    • Great Resource
Review Image by Stanley Clifford Stanley Clifford
After recently becoming interested in the concept of Shipping Container homes, I found this book to be a great resource on the topic. Whilst being a very Informative “how to” book, it was also particularly interesting. I found the author to incorporate a charm and wit that is uncharacteristic for this style of book. It just adds to the experience of the read. I haven’t yet decided if I will build a container home, but have considered buying property near the shore south of Charleston South Carolina and wanted to build something that is hurricane proof and of relatively low cost. I now have a Favorite floor plan solution in the perpendicular layout only requiring two containers. While I love this book, I do wish that the author Adam Salner had shared a bit about himself and his experience with shipping containers. I suppose it could be a bit of a mystery by design, but I am still curious on what inspired the Author to write this book. In any case, I am a fan and would recommend this book to anyone interested in this new trend of shipping container homes. ... show more

    • Economical housing solution
Tiny homes are all the rage right now as more and more people look to lessen their carbon footprint. The author explains how homes made out of shipping containers can be economical, environmentally friendly, and esthetically pleasing. The part of the book that really shines is where the author details all the different layouts and models you can use to design your home. There are great pictures and then architectural layouts. This is really an interesting section and allows you to imput your own personality. There are sections on how to heat and cool your home, and do it in an environmentally friendly way. I learned a lot from this book and look forward to implementing what I have learned. ... show more

    • Was not impressed
This book had the vague, inaccurate quality of something written by an AI chatbot. Either that or the author had the worse editor in the world. If you are looking for a resource that will give you concrete details on the actual building of a container home, keep looking.

    • Poorly written, lacks detail
Unfortunately, this book is poorly written — it is rife with grammatical and spelling errors and follows an unclear logic. It is also “high level” to the point of not being very helpful. For example, it suggests the use of “graphics software” to help in design, but doesn’t mention any at all. It suggests hiring a contractor but doesn’t offer any recommendations on how to select or assess one. The section on permits just instructs you to “apply for a permit” and be patient. It has three different sections on budgeting that just tells the reader to have a budget without much elaboration. Nothing described in this book extends beyond the plainly obvious. ... show more
