Shipping Container Home Project San Isidro, San Ramón
Alajuela - Costa Rica:

Installation of two shipping container converted into a home in Costa Rica

The following photos will show the unloading, transporting and installation of two 20ft steel shipping containers.

First, a solid platform was created using cement and rebar filled into a plastic circular container. There is a cement base in the ground about 1M x 1M and 8" thick in which the plastic containers sit on and the rebar penetrates. Then, treated 4x4s were set in place to support the sides of the shipping container. Once these were in place the septic, water and the electricity were installed. Then the roof was created along with the deck and surrounding wood structures.
