   I ran across this Container home under construction via the Container-Life site. It's not exactly a tiny dwelling, but interesting still. "Avani is blogging the construction process and has lots of pictures, videos, plans and links to vendors on her site. It's a real gold mine of information for anyone planning their own container house."

   For those interested in dreaming about ways to use shipping containers as a home, here are a couple of invaluable links.

   Building with containers is worth taking a look at if you are contemplating a new home.

   Good resource is the Residential Shipping Container Primer website. A DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) REFERENCE AND FOR CONVERTING RECYCLED INTERMODAL CARGO SHIPPING CONTAINERS INTO BUILDINGS AND ARCHITECTURE.

   Lots of example buildings, details, facts, and links to other articles. They have something new that you can setup your own project wiki to get help with your project if you are the design build sort...
