Homes from containers

After having worked and slept in them during Hong Kong's (tropical) summer, I can tell you that you'll be living in an oven.

By the time you've spent money on making them habitable....though they'll probably still look like the office in a car breaker's yard...may as well build a house that looks nice and is more in keeping with its Philippines surroundings.

Yes, not for me! Just remembered Steve mentioning it on here. I suppose you could line the container with Celotex or similar which might solve the heat problem, but then you would end up with a smaller internal space.
