Expanded Discussion: of the Method for Converting Shipping Containers into a Habitable Steel Building Paperback – May 25, 2011

I read both books on this subject by Paul and I am very pleased to say I now know far more on this subject than I previously knew. I would strongly encourage Paul to write more on this topic. Thanks Paul, looking forward to your next book.

Detailed, technical and worthwhile. This isexpanded discussion to the first book by the same author. The kind of book I was looking for

This is a detailed method of converting shipping containers into very serviceable housing. The designs are basic but very well thought out and possible. Certainly a good resource book for anyone thinking of the possibility.

Don't expect any innovative designs. Nothing but the most simplistic of ideas. Nearly a complete waste of time and money. If you have spent any time near a container you may have seen the label with weight and measurement information; 99% of the usefull information contained in this pamphlet can be found on those labels. Drawings are repeated and repeated and repeated. That's how to turn 24 pages of nearly useless information into 77 pages.

This is basically a re-print of an invention/patent document and not at all very interesting to a "dude" who's interested in design and new ideas like me. Probably great for an engineer or architect, but not very interesting. That said I did learn something new about how they are recommending siding and paneling on container building.

Helped me with my research on this type of building, and id it was a good choice for Montana housing.

This book as some very good ideas for designing basic units out of shipping containers. it is filled with good drawings for standard house type buildings and roof plans for each. I would have like it more if it had had some more creative ideas, but it still gets the point across and gives you some thing to think about and move forward with.
