Thanks for looking into this, I’ve always been curious what the Chicago building code had to say about these. Hopefully, they’ll get it worked out soon. Any idea of how it’s looked at in the Chicago suburbs?

By the way, I’ve heard that the wood flooring on many of these containers is soaked in pesticides and other toxic chemicals intended to preserve the products that are normally transported in them. You may want to think about replacing the flooring if you’re going to use it in a home. Also, I’ve heard some rumors about the marine paints used on the containers, possibly, being toxic as well.

After being inside for two days I thought I was ready to go back out. But today is brutal. My fellow Chicagoans, do not go outside today if you do not absolutely have to.
As a former media rep I have to applaud this billboard, on 94 by Fullerton. Mini Countryman ad talking about snow and ice. Now how could they have known when it went up that it would go all crazy blizzard style? Just good luck I guess.
Stay warm out there friends.

Thanks for the great post. I’m very disappointed to find out that you can’t build a container home in Chicago. How did you find this out? i’m interested because i’d like to stay current incase someday I can.
