They are a cool idea, especially for something like a hunting cabin, but I understand most of them have a bunch of nasty chemicals in them, mainly in the paint since they come from China.

"Most" of the ones you buy from dealers around here strip the paint, re coat and install new wood flooring for liability purposes. The only thing you have to worry about is radiation absorption into the steel. Buy a cheap Geiger counter from Ebay and you should be good to go.

Seems like there isn't much of the container left.

A little FeBreeze will fix that right up!

It's a big trend in Hawaii. They get pretty creative.

You would think they'd be a more affordable option, but apparently they're about the same cost or more as traditional construction.

Still, it's a cool idea.

I guess. It's my understanding that even a DIY job is going to cost just because of materials.

Simplified, it can be done on the cheap. I lived in one for years.

They don't have to be as small as the one shown.

And you gain economy of scale when you do a large structure, but of course then you've got more complex assembly and finish-out.

They used to be $900 each for a 45' container. Now they are $3200 plus because of the container home movement.
