Thanks MC,

Couple quick adjustments:

- Toxic paint is mitigated through encapsulation with spray foam insulation, or proper paint coating.

- Wood studs are not the best way, steel studs are the way to go. Further, because the furring is not structural, you can go 24" wide versus 16".

- Raw containers are cheap and easy to find. Just ask Craig.

The main advantage of containers is their modular capabilities. Produced entirely off site and delivered to client in completed form. Concrete must be site built, which is not a scalable.

People are really more into the aesthetic than anything.

Good points MC, thanks for the comment.
