Expanded Discussion: of the Method for Converting Shipping Containers into a Habitable Steel Building Paperback – May 25, 2011

I read both books on this subject by Paul and I am very pleased to say I now know far more on this subject than I previously knew. I would strongly encourage Paul to write more on this topic. Thanks Paul, looking forward to your next book.

serves as a reference the purchase of materials and basic tencnicas paa have idea of ​​implementation and characteristics, which are not taken into account in the background.For people who want more background explanation if having so much practice and know the area is recommended.

Detailed, technical and worthwhile. This isexpanded discussion to the first book by the same author. The kind of book I was looking for

If you are planning on building a shipping container home and looking for information DON'T BUY THIS BOOK. It contains no helpful information about turning a shipping container into a home. It is full if useless informmation that is repeated over and over. It tell you things like "mount a standard door and window" without ever even attempting to describe how this might be done. The book is nothing more than a description of a patent and contains no information helpful to those who plan an actually building a home or cabin.

This is basically a re-print of an invention/patent document and not at all very interesting to a "dude" who's interested in design and new ideas like me. Probably great for an engineer or architect, but not very interesting. That said I did learn something new about how they are recommending siding and paneling on container building.

tottaly helped me to build my architectural project here nobody knew about this method after reading this tottaly nailed the method

This book as some very good ideas for designing basic units out of shipping containers. it is filled with good drawings for standard house type buildings and roof plans for each. I would have like it more if it had had some more creative ideas, but it still gets the point across and gives you some thing to think about and move forward with.

Helped me with my research on this type of building, and id it was a good choice for Montana housing.

Would recommend

Its ok, plans, drawings, helpful infos
