[@got2bjosh]

Glad you were more transparent about how you made it happen: the mix of your diy family upbringing, learned hard skills, easier savings via a six figure income from your STEM based job, stock dividends, and a credit approval all paved the way for wealth building via a $1M+ income property. It helps people look past the wow factor and connect the dots via consistent, disciplined, focused, and concerted effort. Thanks for including estimates on material, labor, and design costs. Furniture aside, the cost of quality fixtures, pillows, rugs, and curtains is no joke.

Yeah. I have read those reviews. But steel homes have been around a long time and they can be sustainable. You have to insulate well, but that is not hard to do. Whatever you do, there will be detractors. This feels like the falling water home shape the Frank Lloyd Wright used and I think it’s one of the best designs for aesthetically pleasing home in the woods. Just gorgeous and inspiring!

[@rogerdou7226]

I was excited until he said it was for B & B use. I'm finding that a lot of cool construction ideas that I see on youtube is for that purpose. I have a place in nature that I have been wanting to renovate & do something fun & not too big that blends with nature & I'm finding out that a lot of municipalities forbid this kind of construction for private use but they'll allow some of the stuff we see on youtube after they've re-zoned an area for the purpose of rentals. Then you're surrounded by noise & parties in nature & the only winner here is the municipality because they can charge higher taxes. Everybody is out to make money. We live in a world where, on one hand we say, let's save the planet, but are totally unwilling to make the necessary changes to achieve it. Let ordinary citizens build interesting dwellings to LIVE in, that will blend with the environment & won't ruin their budget. This stuff really makes me sad. All these great building ideas used for rentals. It's a huge problem that has to be addressed.

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

I agree

[@kumark214]

Why is it a problem? What’s wrong with rentals? Travel is a big part of life and someone doing business in travel is nothing wrong. short term rental in a city is an issue as it results in shortage of homes so that needs to be regulated. But if that is not an issue in some places, open up a travel dwelling. It’s part of life.

What a mind blowing home and view. That main bedroom looks like you are waking up in a 🎄 tree house. What a calming peaceful place. Absolutely perfect for a writer or artist. I am not usually fond of such minimalistic design. But the Scandinavians really have me obsessed with their styles. And this house is no exception. Great job. Hope you get it paid off in record time. Not sure if you know this trick to cut a 30 yr mortgage in half. All you need to do is pay one extra payment a year in December but put the extra payment totally on the principal.

I would love to know what the total cost was. My husband and I have started to seriously consider building a container home as housing prices in our area are INSANE.

[@yuriyzenda5857]

He said almost $600,000 and he did all the labor himself. This is an INSANE price... it would be over a $1 million if he just hired someone to built it. I was hoping a) container homes being cheaper and b) your own labor - it would have been no more than couple hundred K, but it sounds like you get what you pay for and if you want to get high quality - it's not cheap.

[@J.sh_CDN]

​@Yuriy Zenda the one argument I'd mention, is that not only did he use 5 containers stacked in a way to make it look fancy (the two containers on top with the overhang) which made him need to use a ton of structural steel. As well, as you see his appliances and furniture, you could cut a lot of costs by buying less expensive flooring, tables, stairs, and just about everything else. He has a lot of too if the line stuff in here, but a more budget friendly build could include a more basic design, more budget furnishings and more to cut costs
