Greetings!
Happy Halloween!
In keeping with “scary things…”
Welcome to another exciting episode of:
“What’s that Shipping Container Idiot up to… NOW?”
While I usually go on a rant about this ISBU topic, or that one, today I’m going to give you some advise;
RenaissanceRonin uses a lot of YouTube footage on the blog. And, when those little episodes are posted [...]

Greetings!
I know…I know… I’m gaining a reputation as a “Corten Crazy…”
I’m building a home for my family (if it kills me), by using Shipping containers as the core. I’m doing it for a lot of reasons, and I’ve talked about them all here, over the last couple of hundred posts.
As I continue down my ISBU [...]

Welcome back!
Now, before you start thinking; “Oh Man… that Ronin is on a tear again…” I’m going to ask you for a few minutes of your time, to read this post. I know how valuable your time is. I’m asking, because this is important.
Look, I know it sounds like I’m trying to become a “Political [...]

This is what the powers that be [...]

Take 4 ISBU’s (shipping containers) and stack them up to the sky, one on top of the other…
What do you get?
NO! Not a nosebleed and bigger quads…
Well… um… you MIGHT get bigger quads… but stairs are good, right? Better than that “apple a day” nonsense… Have you priced produce lately? I’d rather pay a doctor… [...]

Greetings Campers!
If you’ve been following along, you know that my family is trying to build a steel house, in a backasswards neighborhood.
I’m talking about using Shipping Containers and recycled Aircraft Hangars, to build homes for people who really need them. And, the goal is to do it affordably and sustainably.
No! Not ADAM’s house. but something [...]

“If America is healing… and everything is getting fixed…”
Then how come everything is still broken?
I mean, if I was a Nobel Prize Winning President (and in only 14 days, no less!), you’d think I’d have actually delivered on at least ONE promise.
Pick one. Your choice. ANY one…
Well? I’m still waiting…
After spending trillions of [...]

Welcome back!
Man, you must be a glutton for punishment!
If you’ve been following along, you already know that my family is trying to solve a housing problem, by creating MORE problems…
Seems counter-productive, I know…
But, you see, if we create and then RESOLVE these problems now, the next poor bastard that comes along, trying to [...]

Greetings, you Corten Crusaders, You!
You all know who I am, already. I’m the guy building a home for his family, using shipping containers. And, that means that I’m “fighting city hall” tooth and nail. So, as I fight my fight, I’m helping other people build their own Shipping Container houses.
You’ve [...]

You know me…
Coming to you… live from my little tiny workspace here in “OMG, Mississippi“…
I usually go on a “Corten Container” filled rant… And, today’s not gonna be any different! No Siree! Except…
This time, I’m gonna talk about how you actually get that Shipping Container home from “across the street”, to “off-grid, across the county [...]
