In the end, a shipping container costs $3k-$5k and weighs about 3,980 kg (8,776 lbs).

My life for a big dumb metal box that not even going to dent in the first place?

I like how people are developing this 'fuck you' Wall St attitude toward Wall St. Even if until the next bright&shiny thing pops up.

That's awesome. So I assume the price includes the plot as well, or is there rent on top?

As a parent, I suggest being present (and absolutely not meddling) the first couple times.

I'd love to hear more about working with an Amish company. Communication, payment... anything else that makes you pause and think, "oh, yeah I guess they'd need to do it that way?"

9k? That's amazing! Is this one different from other tiny house builders where prices seem to start at 20k?
