I feel like this is a really good start if you’re thinking about getting a shipping container home, it can be overwhelming to think about where to start, so it’s great with cheap and small books like this one with conveniently packed information that tells you what to look for from start to finish.
I think this was worth the read. But I'm still not sure if I'll choose the RV or this. I'll have to investigate further.
128 pages of big, poorly formatted, type, without a single, solitary picture or diagram.
The first couple chapters had some specific information about shipping container homes but most other content was curated by the author by quoting and relating others who had actual experience.
Chapter 8 is entirely useless quoting completely nonsensical crap including a 9 page story about a girl talking to her elementary school teacher- I am not making this up!
Chapter 9 (Recommendations)- provides such wisdom as to list cloth storage boxes, rust converter, hangers (2 pages), and temporary screens...
(Both Chapters 8 and 9 are so useless as to make one think their only value is to make a minimum page count in order to get published.
2 stars for the 25% of the information which was actually helpful, and although still in a grindingly horrible format, actually relevant to shipping container homes.
I never thought that it's actually very expensive to transport shipping container home from the port. The author is making real life examples and calculations which helps a lot in estimation. So if you live in remote area or far away from the big port, container transportation may actually cost more than a container itself. Well, this is just an example of how good the author understands the subject. I felt he loves what he is writing about. However, he is not trying to sell it to us or to persuade us to make a certain decision. This is just an information from someone who knows a lot about the container homes, and who impartially explains all pros and cons. And we are the ones who should take the informed decision.
The book is cheap, and while there may be a place for a book that compiles information, this book doesn't even do it well enough to provide value for money. It's full of information that is obvious (measurements of containers), contradictory (shipping containers may have toxic chemicals in them - but they make great playhouses for children!), and really just nonsensical. The longest chapter in the book is a series of random quotations from people I have never heard of dealing with everything from self-help to a critique of the educational system, none of which has anything to do with shipping container houses. An obvious and insulting cash grab, skip it.
