About

All locally NY State hand milled pine wood interior with cedar ceiling in bathroom.
Metal ceiling throughout rest of container home.
Blown in closed cell foam insulation-6” on top and bottom, 4” on all 4 walls. Metal storm door.
Anderson insulated 2 pane windows w/screens.
32x32 fiberglass shower
Flush toilet
Bathroom sink.
Exhaust fan.
Kitchen has large sink, goose-neck faucet w/spray and 2 burner propane stove.
Right now it is fully hooked up at a campsite. Has all rv hookups; sewer, water hose hookup and electric hookup. Electric box is set up for 100 amp, 60 amp or 30 amp. I have been running it on the 30 amp due to the campground requirements. There are 5 outlets in the house and 1 outlet where the fuse box is if you need an outside outlet.
Vinyl floor which I really like is low maintenance and easy to clean.
Electric and plumbing done to code.
Marey propane instant hot water heater -no tank- works very well.
Hickory cabinets.
A beautiful oak, I believe, shelf for desk or table - it is bolted in and very sturdy.
I have a twin bed at one end with storage shelves underneath. Bed could easily be adjusted to make higher or lower by removing wooden legs and replacing with larger ones . Bed has cedar wood slats in order for mattress to have air. Cedar is a great to keep space dry and bug free. I only have a mattress on top of slats -no box spring-the slats act as the box spring.
Under the bed is pine shelving for storage.
I use a small portable oil electric heater, the type that look like a radiator.
This insulation is incredible. I do not remember the R factor numbers but I do remember that they are very high. I left the heater on low (low uses 900 watts) when leaving the house, and medium (medium uses 1200 watts) when home or when I wanted it warmer. On medium it remains a steady 70 degrees. Low probably mid to high 60's. I only needed to use high (low uses 1500 watts) when it dipped into the negative teens. I stayed so toasty warm all winter.
There is a porch light out side and a sensor light.
The container is on a trailer.
The trailer is NOT included with this sale.
For a couple of reasons.
First, it is not necessary. If you look at every shipping container house on line you will be hard pressed to find one on a trailer. I have only seen them on the ground on top of either railroad ties or cinder blocks, stone or brick.
I had to purchase the trailer separate as the campground would not allow it without wheels. The container is ready to ship hence its name. It can be hauled onto a lowered flatbed or lifted by a crane or forklift onto a flatbed or a trailer. This can be done in about the same amount of time as one can hook up a camper or tiny house on wheels to a tow truck. This can be explained to any involved person questioning it not being on wheels. People just don't think of that; they are usually just thinking "tiny house needs to be on wheels". This is not the case with something that was created to ship and move at will.
Aesthetically, the container looks much nicer on the ground. It looks like a little cottage contrary to its appearance on wheels.
Secondly, despite this, if one really wanted to put it on wheels, I suggest a more adequate trailer. The trailer it is on is much bigger and heavier than what is needed. I bought it on the last minute to satisfy the campground requirements and it was all I could find.
I will of course sell the trailer if interested.
