Greetings, you “Corten Crazies,” you!
Several of you have emailed me lately, asking me what my son Joshua wants for his Birthday.
We’re happy to report that on October the 12th, our son, and “Future Emperor of the Universe”… will turn two years old… and that both of his parents have survived it thus far!
As my [...]

Well…
Look who’s back! I’ve been sitting here, waiting patiently for you to show up. You know how I hate to lecture… with empty seats.
Don’t bother looking around… Yep, that’s right… You’re the only one here!
But, this is a pretty good “shipping container sermon”, if I do say so myself, so you’re just gonna have to [...]

Greetings, Campers!
Aren’t you sick of all this “Shipping Container Nonsense”… yet?
Nope? Me either!
As you probably already know, I’m the guy building shipping container homes, for sport and even profit!
Of course, in my case, the profit is the knowledge that another family has found a home!
And… I find it sporting to give [...]

Greetings, you “Corten Crusaders” you!
As I bury my head in pages and pages of Geothermal HVAC research (until it feels like my little tiny brain is going to explode), from time to time, I take a “Google Break…”
(Seriously, this “research” is so full of crap that you’d think politicians wrote it! Oy! I’ve re-written my [...]
Well… ISBU to YOU, too!

Bob Vila, Bob Schmila… sheesh…
“Bob Vila says this… Bob Vila says that…” Oy freakin Vey! Enough already!
You’d think that Bob invented ISBU (Intermodal Steel Building Unit) shipping container housing…
Actually, I’m being way too hard on Bob. For years growing up, I sat mesmerized in front of the TV, watching Bob rave about this or [...]
It’s not getting “better.” You’re just “getting used to it.”

Hey, are we fixed yet?
I’m building a house out of steel… cuz’ the “Big Bad Wolf” swiped all the straw, sticks, and bricks, when I wasn’t looking…
He says he needs them for his next go-round of stimulus give-aways…
I’m the guy trying to build a Shipping Container house, in South Mississippi. Now, it’s not as [...]

It’s Me, “Mr. Corten Castle” himself!
At a “closed door” meeting on Affordable Housing, somebody in Jackson actually called me that recently! Sheesh! I’d prefer something like “Mr. Man, are you a Studly Bastard!” Or even “Mr. Man who thinks that he knows everything…”
Wait, that’s what my wife calls me… and then she spits. There’s spit [...]

Greetings, Campers!
Happy Freakin’ Labor Day, AMERICA!!
Yeah, it’s me again! That “metal craving miscreant” who dreams of living in a steel cocoon, while all those “naysaying bastards” drift slowly out to sea, after the next hurricane races in and kicks their butts!
Yikes! Where did THAT come from? Geez, I gotta check my med’s again! [...]
