Honest question, why not just sand blast it to remove the paint and recoat it?
- arkades 9y agoWhy not just skip the shipping container and throw up a simple wood frame? All the rest of the ingredients of a common American house are already there; the container doesn’t seem to add anything.
- blacksmith_tb 9y agoBut why start with a heavy windowless box that needs to have its toxic coatings removed? Something like an Earthship[1] is made out of free trash (like bottles and used tires) and dirt... (which may not even need to be trucked in to the build site).
