Out of all the possible building materials available for homes, the last thing you might expect to hear about is shipping containers - yes, the same steel, rectangular containers seen on trucks and ships going across the world to deliver goods.

What are some of the reasons why the best-selling author Matt Brown among so many others advocate the use of this type of structure for a home?

Manuscript 2: Discover How Shipping Containers Can Become Homes

The trend to make shipping containers into fantastic homes has been a concept that's been used for almost two decades now. They are a convenient design concept that works well with the tiny home movement. The idea of minimizing and having pre-made deliverable homes that fit easily onto the back of a standard truck has a lot of appeals. There's a lot of flexibility when it comes to designing one of these homes, whether you are going for the tiny home or a unique modern design concept.

Therefore, this second part of the book will start out by giving you the good and the bad of shipping container homes so you can be aware of the potential challenges that can arise when building with this material. After that, it will give you a great deal of useful and practical information in regards to building shipping container homes.
