Rock Fireplace in Shipping Container Home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They finished this container with wood interiors. It has a rock fireplace. Containers are designed to carry a lot of weight, so it doesn\u2019t have to be limited like a tiny towable that is supposed to be towed by a truck. Before you even put anything in it, a shipping container weighs more than anything but the largest SUVs or maybe half-ton pickup trucks could ever tow. They have to be moved by truck, like a side loader or tilt bed truck designed to transport and deliver shipping containers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With an empty weight of approximately 3,750 kg (8,265 lbs), a 40ft container can accommodate up to 26,730 kg (58,935 lbs) of cargo.<\/p>\n

This photo shows the kitchen with a bar. It\u2019s not there in the earlier photo. There is evidently enough room to move the fridge over and shoehorn a bar in\u2026 practical for more working surface and a place to eat.<\/p>\n

Kitchen Details in Shipping Container Home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I like the single handle hot cold water mixer tall faucet. It looks great and is practical, it makes it easier to fill containers with water. There are two working drawers. The shelves are adjustable.<\/p>\n

Bathroom Details in Shipping Container Home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The photos look like you pass through the bathroom to get to the master bedroom. It is a better use of space than a hallway, I guess.<\/p>\n
