\"Casa
Casa Cubed begins with a strong and durable shipping container.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"The
The container with the windows and doors opened up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They start by cutting the openings for french doors and windows.<\/p>\n

\"Ready
Ready to put the cedar cladding on the container house<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The exterior walls are clad in cedar. Cedar is beautiful, natural and durable.<\/p>\n

They don’t finish the cladding until the power is finished.<\/p>\n

\"Framing

On the back they framed an outdoor kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"The
The outside of the container house is clad in natural cedar wood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is another shot of the wiring and cladding.<\/p>\n

The Weber Grill is built in with a natural stone countertop.<\/p>\n

Inside<\/h2>\n
\"Windows
Windows and doors are opened up for the container house<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Meanwhile a lot was happening inside. The container is insulated. That makes it warm in the winter, cool in the summer and quieter, too.<\/p>\n

\"Framing

Then any interior walls are framed. This is the framing for the interior wall for the bathroom.<\/p>\n

\"Wired
Wired and ready for drywall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Electricians provide power and Plumbers install indoor plumbing.<\/p>\n

\"Installing

Next, the drywall is hung. Even for such a small space, it takes a drywall lift to get the ceiling.<\/p>\n

\"Starting
Starting on the kitchen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now they can start on the kitchen. The bar will be on castors, but the fridge is framed in.<\/p>\n

\"Hardwood

Hardwood flooring gives the container house a warm feeling inside.<\/p>\n

The Finished Container House<\/h2>\n
\"The
The sliding barn style door opens to the bathroom.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Casa Cubed can complete a shipping container home in as little as 12 weeks.<\/p>\n

\"The
The bath and shower<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The bathroom has a comfortably sized shower.<\/p>\n

\"The
The bath and standard size toilet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And the toilet is also standard sized.<\/p>\n

Casa Cubed container homes can have incoming water set up with just a garden hose connection and black water hook up for either septic or sewer.<\/p>\n

\"The
The island is on castors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The kitchen bar is on castors, so you can move it anywhere convenient.<\/p>\n

\"The
The open concept full kitchen has enough room to cook.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is enough room to cook in the open concept kitchen. The windows and wide french doors keep the house airy and bright.<\/p>\n

\"The
The full kitchen has granite countertops and electric appliances.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The kitchen is more functional than some tiny houses I’ve seen. There is storage, an under-mount sink and granite countertops.<\/p>\n

\"The
The kitchen has an electric stove.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The stove is small, but completely functional, with four burners and a glass top.<\/p>\n

\"The
The kitchen has an electric stove with an oven.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There is even an oven.<\/p>\n
