Couple Turned Two Shipping Containers Into Beautiful Home In Less Than 10 Months
A house is a place you decide to occupy for living. But love and care turns a house into a home. While one person may love a lavish penthouse in the bustle of the city, some prefer to live in more modest accommodations. The Tiny House Movement and minimalism are fueling this trend further. So, this couple from Cowlitz County, Washington D.C. decided to turn two shipping containers into their home!
This alternative housing comprises 2 large shipping containers: one which is 40ft and another which is 20ft. Dave and Jaimie chose to live in this space instead of paying debts and mortgages for years, making it a warm home with their love.
Jaimie even claimed they took the concept from legos, just joining some blocks for a home!
After buying a piece of land they liked, the couple spent around $80,000 to turn the 2 metal shipping containers into their loving home. The house is basically built from scratch and DIY is the way they chose to go. Be it the structure, its plumbing, wirings, or weldings- all DIY!
Once they had decided on the basic budget of the whole project, Dave and Jaimie worked hard Monday through Thursday and kept the remaining 3 days of the week to construct their dream home.
