    Have never seen this one, but I've seen many shipping container homes.

    That is an awesome looking house.

    the inside of a shipping container is very nice, it's wood floor furnished

    only con is that it'll get really hot/cold because it's metal

    A friend of mine used to work at the Kandahar airport for several years and lived in a 20-foot ocean container.

    I agree, I'm not sure that the fiberglass insulation will be adequate. They should have gotten spray-in expanding foam.

    Yeah, these have been around for a while... speaking of which, have you guys heard of the great deals on old Cold War missile silos? People are buying these and turning them into homes.

    You can search for properties and see pics here : http://www.missilebases.com/
