People all over the Coastal Bend might be noticing more and more shipping containers homes like the one-off Loop 35 near Shaver Road.The area is prone to flooding but the homes owner tells KRIS 6, theyre not too worried."The windows on the front porch are a new addition since I was last here. It's sort of coming together how I imagined, homeowner, Toni Fewell said. Fewell has been working towards building a container home.Literally starting from the ground up and now nearly complete."I think that's part of why this shipping container. To have more stability and something more durable than a typical stick home, Fewell said. Fewell took into consideration storms and hurricanes.It was more than seven years ago that Hurricane Harvey left a path of destruction which cities like Aransas Pass and Rockport are still recovering from.If and when a storm does come through it should stand, Fewell said. The contractor for this project, Cory Moore tells KRIS 6 it took him two months to draw up the plans for this container home."We have the amazing view that you see behind me is the Gulf, Moore said. A roof top deck to enjoy the view, a patio, and a car port.These 3 bedrooms, 2 bath also comes with peace of mind."Everything is welded together and with the concrete- everything is welded to that. It's secure, Moore said. Moore expects to finish this shipping container home in a couple of months.There's plans to build more in other neighborhoods across the Coastal Bend.
