Hello everyone I just wanted to share something I've been planning for a long time now and maybe some people could get some ideas for a home or shop from this.
When I am of legal age to move out I will be purchasing a small piece of land, and 1 40' x 8' x 9' 6" cargo container to live out of. It will be 230 sq ft and be fully up to the nebraska building code with proper insulation, windows, foundation, and more. It will have 3 windows a full bathroom French entry doors, kitchen, living room. It is going to be tight but eventually I will expand. This is the smart way to go because each container only costs about 3000-4500 new or used. These also give you cheaper insurance because of there fire safety ratings. If one of these is secured to a foundation, a tornado is no match. These also exceed structural minimums by a lot and all I have to do is Frame and insulate the inside. I will be using a small tankless water heater for all my hot water. I estimated 20k without labor, and this is with all the dream kitchen and stuff, which I can do without. So I'd say I can get it all done for under 20k total.
