From the docs to a home???

It would appear that some people are making houses from shipping crates. I've seen some stories about this before but every picture I saw showed a pretty normal looking house (because they covered the containers with normal siding). However, this one is interesting as it's just six containers, welded together...strange really.

I have serious doubt about the viability of this as a building material. I'm thinking that it's just going to be a fad and someone's going to end up taking a loss trying to sell these houses.

(I wonder what it sounds like in a rain storm?)
