i love how a faggot hears "shipping container home" and immediately thinks small tiny home.
thats small PP thinking
When i hear shipping container home i think giant small arms proof compound in the middle of the woods made from a dozen or so containers all welded together into a wide open floor plan model with closed cell foam insulation and a walkable roof that provides good shooting positions.
there's a youtube guy in upstate NY who built a castle out of them
for sure, lots of crymore hoesmad in these comments.
There's a ton of great stuff you can do with containers, but i've heard a lot of problems with putting them underground without fantastic drainage all around and some thick rubberized coating on the metal that's going to be in contact with the ground or ground water.
Just like with burying propane tanks, i would also use an anode bag they bury along with it.
cor-ten steel is great in marine environments because the "rust" actually provides a protective layer that protects the metal below... just like aluminum does.
i'd try to keep them above ground if you can, make everything below ground reinforced concrete and provide lots of drainage to keep things nice and dry.
the key when designing structures is to try to ensure all the loadbearing is done on the corner posts, and also to understand that once you begin cutting into the corrugated side walls they no longer act as supports and will compromise the rigidity of the structure.
always reinforce BEFORE cutting openings or removing walls.
one nice trick to remove entire walls is to run I beams from post to post, stich weld the containers roof rail to the beam, then remove the wall once things are supported.
also, always make sure you at least seal the floors, or remove them entirely and replace with concrete. replacing with concrete allows you to run radiant in floor heating so it's a great reason to do it.
yep, and so are the faggots downvoting you.
