Dangerously Cool


As many of you know, I live in an old-ass house. It was built in the 1920s, and needs lots of cosmetic fixes. As this is totally overwhelming, I sometimes dream about starting over with a new house. Not just a new one, but a modern one.


This house makes me jealous. It is not only clean, modern and sleek, it is green in what I think is the most useful of ways--it reuses materials. In this case, shipping containers! The whole house is made of giant shipping containers connected together. Isn't that cool? Some of them were refrigerated shipping containers, so they come pre-insulated. And I love all of the windows--though I don't see that they provide much protection from zombies.

And of course zombies are a major consideration...

pretty cool idea, but i would still opt for some shades. There is something creepy about people being able to see in your house at all times!

Um, yes zombies are a major consideration! Didn't you know--when we were househunting Patrick and I passed over some places because of their proximity to a graveyard. This is my one illogical fear...
