come along and scream, “Down with McShipping Containers!”
Hmmmmmmm! Give me some more of that Kool-aid!
I thought about this after seeing Gail & Paul's Barnacle Bar in that Heineken commercial.
Beertender Commercial.
But after thinking about it, I'm sure you would be better off building something with Structural Insulated Panels.
What Are Structural Insulated Panels?
now going condo...
My neighbor made one into a nice guest room. She stuccoed the outside and made it look like it was adobe to match her home. Finished the inside and it has a bedroom with bath and her washer and dryer are also set up in it. It really turned out nice, she and her husband bought an old adobe house and rebuilt it, but it was small with only one bedroom and they needed a place for company to stay.
Shipping containers make excellent storage sheds, small shops and even guest houses. I can’t figure out how they could get all that they claim into one to make it a house- has to be pretty cozy for sure.
Yet, it is considered torture to house al qaeda detainees in shipping containers...
OBAMAHOUSING....
Housing is now a RIGHT, doncha know....
Excellent idea. Probably good for something, remote, emergency, temporary.
