Spent some time in New Zealand around 2007 and I worked at a winery on a project “renovating” a shipping container to serve as a temporary wine tasting area. flat roof application installed bi-folding glass doors furred our interior walls and installed corrugated metal and wood paneling sound system custom glass table (purchased) it was fun for sure. Since that time I have on and off kept tabs on real estate there and I have noticed a few shipping container homes on mostly rural coastal properties, well, that describes a lot of the country actually lol.

I think some resistance might come from getting an experienced contractor to make sure that codes are met, gas line, sewer line, city codes, blah blah blah. It may be a bit prohibitive for some buyers? I think it's a great idea, & would love to see more of them. There are so many designs that could be done, I've already seen a view images of really unique builds with shipping containers & were just getting started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick mutation and boom, Rip. Well, yeah. If it incubates in the body and spreads without much symptoms at the onset, it would be far, far more serious of an epidemic. That being said, this is still early. I just hope the right steps are taken to prevent a serious outbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Regarding the shutting down of transport in and out of Wuhan. From Hu Xijin from the Global Times: Shutting down outbound transportation of a provincial capital city is unprecedented in China since 1949. Didn't do so even during SARS in 2003. This is a forced step since virus is expanding fiercely. It will greatly increase the chance of epidemic being contained. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
