I will create a house using 8-foot x 40-foot shipping containers as the main structure for a small family. The budget for creating the main structure of the house will be $30,000, with $6000 being spent per shipping container with a maximum of four. I will search around locally looking for lots that the house could potential be built on. Due to the way shipping containers are made, I will also have to take steps to make them more suitable for housing, such as adding insulation and removing dangerous chemicals that could harm the site and the people living on and around it.
