About this listen
Out of all the possible building materials available for homes, the last thing you might expect to hear about is shipping containers - yes, the same steel, rectangular containers seen on trucks and ships going across the world to deliver goods.
While it might seem like a new trend, the truth is, shipping containers have been used for nearly two decades and have been transformed into various multi-purpose living and working spaces. What are some of the reasons why the best-selling author Matt Brown among so many others advocate the use of this type of structure for a home? Well, listen to this book now to find out, and you will be amazed at all the opportunities!
Here are just some of the questions and topics that are covered within this audiobook:
- Shipping container homes: pros and cons
- What about costs? New or used?
- Living in tiny spaces
- Buying a used shipping container
- How to inspect your container home
- Permits and building codes
- Finding an experienced contractor
- Your conversion basics
- Insuring your tiny space
- Avoiding mistakes
- And much more!
Listen to the audiobook now and learn more about shipping container homes.

Story
Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Story
Dr. Catherine Kleier invites us to open our eyes to the phenomenal world of plant life and to the process she calls “Natura Revelata”, the joy of celebrating and learning from the secrets of nature. As Dr. Kleier shares her knowledge with contagious excitement for her subject, she emphasizes the middle ground: Instead of focusing on cell microbiology or the study of ecosystems and habitats, she stresses the basic biology, function, and the amazing adaptations of the plants we see all around us.
