Not my industry, but in my area. I'm still looking for a good modular house that can be setup reasonably quickly, low cost, and can survive North Dakota winter and summer. Something suitable for a single person or a couple.
- andrewl 10y agoI wonder if shipping containers could be the basis for a solution in this space.
- protomyth 10y agoThey would seriously have to be cleaned given how toxic the paint on those things is. Plus, I would rather have something not prone to giving the local inspector a fit.
- andrewl 10y agoI have no experience with them myself, but I know there's a good bit of interest in them for non-traditional uses. A Google search for shipping container homes will turn up a lot of interesting results. It still might give your inspector a fit, but there are resources out there. You wouldn't be blazing completely new ground.
- protomyth 10y agoI don't see a lot on insulating and we are a bit far from the coasts to make availability great. There was a thread a while back where these were discussed.
- paraplegic 10y agoThese guys sell full size or tiny model geodesic domes, which go up pretty quickly on a poured platform. They are supposed to be able to withstand hurricane force winds ... http://aidomes.com/tiny-homes/ http://aidomes.com/tiny-homes/
- protomyth 10y agoThat might be a decent solution, thanks.
