This is the story of a couple’s off-grid shipping container home.
Before, they used to live in a 4-bedroom home with a pool.
But it costs them so much money, that they wouldn’t have enough money left over for other things they wanted to do.
So the couple decided to build a shipping container tiny home with solar power and water collection systems to live off-grid, debt-free and without utility bills.
This is the story of how they did it. And how just maybe, you can do it too. Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

This box truck conversion story is a guest submission.
Hello, My name is Bill Cogar II and I live in Sutton, West Virginia, USA.
I am a Boilermaker by trade and I have to travel for my work. Most of my work comes as an emergency outage when a power plant suddenly comes off line due to a break down of the steam generating boiler.
Those types of outages can last as little as one day or turn into several days or weeks. Lodging on short notice can be difficult to obtain and with the uncertainty of the job length, one never really knows how long they are going to need a bed and a place to shower.
Some I’ve worked with, move in and out of a room every day until the job is done. I’ve kept track of the cost of the build and by using what some of my co-workers pay for lodging, I estimate this vehicle has paid me back over three times now, not to mention the convenience of having it on “ready stand-by” when a job comes along.
I keep track of the number of days away from home and right now I’m at about 600 nights of habitation in my truck. My cost of living this way usually runs around 5-10% of my take home pay on a given job. Boilermakers rarely get a per-diem so your lodging, food and travel come right off the top of your take-home. I try and keep as much as possible.
What you will see in the following pictures is what I built to live in to make these outages a lot more bearable.

This is a modern industrial tiny home in the ‘Tiny Town’ neighborhood of Toronto designed by LineBox Studio that we featured back in 2016 to show you how awesome tiny homes can be if they are legalized in more places. The great part about this tiny house is that it was built using many reclaimed materials.
Not to mention, that it’s actually pretty huge. It’s more of a small house, or, I guess some people might call it a very spacious tiny house. It was designed and built this way because it sits on a very narrow lot that measures only 14′ by 70′. In total, it’s a 566-sq.-ft. home with super tall ceilings! It must be wonderful getting to live in it, don’t you think? Wouldn’t it be great getting to see more homes like this being developed? Even communities filled with homes around this size?
