the shape i want for my house is actually aided by the container structure.
____________________________
I also looked at shipping containers, but decided against them for several reasons. I didn't like the basically 8x8x40 layout which is too reminiscent of older house trailers, and the touted "hardwood floor" was not what I expected. Until you get it insulated it will be really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter, not livable, so you can't really live in it while you make pc and insulate. With 12" of insulation you would get r36 more or less, but why restrict yourself to the shape of a container? Just make a pc house without the metal inside, and in whatever shape you want.
