Holyoke Family Shipping Container Cabin

When their family cabin getaway began to crumble and fall apart, two brothers in northern Minnesota decided to build a replacement on their own. Paul and Scott Stankey had to take into consideration both their small budget and the extreme weather in the area. After purchasing two old shipping containers for $800 each, they built this cabin on-site by themselves. When finished, it will be able to accommodate both brothers and their wives and feature birch interior walls and a grey-water system.
