You have a source for the connexes? I'm thinking of getting a 20 footer. The company delivers.

Smoking deal via Craigslist. There's another retailer offering $1500 40s currently but they havent returned my email.

I've got a buddy that uses 20 footers for shop space. He has had them moved in the past via a regular flat bed tow truck. It certainly makes moving them a lot less of an ordeal.

Looking like I need to move a 40' conex off my property soon. Anyone hauling conexs these days?

Yup.. PM inbound.

Interesting topic.
What’s the legality of building a residential facility from those 40’ in WA?
I have seen online bunch of very successful projects. None of them is in WA, though.

I framed one in as a tiny house a few years ago. It was not a good idea

Not sure what ever happened to it

Any reason why it didn't turn out well?

They are out there. This one in Kalama is pretty basic. https://www.discovercontainers.com/this ... to-a-home/

The biggest issue is insulation. In order to get proper WSEC insulation requirements, you still have to furr in the exterior walls, which can really cramp down the space. The roof insulation is the tricky part, with most codes requiring 14" of insulation to achieve R-49, you are going to do a mix of rigid on the outside of the roof with a membrane and then a batt system furred from the ceiling, again, cramping the space.

Bingo

They had me frame 2x6 walls inside. After sheetrock and cabinets on both sides there was about 20" left

ETA- Here's a story about it:

I've just talked to my City Hall about bringing in a couple of 20's to my back yard.
Basically as a standalone unit they are considered a camper trailer. Once you start attaching anything to it - all building codes apply, including residential.

The city of Tacoma didn't really know how to inspect the container when I was working on it

The problem with that one was that it wasn't in it's final spot as we were building it. Is it a mobile home? A modular home? A travel trailer? Depending on what the final buyer wanted to do with it any of those could have applied. I guess they could have dropped it on a barge and then it would be a house boat

Having outfitted containers several different ways as offices for the industrial waste water business the height insulation issue is solved with a high cube. 9'6" rather then 8'. And as far as price goes you get what you pay for. Best money can buy are the one time use VS the multiple loads on the cheaper one's.

Mine sold, so I wont be having to deal with the shipping aspect
