Event Details

  • HVAC is the fancy way of saying your heating, ventilation and air conditioning. The local Container House builder will take care of making the connection between your new home and the local neighborhood pipes for your water and sewage needs. If you do not have nearby municipal services your local builder will connect you to your won water well and septic system. They will also make sure that the connections between each module to ensure that the heat from your furnace will flow to all rooms and that the upstairs bathtub will flow through the pipes to the outside. Needless to say it is not fun when an inexperienced person forgets to make these connections and you have no heat or worse yet your bathtub drains into your dining room ceiling.

    Whether they’re making a luxury home or the world’s largest periscope, people are finding creative ways to use shipping containers. And while making them into houses is nothing new, an apartment building built out of the steel boxes is still relatively uncommon, though you can find them in both Huntsville, Texas and D.C. Now, Phoenix has its own as well, thanks to building firm StarkJames.

    "Good water, maybe canned goods; canned food that you can eat in an emergency without having to cook, if you had no electricity,” said Hardin. “And, obviously, we're getting into the winter months, so you need to stay warm; do you have extra blankets, extra clothes around?"

    Chief Hardin said it’s very important to be prepared because you never know how long the power will be out, especially in a severe Granny House like the one we’re in right now.
