Shipping Container as a Movable House
Nomadic Expats may appreciate/want something like this:
For starters, how many containers make a suitable “home”? After walking inside several and imagining the possibilities, I’ve long thought two 40 foot containers would be good. I foresaw one container as a living space and another as a work studio with tools and storage. But I now think just one container would be an appropriate challenge. Perhaps a second container could be acquired locally at new destinations and used for additional space as needed. I still want to discuss arrangements with more than one container, but I see a different level of customization for each container. For instance, the primary container might be equipped with plumbing for bathing, a toilet, and a sink.

I also am reminded about containerized living when I get by spammed by the “containerized manufacturing plant” folks every week.

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now."

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …

Those are some pretty impressive designs.
A while back, friend of mine, a corporal in the Canadian Air Force, sent pictures of his shipping container turned bunkhouse for two that he lives in while on duty in Croatia, but I wouldn’t have thought it possible to create a fully self-contained unit.
