My comment was meant to further the conversation. Yours was meant to stop the conversation.
I can build a shipping container house that will fit on a price of leased property. I cannot build a pallet house at all.
I have gone back and forth on container homes. At the moment I see a place for them.
That's because it's a stupid conversation.
You know what else you cana build a house with.
Building materials.
And it won't be an unventilated, 100 sf, 120 degree Faraday cage that will collapse on itself after it rusts away in a few years because the expected lifespan of a shipping container is 20 years before you cut a bunch of holes in it.
1,) No, I cannot.
shipping containers are not 100sqft.
they aren't 120degrees.
I have never seen one collapse on itself.
Either you are ignorant or disingenuous.

Certainly they can get really hot in certain conditions. I do t think that is very relevant to the actual living conditions, but I have a small sample size. The ones I have seen have been pretty efficient.
Oh you're the guy who is like "certain conditions" like you've never in your life encountered a hot car in the summer
something giant metal containers are famously immune from lmao
I guess every time I've had to help throw a freight truck it's just been hellish inside after sunrise because of what space aliens
Do you know what the three methods of heat transfer are, person who just called me a luddite?
"Certain conditions" like "the sun being out"
You don't think the fact the internal temperature fluctuates between 125 and -21 degrees is relevant to living conditions?
I'm sure you could say that because saying incredibly stupid things doesn't appear to be an issue for you at all.
And yes I am interpreting "if a container sits in the sun it gets up to 120 degrees" to mean that if you leave a container sitting in the sun it will get up to 120 degrees. What are you suggesy8ng would cause these containers to behave differently from the ones tested. That's the whole thing about containers, they're all built to the same spec. Supposedly that's why you morons think they'd be a good option ao it's pretty funny for you to turn around and now act like that's some weird outlier.
You really are a dolt huh
