When my wife and I were thinking about buying a container for a tiny house, we got a lot of great ideas from watching videos on the internet and informative television shows. We understood a lot of the pros and cons before choosing a shipping container as our home. It took three months to complete our project, but we finally have the place set up on a 3 ccre piece of land by the desert. We save a ton of money on heating, because the steel soaks up so much heat during the day. We also have solar panels on the top to help cut down electricity costs. Living in our tiny place is a dream come true.
