Building and renovation

Container HomesReader submitted

Good morning all at GreenIdeas!
I have made two great decisions this year: I subscribed to the Healthy Food Guide and Green Ideas!!! I read both magazines from cover to cover.
I enjoyed the article on the straw bales shed in the latest edition of Green Ideas. I am considering a "sea change" and I was wondering if it would be possible for you to do a research on shipping container living.
Containers are a very cheap way to build houses and let's face it, there are great numbers of them available, in various states of condition, so it makes great ecological sense to re-use these boxes.
I'd be very interested to know your view on this subject.
Kindest regards, Francine SCHMIDT, Timaru
