These what? Xist's conex containers? I think tiny houses are defined mostly by floor area, maybe 300-500sq ft. So two 20' containers at 640sq ft might go over a limit. Sink one in the ground and peel the roof off to make an in-ground swimming pool.


That's too bad. I'll have to look into that more thoroughly .

Land use considerations:

All politics is local. See also "granny flat".

That ad. Was it for Steel Buildings, Metal Buildings, Garages, Carports, Storage Buildings, RV Storage |*SteelMaster USA? That's an interesting case structurally, they arch, fold and corrugate a single layer of steel and suddenly it's self supporting. A 24' arch 16' deep would be 384sq ft. with nowhere more than 8ft from a [potential] window. You could have the North wall at ground level and South on a 6' 8" header and have three flat walls.

Yep. I googled it, rather than click the banner ad.

They promote their [URL="http://www.steelmasterusa.com/residential/products/eco-friendly-buildings"]80% recycled, LEED-capable qualities

Ooooh it's looking better already. I love the look of these things too.
