| Bowyn Aerrow User ID: 17665927 United States06/10/2012 07:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Cabinetry alone (just the off the shelf assemble MDF ones) is expensive - go and price them and see how expensive they are. In 2001 I prices cabinetry - simple pine and oak - a step or two above MDF and was looking at $3,000 for 8 feet length of base and upper cabinets. Even then the base of the cabinet was MDF (particle Board) with lots of plastic and other trash. As for housing, I think that only the refrigeration units are worth purchasing - they are already highly insulated. then you want to consider a few or several containers to construct a permanent house. Then it makes a lot of sense - and the price drops dramatically compared to traditional stick frame.

One elegant thing about using a cargo container is that if it is built-out by certain guidelines, then it can be shipped to various continents around the world the most inexpensively. I was thinking of doing this when moving my company from Southern California to Mexico, but time and other constraints prevented me from moving this way, but I still think it would have been an excellent idea for this country. Even if you decide to live in a more conventional building later, the cargo container will still be useful as a workshop, a rental cabin, or limitless uses. Better for countries or areas that are not burdened with regulations that might create problems though. |
