      Truly brilliant.

      Way more sensible than just adding an awning to the side of it for $40 and parking under that.

      Shipping container houses are one of those things that seem like a great idea unless you know literally anything about construction or think about it for more than 30 seconds.

      Case in point the genius telling me that the internal temperature reaching 125 degrees in “some situations” (the sun being out) doesn’t have any effect on living conditions.

        You’re just acclimatizing yourself to the future average day time temperatures. free-real-estate

      It comes with all the cost saving of not adding a second pair of legs to the container for the low low price of adding 3 sets of staircases to a 40ft container

      For like… 700$ US you can get a “car port” and just bolt the metal supports to the concrete pad.
