Lulu is a single mom who’d gone back to school and didn’t have the time or interest in working full-time to pay for rent. So when she had to move out of her more conventional home, she decided to move herself and her daughter into a shipping container.
With little building experience – none when it came to building a house – Lulu spent just one month cutting windows and a door and installing insulation and a basic kitchen (complete with propane-powered campstove and on-demand water heater).
Using only recycled building materials- including used floorboards, windows, cabinets, doors, bathtub, toilet and sinks – she built the entire thing for about $4,000 (trailer included).
