Is human life not sacred? Is love and care for your fellow human beings not sacred? Is the protection of human rights not sacred? There are many very sacred things, things I believe we should hold sacred and protect with all our might. Human life, human rights, civil rights, love. And more. We needn’t worship [...]
Imagine a completely self sufficient cabin, pre-built with everything you need to go off grid including water, power, food, and shelter. I’d like to create a ready to go “Off The Grid” cabin made from a shipping container that would include everything one needs to go off the grid in ONE package ready to ship [...]
Ever wanted your own castle? Yeah!? Well, I do too, and here’s my Container Castle! A shipping container home design in the form of an old fashioned medieval castle. Many people can barely afford a modern stick built home, but when you build with steel shipping containers, they become inexpensive modular building units with absolutely unlimited potential [...]
Holy biomotors! This is AWESOME with a capital AWESOME! I love science, and I love philosophy, but when the two combine sometimes it just seems a bit confusing to explain. I’m no molecular biologist and I won’t even try to explain the complexities of the (ATP synthase) but suffice it to say it’s an itsy [...]
Thinking out loud: I wonder if we could build a hybrid central heating system by combining a solar hot water heater, with in-floor/wall/ceiling radiant heating and have this system do two jobs at once, heating your water and home at the same time. Hmmmm…. In other words, a typical electric water heater runs on 120V [...]
It was a pleasant surprise to wake up yesterday and notice that one of my shipping container home designs was featured on ContainerLiving.Net titled “$10,000 Shipping Container Home“. I can see this being very viable where land use isn’t an issue or the fact your only looking for a single layer dwelling such as disabled use. Adapting [...]
You might seriously think about building your own Zombie Fortress. Seriously. Are you truly prepared for the coming Zombie Apocalypse? The CDC (Center for Disease Control) thinks you should be prepared too. “…There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That’s right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e [...]
Here’s a highly modified version of my previous shipping container home design, with the addition of a 16′x40′ and a 10′x32′ sun/viewing deck on the top of the home. This adds 960 square feet of patio/deck space to the home. Pretty good for two tiny shipping containers. Notice the solar panel array on the southern side [...]
Here’s my latest shipping container home design using just two shipping containers to form a 1280 square foot ranch style home for less than $10,000 in materials. This design, like most others I’ve done uses a minimalist approach to maximize livable floor space. The design is so simple it uses just two ISO shipping containers [...]
