Well, we finally get our book done this weekend. Introduction to Container Homes and Buildingsis finally done, at almost 100 pages! Whoo-hoo!
Alex and I have been amazed at the response so far, so if you want to pick up a copy (a bargain at $9.95) then you’d better get on it!
A Clarification…
The book is an introduction to building with ISBU containers. You’re going to learn:
- Why ISBUs are one of the most frugal ways to build a home
- What’s possible with ISBU construction
- The benefits of living in an ISBU home (including how much you can save living in these structures)
- How to make your ISBU home look just like any other home
- Roofing options that will save you literally thousands of dollars on your build
- 20 house plans that illustrate what you can do with ISBU containers (plus the build budget for each design)
- Options for insulating your ISBU
- What you’ll face when you go get financing for your ISBU build
- The benefits of using 20′ containers instead of 40′ containers
- And much more
Now, this book isn’t the gigantioid “How-To” book we’re still currently working on. That book, when it’s done in a few months, will be a step-by-step guide to building an ISBU home. It will cover everything from selecting the best ISBU container, to pouring foundations, and putting on a roof.
Everything you need to know in order to build an ISBU will be in that book. So, it’s going to be a tome.
This smaller e-book is like Round 1 to the series. And at almost 100 pages, it’s a huge bargain. There is some fantastic information in here (especially about roofing options and insulation) that won’t be in the next book. And the houseplans are worth the $9.95 by themselves.
If you’re interested in frugality and possibly building your own ISBU home one day, then you won’t want to miss this series. Again, I would not be working on this project if I didn’t believe in it 100%. Alex knows more about ISBU construction than anyone, and some of the tips he has in here you simply won’t find anywhere else.

Now that this is wrapped up, I’ll be back to regular posting this week!

hi
I’m establishing a company, the container houses.
I am inexperienced in strength against the (earthquake, flood, fire etc ….)
I need scientific information and technical experience on the subject.
has This structure any technical books ?
I am pleased you help me.
thanks
The container structure resist the earthquake, floods and fire! All you need are proper weldings and non-welded calculated joints.
If i were you…i’ll start to thing about the insulating, and the icy winter!
