    "It is possible to insulate the outside of a shipping container instead of the inside.

    This method of insulation is known as “over-cladding” or “external insulation” and involves adding a layer of insulation to the outside of the container before covering it with cladding or other weather-resistant materials"

      Seriously? It’s surface area to volume problem. You have this tiny box. And then you have problems with doors, Hvac, etc. Sorry but the whole idea is idiotic.

        People just want affordable homes- a cornerstone feature of pretty much every modern generation before Millennials.

        Obviously there are better ways to build a home, but those avenues seem closed.

          Shipping container houses are not it. I’d call it a scam, but that typically requires something actually for sale. But if it helps: it’s a scam.
