    All the mini apartments or mini homes, I'm so excited, is anyone doing it, like
    working now from a comfort of a mini home?

      building a home out of shipping containers seems to be a somewhat "popular" thing now.

        I was thinking about building one on some land in Northern Minnesota I use for hunting.

        Beats sleeping in a tent or having to haul an RV for 5 hours and getting 7 mpg.

        I would never live in a shipping container though. I don't care how nice you make it, they are small.

                  Yep, ive seen some cool designs by stacking. By the time you do that though, I don't think its a hell of a lot cheaper than just building.

                    It is. We used one for 6 months when we renovated my mothers house 3 years ago. It was four containers join together (one floor)

                    Cost is around 90.000 DK kr = $13.000

                    And since it can be moved, you dont need the same strickt permissions in the EU for "Building" using those.

                    It's a huge industry here in europe. One of mu friend does Work for this Company LIAB - Smart Luxury Living in a refurbished steel container

                    With all the middle-east visitors we get, this is one of the types of homes they will get.

                            That is completely different thing. What you posted are broker/poor people living in shitty old trailers.
                            This thread is about "cool" people/hipsters building a trending mini house.
                            Strange that I need to explain the "small" difference... Or not strange since it is you..

                              That is great if really true... Because for example in the USA even if they are "movable" (eg does not have a foundation), but has electricity etc they are considered as real home and needs all the permits. Even if it is the size of 1 container only...

                                yeah i like my space. i find my 4 bedroom townhouse too small most of the time but it all depends what you need and if you have a family etc. this guy was in the news a while back for building a cabin out of shipping containers near here.

                                  That is sick. If I build anything above 11 Square meters (even for my horses) I need to get a permit. But If its movable or non-permanent, I dont, as long as it dont obstruct the neighbors view (in general)

                                  I could set this up without a permit

                                    That was a first association in my mind. To be fair, I still don't see any real difference.

                                            A friend of mine who is a pretty good carpenter is building a mini home on a tow trailer. His family owns some land in Montana so he plans to drive it up there and live on the land. He is just starting it, but the plans and drawings of it look pretty cool.

                                            The only issue I can see is that it is him and his wife. It might get cramped in there and a bit claustrophobic when its the middle of winter, there is three feet of snow on the ground and they can't leave the house for several days.

                                            His budget is around $22K then another roughly $2-4K to get it to Montana and get it set up.

                                                          I've been doing the van life thing since the summer of 2013. I do stop off from time to time to do the house thing for a few months here and there. I love no payments, no real bills and just doing what ever I want with no real strings attached.

                                                          I'm toying with hiking the Appalachian Trail next summer so if I do that it will be a backpack hammock and boots on the ground for about 5 months..

Have fun in them, i bet you are highly annoyed by the cramped space after a week. It completely defeats the purpose of a house in the country / nature. I have lived in huge places (a former school building) and small places. I prefer space which is human and logical.

                                                                                  I then picked up a cheap hard top, tore the engine and trans out and swapped in a modern engine as well as put a syncro (4wd) transaxle in it. I still have to complete the 4x4 conversion but I wanted to hit the road.

                                                                                  I also added the pop top roof and built a custom interior. The interior isn't finished yet but as I mentioned, I needed a break from FL where I was building it so I hit the road. I finish it all sometime next year.

                                                                                            Not cheaper and very restricting on the design too.

I have one of those dual zone Wynter frig/freezers as well as a little 12v LED tv. I pick up the free HD channels where ever I am and I'm about to get a T-Mobile plan to use their unlimited Netflix streaming via chromcast.
