Cabin Porn

Not really a cabin but I built this about 6 years ago, floats on 20 55gal drums/20hp mercury/ steering wheel and motor controls behind the bar window/ batteries off the motor runs the lights and radio/astro turf roof. It's frozen in the ice in the winter and doubles as an ice fishing shack.
 
I kind of like this idea/setup.

I saw a TV show, where they were building these. Shipping containers stuck together and cut out walls where they joined. The possibilities are endless. with many different lengths of containers from a single to many, strung together; L shaped, U shaped, even a "T"! They had a source for "retired" containers, somewhere.
 
I love the simplicity of these structures. I make my living building custom homes with very complicated structurals, ornate architectural details, whole house automation, multiple architects, an interior designer, countless meetings . . . .blah, blah, blah. Sometimes it all seems completely absurd.

You can't help but relate to the scale and modesty of a cabin.

At least I occasionally get to build a barn.
