Because it's awesome having a tremendous racket when it rains and having no drainage off the roof. :laughing

The recycle value, mostly... might minimize some construction time, but damn, I'd want want those things cleaned within an inch of their lives before beginning the job, who knows what they may have hauled....
A friend of mine has one on his property he uses as a garage and for equipment storage.

It's pretty cool to see in person. Nimby used to have a lot of shipping container living and so did the shipyard in Oakland until of course the city found out and killed both these locations.
It's a cheap alternative to buying a house but in all honestly I would rather make it instead of living inside a steel box.

Shipping containers are a gimmick, not a good choice of building material.
They're neither cheap nor quick, once you factor in the labor to clean and refinish them, they only allow for an 8' ceiling, and after you start making openings in them they aren't very rigid.

My friend in Australia built a hunting lodge out of two. Did all the work on them at his ranch and had them dropped off at his property. Inexpensive, quick to build, sturdy and worked well for it's intended use.
Lots of them get sold in Mendo. County for "trim houses", underground grow rooms, etc....

Friend has two of them for storage and his house looks more like one of these which I think might be a better way to go for a living space.

Some of these are so cute, but when I see them I can't help but think of tornadoes. I know that's not a problem so much in California, but the first tornado I ever saw, I was 3 or 4 years old and off in the distance, we watched it destroy a trailer park. It looked something like the tornado that hit Dallas a couple of years ago, with trailers being thrown around like trash.
