I want

[NightWatcher]

So I can convert it into one of these



or one of these

[Shell Beau]

1. I'll buy the Febreeze!

[Shell Beau]

18. You know I thought those were dumpster bins.

HEnce the febreeze statement. Duh!

[ThomCat]

2. I hope they're becoming more easily available

so people can figure out how to convert them into homes and stuff. That's pretty cool. :)

[NightWatcher]

3. I live in a port city and can get them delivered for less than 2K each

I am working to design a floor plan. My SO's mother has acreage west of Jacksonville and would let me try to convert one on her land

[DJ13]

4. $2,000 each?

Those things are just left at the port, free of charge.

You would think they would be cheaper than $2,000.

[MNDemNY]

6. They have scrap value of almost $600.

[KitchenWitch]

8. I think most of the cost might be in the delivery of it.

[hoplophile]

5. I've been looking at these for a long time now.

Think they would be great for the family ranch.

9. That last one looks like it's going to unfold into a giant fighting robot.

[MercutioATC]

15. The "giant-unfolding-robot" option is extra.

But it's an option, I believe.

[FSogol]

10. That would make a sweet bar for the backyard. Is there still time to add

something to my list for Santa?

[harmonicon]

11. so do I

those things are sweet

13. I, too, want

but my hubby won't go for it. A friend of mine has plans to build a container home and studio in NW Michigan. I'll have to be content visiting...

Check out the animated walk-through on his website---> http://www.johntunger.com/2008/11/animated-walkth.html

:hi:

[redqueen]

14. There's a few sorta like that out where I live.

Only they're more like railroad cars than shipping containers, and only one seems to have been converted into a living area.

[Orsino]

16. It would be really, cool, though...

...if it could transform into an eighteen-wheeler or a jet fighter.

Several of them together could form Cratimus Prime.

[hippywife]

17. It's an awesome idea.

If I didn't already have a small house, I'd do it in a heartbeat. There have been some really great plans out there for years now.

Go for it! :hi:
