AFFORDABLE HOUSING? Twelve AMAZING Shipping Container Houses

Can they be had cheap?

Wouldn't mind living in a shipping container if SHTF.

Hell, just give me a couch, pillow, blanket and a few months of food supply and I'll be content.

Yes Humble, they cost about 2 to 4 thousand depending on size and condition. The biggest cost after that is getting one transported to your property. Thats New Zealand prices. Don't know about USA. Anyone else know here on the forum?

Cheers
