i want to live in a shipping container

so not many people would say that they want to live in a shipping container, but i would love to, even if they didn't look as nice as these. the idea of living in a pre-fab shipping container, might seem a bit low brow to some, but for me i think there's a modern quaintness to it. there is something for a compact and movable residence that has some appeal to me. i think it would work well in urban and country environments. what i'd like most is to convert a warehouse into a giant loft, but that will have to wait for a while. i have the idea in my head, but i fear that by the time i have a chance to create this place, it will seem too much like a bachelor pad (which i don't mind at all, but i figure i'll be married by then and it'll be a problem for the family). in any case - you have to love the creativity and the extended use of shipping containers as a residence.
