Poll question: Would you ever live in a house made from shipping containers?
Styles can vary, or course.

1. Depends on what the inside is like.
It looks sturdy. If it's nice inside, why not?

2. With more windows and a better paint job, that wouldn't be half bad.
I'd also curtail the "juts" a little, but the idea is kind of cool.

7. Have you thought of how many

9. I read that there is a glut of those things in the US
because of all the crap we are importing from abroad. And our main export (jobs) don't need containers to move overseas.
