building eco friendly houses
How do I build a Shipping Container Home?
I am getting ready to build my first home 
, however I refuse to live in a traditional, expensive, non eco-friendly house. I have decided that I am going to build a very unique and sturdy shipping container home. However I have no idea how to do that. Does anyone know of any builders, designers, plans, resources, etc. that specialize in the construction and financing of a shipping container house?
