Container Homes/Living Off the grid

Ok. So I'm really into container gardening, but when my sister called to tell me about container homes...that intrigued me. Containers. You know the ones we see at the docks here in Seattle and anywhere that has a sea port. You will also see them trudging up the Mississippi and Illinois rivers.
Check out how creative people can be. They are pretty darn cheap if you don't have to pay for shipping. Hmmmm......
Check out these websites:
Yahoo Green"container homes"
"The house lady" -this CNN site talks about a home that looks just like the others on the block but is made out of steal. Hmmmm.....
I'm liking this!
Now to find the land. Then I want a composting toliet and a rainwater harvesting cistern. I also want a solar powered shower, and a wood stove (like the old days).
I also found a solar powered recharge station for my computer at REI. Someday I will live off the grid.
