eco house – shipping container eco house / home

A tour of an eco house made from an insulated shipping container. This eco house is small, humble, cheap and pretty nice considering how cheap it is. Includes a composting toilet. A sort of “secret” eco house – from the drive it looks like a shipping container being used for storage. Inside it looks like a pretty nice, humble home. I used to think shipping container homes were a bad idea until I saw this.
