The toughest, the most weather and burgular resistant cabin you could ever get. It measures 20 feet by 8 feet. You can put 27 tons inside it, and stack another 8 more fully loaded ones on top. ( well actually that was before 2 skylights were installed in its top, so now stacking is not possible, but no structural integrity was lost ) It has marine grade hardwood plywood floors, 1-1/8 inch thick. That are now cherry stained and finished with 3 coats of polyureathane. Here is the kitchen area. a 4 burner propane cooktop, a sink, there is a "T" below the sink to drain it outside, into onsite disposal, or into the small 5 gallon bucket if its a weekender for you.. A 55 gallon fresh water barrel and pump is plumbed in. Here is the front porch. A screened sliding glass door gives it lots of light. There are 4 porthole style windows that lock shut and pivot open as needed. They are trimmed by a yellow colored, long spliced, rope that forms a circle. . . The windows are not ordinary glass. It is 1/4 inch thick polycarbonate (bullet proof glass). It has a cast iron ornate "Comforter" wood stove on a heavy tile hearth. This has 2 coats of meadowside blue with insuladd on the inside, and the roof has 3 coats of snow roof. It has a 95+% reflective quality and a 500% elasticity ability. You can use up to 5 individual padlocks to keep the doors closed when you are not there. If you want unique style, a touch of elegance, and built Bulldog tough, forward thinking structure, maybe this is for you.... Your floorplan would vary as per your needs... So I need your design input... ..I start with new one trip 20 foot steel containers... NOT retired, removed from service or damaged ones. You are responsible for trucking costs from Estacada, Oregon 97023. A unit similar to the one above is about $10,000 ...... I have been asked about insulation... Sheets of rigid foam insulation are 4 X 8 sheets and up to 4 inches thick. Adhese these to the sides/top and use stucco...shotcrete...gunnite ( like swimming pools use)...or spray on concrete, by whatever name you know it by ( along with a spray guy that knows his business), and now you have thick wall adobe looking cabin, that stands out on your property or blends in to it... You may even consider straw bale techniques if super insulation if needed...
