Roofing will be done same way but now you have to install waterproof roof. And then, you need to install siding on both interior and exterior to protect insulation. You will still have to clad with a layer of sheet foam because ribs will still be exposed to cold. The best way (in my humble opinion) to insulate these things is to spray foam insulation on both interior and exterior skin. Building dept may want them delivered without interior wall installed so that they can see all wiring and plumbing. Of course, they must meet all codes including R values, etc. You may have to buy two containers and combine them for square footage requirements. You will have to have someone design a foundation–perhaps stamped. They require a foundation and if you are going through the building dept. Anyone have 50k laying around? I only pay my contractors for work completed (sometimes for equipment on-site). They don’t give much info such as cost-but do require 40% down. Must confess it is becoming very appealing. Both videos well worth watching if interested in container living.

Fascinating and full of good information. Well worth watching for ideas, especially as they move theirs around the property depending on where they need to live (for working on property) at the time. The difference was enormous, there is another video about a couple doing something similar in Australia, only they used 2 40′ containers with a covered entryway between them. Would definitely use a 40 footer after seeing the difference in one of the tiny homes videos on YouTube, she began with a 20′ container which was lived in while the 40′ container was being converted after which she moved into the bigger one and rents out the smaller one. Also, if the container is a 40 footer there should be no need for a sleeping loft, the size isn’t clear in the article. What worries me is that knowing the height of a container (just about high enough to take one car on top of another as long as the bottom one has flat tyres, have dealings with a shipping company) the space needed for a loft means that either the sleeping area or the bathroom below, or both, must have very low ceilings which could be claustrophobic. As for wasted space, you can always have something on wheels that can easily be moved when you open the door. Would have thought on the opposite side would be best though, especially for a through breeze. I know containers don’t burn but their interiors can, equally you can die just from inhaling toxit smoke, and 2 door always allows for a through draft of air, surely a must in a hot summer or if cooking something that burns/is aromatic, or if you are decorating. Have always been taught that you should always have a second door (or a very large window) as an emergency exit.
