Building with containers is worth taking a look at if you are contemplating a new home.

Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE AND FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND ARCHITECTURE.

Lots of example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles. They have something new that you can setup your own project wiki to get help with your project if you are the design build sort…

Jamie,

That’s awesome! Thanks so much for letting me know; I appreciate the feedback. I’ll certainly let everyone know when the Big Book is done (yep-title is still pending!).

I just finished reading the book (then having a quick conversation with Al) and it was definitely worth the time and money. It is a great introduction to the ISBU homes I’ve been lusting after for years.

First of all, it gave me the confidence to see how easily a house could be built (by me).

Second of all, it gave me some motivation to start researching these details in more depth. I’ll be anxiously waiting for the Big Book.

Hey Heather!

I think that you forgot to tell them that it’s finished!

And better still, it’s shipping RIGHT NOW! In fact, it’s flying out of here!

So, if you want a copy of this great book (if I do say so myself!), you’d better act fast!
