I’m sure they’re bulletproof.

Gonna need a lot of firewood. Those puppies get pretty cold in the winter.

Old Railroad box cars were used as chicken houses. Read it in a letter circa 1890.

Ya, I was wondering, where exactly in Detroit these will be built. Depending on the neighborhood, being bullet proof could be more important than all the energy saving items they talk about.

About 25 million of these 20-by-40 feet multicolored boxes move through U.S. More like 7.5 by 40.

“Im sure theyre bulletproof.”
ISO containers are constructed of thin Corten type steel with corrugations to give strength. Typical container walls will stop a .22 Long Rifle, and perhaps weaker pistol bullets. Most rifle bullets will easily penetrate the sheet metal of a container. Even the corner posts are just 1/4 inch thick square or rectangular steel tubing, which a decent rifle will penetrate.

20 by 40? Bigger than Manhattan studios, that's for sure.
Wonder what a duplex will go for...

Can you say AGENDA 21?
These are made to order for UN Agenda 21 specifications.

About 25 million of these 20-by-40 feet multicolored boxes move through U.S. 20 feet wide? I don't think so.
