See I don't really want a tiny home, I want to move out! Right out of highschool I can construct this in a month or less. I can most likely save up that amount of money I need to move into it aswell, see eventually I want a modern like 5 container home with a massive garage, shop, tons of windows, and really modern, but for now this will do just perfect, and I don't plan on having it on a trailer, if need be to move the container it will be secured in corners by steel tiedowns that I can cut. My goal is far from a mobile home. Also to stack them you need no extra reinforcements, they are all the same frame so the edges will line up, and they hold a substantial amount of weight. I don't want the room in center, having the bathroom and kitchen closer is more cost effective due to the cost of plumbing and such, and my bedroom is actually very close to the front door. I will most likely see the costs of getting water and electricity and sewage mains on the land, or look into purchasing land with it existing or easy to run. I'm kind of going in blind in electrical and plumbing area, so we will see what happens. This container will be coated with a special paint made for it to waterproof, and I'm also considering putting a roof on it that's at a small angle, but it's unlikely due to cost. My idea is to pour a slab with footings that go below the frontline since that's code, and put the container atop that, and a driveway next to it. My only issue is I feel like water would deep under and possiblhy sit there and rust it, so I'll need to figure that out. 1 think I don't want is it sitting off the ground a bunch to where u can see under it. As for structure, what I like is its already a tough one, and exceeds structural capacity of most homes I found in my research. All I need to do is do a quick stick frame on the inside for drywall and insulation.
