Have You Seen the $800K Home Made from Shipping Containers?
At Metro Flooring, we have seen a lot of different homes. We often go out to homes to measure rooms for new flooring, or go to homes to install new flooring, but we have never been to a home built out of shipping containers. We recently saw a story in the LA Times that caught our eye and thought we would share it with you.
?Two entrepreneurs who have spent their careers fixing up old houses for resale have constructed a home out of six shipping containers. Matt Jakstis, 28, and Jonathan Sanders, 31, said the idea behind the two-story home on 2590 Island Ave. in San Diego was to keep costs down and follow the trend of reusing old material instead of wood for a new home.?

The price for this unusual home is a measly $800,000.?
