Joseph bought each 20’ container for $2,500 USD and worked 12-13 hour days for three months doing approximately 95% of the work himself - almost 1000 hours of sweat equity. The $20,000 Cost does not include the infloor radiant heating - fuelled by a propane fired hot water tank for heating or the Solar Power System which includes nine solar panels of 235 watts each, mounting array, inverter, controller and 27 volt battery bank.) These costs are separated here because they are unique to Josephs site needs and interests and don’t reflect what minimal Construction costs could have been - $41 sqft.
