How To Build A Shipping Container Home – Graphic © off-grid.info. Images: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA5fh29rhLs
This fantastic series of 9 videos from The Modern Home Project takes us through the build of a “high-end” shipping container home – from start to finish. The overall cost of the build was around $240,000!
Some of these costs are non-negotiable, though, in order to do things by the book: Permits cost over $25,000 and took over 4 months. This includes engineer’s report.
Concrete slab: $6,000 – this was probably elevated because of the stringent California restrictions regarding earthquake safety.
This really is a build that is “done right” and so this is a full tutorial that I think anyone considering a container home should check out – even if you are not spending anything like this on your build! Seeing the work in progress shows you much of what you will need to do if you take on a container home project. He gives a detailed rundown of the various materials chosen and their benefits. Seems like most of what was used came from good ole’ Home Depot!
There is also tons of information in this video that could be useful for anyone doing a home construction or renovation project – container or not! You can see various tradespersons in timelapse and in combination with the commentary this gives much insight. He gives some recommendations on which tasks are more “DIY friendly”
One thing that is interesting is that our intrepid home builder understands well the art of delegation and takes a “hybrid approach” to the work – taking on the tasks that he feels comfortable with but assigning more specialized and highly skilled tasks (such as kitcen countertop installation) to the pros.
Another interesting point is that due to the “long and thin” dimensions of a shipping container, much use is made of low-profile fittings in order to maximize the available width.
“High Cube” shipping containers were used, which are 9’6″ instead of the typical 8’6″ tall – to give that more luxurious feel that high ceilings always provide – in addition to a space for insulation, wiring and a sprinkler system, which is a California code standard. Interestingly also, California has a law that “one trip” containers must be used for housing. This is so that documentation can be provided that ensures that the container has not been used for toxic or radioactive materials – which would become an unknown if the container had had long term use.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:
According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.
It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.
Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!
As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?
But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!
The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.
This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.
Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...
Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...
Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:
