Thank you, that is a really good critique of container homes.
My idea was to do a 2x2 stacking, breach the center walls and reenforce them with iron. No need for insulation if you live where the cimate is tolerable year round. No matter what there will be a lot of new iron welded, I didn't know iron was considerably expensive. I think mixing wood with iron is the cause for all this, if not pure iron then brick makes more sense for an insulation layer than wood+foam. You might say the container is useless then, but it really isn't, it provides the frame/beams that hold everything together. With traditional houses you have to use wood at some point which is what I dislike.
But overall, the cost of houses is the biggest motivation. Land+construction if it can be done under $100k then why be forever in debt over a $500k (if you are lucky) house.
