More shipping container homes to drool over

[BDG]

They would not work buried, weight of soil from sides would crush them or push them out of the ground and weight from above would crush them unless you only had a little cover over it.

Now, if you dug the hole larger, cast a slab in it and built retaining walls inside the hole - you might has well have dug a bunker in the first place. I could see some one getting away with putting a slab in, putting the container in, lining around it with reinforcing mesh then pouring 1-2 foot at a time, that could work.

Seriously, the one I know in the woods, it took me a good while to spot the thing on google earth zoomed right in, and I know where it is. Load of cammo mesh on top of it and it would be invisible from the air and the only way you would find it is by walking into it or bumping into people coming and going from it.

Moral of the story - if you are going to buy some land, buy woodland.
