You can have your very own home for about the price of a brand-new car. In these days of cash crunches and economic recession, that is very enticing to a lot of people! In this book, you'll learn about building a functional and comfortable home for very little money, and you'll start with one or more shipping containers. Shipping container construction is not brand-new—people have been building homes and other sorts of enclosed structures out of shipping containers for several decades. It is, however, along with the tiny home movement, becoming more popular to build smaller homes, for a few thousand dollars instead of a few hundred thousand dollars. A shipping container home is an easy first home to build for yourself. On grid? Off grid? Both options are available to those of you building a shipping container home.
