   I bet your heating cost is through the roof.

   Container houses a) cost a hell of a lot less to build, b) recycle shipping containers, c) are actually really easy/cheap to maintain and heat.
   There are some quite neat things you can do with them.

   Surprisingly nice, though the art is not to my taste.

   They are very practical, economical and quick to build with. We are producing many types of building starting from a fully furnished house for under $30,000 up to back packer hotels and luxury homes in USA in hurricane locations! But there are some traps to using them... we found them and have solved the problems!
