Casa madmaxista hecha con contenedores

Coronel Quaritch dijo:

Ona pregunta sencilla.

¿Que posibilidades creéis que hay de que la guasa civil o los locales descubrieran una casa como la "casa hobbit" construida en un terreno rural (donde no es legal construir) lleno de arboles y plantas que la disimularan?

Me refiero a algo así:

A Low Impact Woodland Home

¿las autoridades mandan a gente a "inspeccionar" el terreno o algo?

From someone who has explored this: DON'T.
First, shipping containers are practically made of toxins in order to prevent bugs and corrosion.
Shipping containers have high levels of chromates or lead in the paint due to the marine coatings. Even the very recent "non-toxic" phosphate paints are still toxic to fish. They're typically made in China/Asia, places known not to care much about lead / heavy metals pollution. The wooden floors are typically made of non-sustainably harvested tropical hardwoods and impregnated with highly toxic pesticides. So basically you have to rip out the floor, sandblast every square inch of painted surface, and only then can you start construction - but there are still more problems. The most popular way of putting in windows/doors is a plasma cutter or fireman's saw or acetylene torch, which burns the metal and coats every interior surface with toxic metal dust. Shipping containers are also terribly heat conductive (being steel) and hard to heat and cool even with spray-in insulation. Also, the structural integrity is badly compromised when you cut the corrugated steel walls to put in windows/doors so making multistory designs becomes dicey.
In gutting a 2 TEU container (8000 lb) via ripping out the floor and sandblasting, we generated 1700 lb of hazardous waste (contaminated blasting media plus the wooden floor), which cost us $365 to dispose of. This is actually on the low side, most sandblasting rules of thumb specify 1 pound of media per square foot is normal so you might run as high as 2500lb of blasting media alone. That, and blasting a ceiling clean is absolutely awful work. And now you have to go back into the same confined space with a stinky paint sprayer to put non-toxic paint back on.
1700lb is 20% of the container's weight. Not quite "made of" toxins, but certainly bad and far far less toxins and waste are generated by constructing a steel building of equivalent dimensions.
Secondly, any insulation you add on the inside decreases your livable space (4" of insulation doesn't sound like much but that drops your interior width from 7'8" to 7', an 8% reduction!).
IMHO, the only reason to use a shipping container as a house is if it is actually going to be shipped on a ship, train, or truck to various locations around the world, used for awhile, and shipped somewhere else. This means that it retains all of its structural strength and has no windows or other cuts in the exterior, as that's the only way a shipping company will take it. The best way I've seen of doing this is to fill the entire end of the container with two glass doors inset behind the structural steel doors that allows light and air exchange in the structure.
Due to these factors, the best thing to do with shipping containers is to crush and recycle them, not use them as houses.
I used to think that shipping container housing was cool until I did some research. I was involved with an artists' collective here that wanted to do a shipping container art center, but we settled on a conventional steel framed structure - it's recyclable, sustainable, and long-lasting with no added toxins as it's meant to be a habitable space from the get-go.
This is not to say you can't repurpose containers - we did. Without having to do anything at all to them, we used them as nice storage sheds.
tl;dr Drop the idea entirely. Go with a conventional steel framed building.
