Go green. It's only within the last week that I have become aware of container housing. Also, within the last week the idea of turning a recently acquired acreage outside Wpg city limits, into a container/trailer/modular home court. So, this whole idea is in it's initial stage. As an incentive to prospective container home purchasers I, myself, would like to have a container home on site as a rental unit....possibly more.... If you could send any information about ordering/building/transporting/costs/time frames etc I would be MOST grateful. I do understand that individual design and tastes influence costs.

In years gone by, cities and counties turned away from mobile home parks or put such heavy requirements on them that it was hard to create new ones. However, because of the economy, some cities and counties have now begun to embrace mobile home parks because they understand that they are an excellent source of affordable housing for their residents. There is a lot of work that would need to be done, so don't bother doing any serious work until you know what they have to say. Best of luck, Kyle Edginton Hi Lucy,

I have yet to get into costing, etc. Currently, my plan would be to build everything on site, utilitizing the services of a metal worker/welder to do the modifications. There are some custom pieces that I would need and these would be designed by a structural engineer. What ideas do you have for your cottage? Kyle Hi Adam,

I'm interested in the development of this project since my wife and I are considering a container structure for a cottage we want to build on some lakefront we've bought on Lake Manitoba. I'm curious to know more about how you plan to manufacture your design, as well as what you estimate the price/sq. ft. will be, completed. Best, Adam Hi.

Now you are scaring me! Good news regarding the local source for the containers. As per our discussion, the most important factor in building today is building envelope. I see this as a definite challenge for the container home in our climate, but challenges are exciting. OK. Now you are scaring me!

They said that would be a great idea, but I would have to make all the bumps. I told my kids that should build it with all the colours to give the LEGO look.
