These will often be built for substantially less than ANY builder will quote, for equal or more square footage, depending on type of footage added or included e:g bathrooms: and included extra expense for longer pex tubing and electrical runs. Those 2 things as well as spray foam insulation are your larger expenses excluding containers themselves and land purchase/site prep.Just for reference you can get 8'Wx9'Hx40'L High cubes brand new for 4180 directly from china. Each cube is 320 square feet, depending on family size the shell for your home (WEATHERPROOF) can be as little as 2 up to budget allows. They can also be stacked 9 high linked together with standard clips and remain just as strong as 1 story.<a href="http://www.infiniski.com/world/" target="_blank">http://www.infiniski.com/world/</a><a href="http://8747house.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-02-22T11%3A54%3A00-08%3A00&max-results=7" target="_blank">http://8747house.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-02-22T11:54:00-08:00&max-results=7</a><a href="http://seacontainercabin.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://seacontainercabin.blogspot.com/</a>And if designed correctly on Pier column footings you can unbolt your house from it in the event of moving, ship them for a nominal fee on the RAILROAD, and set your house back up exactly as it was, no worse for the wear.</blockquote>
