      Having smaller spaces combined into one compound does the trick. Having things compartmentalized is the way to go. This would be the method I'd do. Also having the land available is the biggest obstacle.

      The design of this home has so many possibilities for an expanding family. Simply taking on a 40ft as the third container would have provided them with an additional room with possibly a jack and jill style bathroom in between the two. Did they go with a specific architect/engineer/contractor or self done for the design process? I would love to see the schematics for this design. I absolutely geek out to floor plans, electrical and plumbing to fully appreciate its efficiency.

    I live on a 37 foot 80s boat. It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the small space is really all you need. My husband is a marine mechanic so it runs great and we take it out a lot but if that’s not your forte, a house boat would be just as cool. It wasn’t too expensive, slip rent is minimal and we have an absolutely STUNNING view from every window (hatch and porthole!) of the Chesapeake Bay.

    • @richardbianco3193
      @richardbianco3193 5 лет назад +1

      It definitely helps with a big problem w these, curb appeal. It takes creative mind to give them curb appeal & that worked really well- have made mental note. Idea for others, haven't tried this yet but pretty sure I can rig up bracket with moulding to essentially use solar panels as the roof - I'd have made the entire top solar panels, they have some stiffness to them and a light bracing system with rubber moulding that goes up inbetween two panels & rests on top of the entire seem, like pushing a point between a narrow gap, once it breaks through the point expands locking it down holding one span of panels together. Not safe enough (probably) for real roof but I'd do something like this guy but those three roof would be panels all hooked and almost looking like one frame of panels bolted together. You could add slanted roof, or do what he did and experiment with placement for effect.

    • @SuperLisandro86
      @SuperLisandro86 4 года назад

      Also shipping containers gets really hot, even with proper isolation if the sun hits directly. So the floating roof is good for keeping it warmer, and also reduce the sound that strong rain or hailing can make. The negative point is that is going to shake a lot with strong winds.

    This is one of the best shipping container homes I've seen. And with respect to all tiny home living -- I find it notable that so many of the BEST jobs start with "...we're on our family's land."

      This has inspired you? Can you imagine living in a metal box in a winter like we're having now? This isn't simply impractical, it's backwards and rather stupid. There are modern building materials, heating and plumping systems that make a shipping container conversion absurd. In the cold, you would be in a meat locker, in the summer it would be an oven. Condensation would ruin any measures you would install to change this. If you wanted a tiny house, why would it have to be made of quarter gauge steal? Those advocating the "tiny house" alternative has never lived in one.

      If you're not having kids, a smaller home like this can be great. The aspect of this home that I find so much better than most tiny houses is that it's modular. If they were forced to expand they could add more storage containers and renovate them in with little difficulty. Because rooms are segregated from one another, even a home this small offers an opportunity for some privacy, Nice design inside, as well.

      I think the biggest issue is that families with kids need more space. This is nice for a young couple, but might get cramped later. Also, a small home still needs LAND to put it on. It sounds like the couple here got it free from mom. Most people don't have free land, and just buying land and building a small home on it is just as expensive as buying a regular house. BTW, I love small homes and I think most people would be fine in a smaller house, but I do understand why most people won't find a set up like this to be realistic.

With the laundry tucked away in the bathroom, maybe we could keep both the storage spaces in the hallways as our wardrobes!

      I don't think people are hating on the projects. It's more the problem that to "save" money to go into a tiny home, you already have to be fairly well to do to get into the project or privileged enough for family to gift land or the money to build the house at all. Which is totally the opposite of what the benefits of tiny home living is posed to be. (cheaper living and cost so one can save a lot of money for later. Some of these "tiny homes" cost as much as a starter home and are almost the size of apartments or smaller full sized houses).

However, there are comments literally saying that " people shouldn't be living like this" which indicates that they are irritated simply by the fact that some people are different and like to live different ways. If different living style works for them and it doesn't hurt anybody, then who the fuck cares? When it comes to homes in general, I like the idea of using recycled materials and other sustainable solutions. And even though living in a tiny house isn't for me, living in oversize house is not good either.
      I've occasionally watched tv-show "Love it or list it". The episodes usually have married couples, one of them wants to stay in their old home (and make it more functional) and the other spouse just wants to move to a bigger, new house. Many people in those shows just want more and more space, nothing seem to be enough. Everybody (including the kids) has to have their own bathrooms, several others rooms for all kinds of purposes etc. I always root for the spouse that wants to stay at the old house because at least that's more environmentally better choice.

      The tiny home movement appeals to me because it gives you the chance to be more eco friendly than a traditional home does and it really forces you to evaluate what items/things are important to you so people aren't just filling things up with "fluff" (something most of us are undoubtedly guilty of).The areas I tend to be more critical of myself is sustainability for long term in the home. I know space is a premium but for those who want this to be a forever home, did they think if that ladder/narrow stair will work for them as they age etc. I do think it's important to always be critical, but with purpose.

And a few pieces of aluminum siding cut up for the roof. This place sitting on 5 acres ( again 0 dollars spent) surrounded by trees makes it very appealing. 145k I don’t see it. My home didn’t cost much more to build and its 6x bigger. Not saying it’s not a nice place, I just think for the money there should be a lot more. Maybe the construction crew had to travel a good distance to construct so it’s all in labor???

So much money gets wasted on baskets and cribs. Save that money for when your child actually really needs it, such as education. We get so caught up in all the hype, thinking we need everything available at the baby store for our baby's survival. Keep it simple!
