I was watching a television show last week, where people came in and cleaned other people’s homes. The home this farmer was living in was an old trailer that was inside a barn. He wanted to ask his girlfriend to marry him, but it embarrassed him to even bring her home. The inside of his home smelled of horses and manure, and he didn’t have a working shower. The people who came to help him out sent him out to get primped and polished while they fixed his home. They didn’t just fix his home, but they brought in two shipping container homes and set them up side by side. Once they completed the setting up of the shipping container homes, he had two bedrooms, a full-sized kitchen, a full bathroom with a shower and walk-in tub, and a small sitting room. They had a front porch and a flower garden going up the walkway. I was sure it had taken longer than what they made it seem, but the shipping container home was beautiful. I had a hard time believing it was actually two shipping containers. When my husband asked what I was watching, i told him about the shipping container homes. He told me he had been watching a video online, and they were setting up a shipping container home. He said when we retired, we could downsize and live in one. I wasn’t sure my husband would be happy living in such a confined area. He had three bedrooms and two floors to prowl through now, and he still acted like a caged lion. A shipping container home would never be big enough for him.
