seems to me if you have to asking about doing it .... your not the guy who will do it.

the guy who will already has his mind made up and burried a container before you could start a new thread on doing it

Okay, last time I post about it. It's been done to death.

I think I found your problem anotherchance. I went back and read ur early posts. The sealands do not bear the weight on the corners only. It is already designed to accept the weight evenly. While certainly the corners are reinforced, the design none the less is for the weight to be spread out evenly, and rightfully so. I'm done.


out.

I read on the net about a company that comercially builds 300 ft deep subterranean homes equipped with hvac and underground generators. These generators make electricity from electricity and are totally self contained! like a battery powered alternator or generator. technicly you could pedal a bike hooked up to an alternator and make electricity but the secret is in the lithium batery. My theory is u may be able to hook something up to a wind mill or sumtin! where i live nobody would even second guess and even if they did i know some1 in every department!

What happened with you budsmoker
about april 2007 year i sunk 2 40 footers and a generator, make no mistake even old patched rusted containers are expensive, The generator selected was powered by Diesel. The cost of purchase and Excavation, and generator was nearly 40k. usd. Both containers had to be craned into place, lots of questions.

the generator was used with 85 hours and still brought 10,500.00 plus shipping.

underground you could still hear the motor, under load the fuel was about 1.7 gallons of fuel a hour. (18000 watts was burnin) the lead acid backup was used and less than perfect. It was 24 deep cell batterys providing a mere 1.4 minutes of reserve back up power.

The smell in one container was horrible and had to be abandoned the other 40 footer once runnin was non suitable for hydroponic applications,

Once winter came and you had to suck in cool air caused the humitity levels to hover around 85-90 %


after 3 cycles i let a partner use this setup, he too suffered, in the end i sold the investment, less hardware lights fans trays, i put a shit ton of money to sleep.

Make sure to think this out. Hell my containers were 10.5 tons of steel. so the scrap value alone was 6500.00. you better have deep pockets or good customers.

hope this helps

This isnt my thread but i have concidered an underground life style where growing would be possible but life style crops not just bud would be concidered(corn peppers tomatoes etc) and ya that shit would be expensive but if u had a good excuse and the safety was amazing... wouldnt u do it if u had the money? i know the stocks are doing bad but my pocket is getn bigger not smaller and it aint cuz i involve myself in illegal activity! I only smoke and my future is lookn like i could afford sum crazy ass shit! Do sum research on subterranean homes and tell me you wouldnt buy it or start a community????????? (if u could)..?!

all of the homes should be underground and then we could leave the upside looking sweet instead of the ugly crap it looks like now
the energy needed to run the vast ventilation systems for every home would probably increase air pollution and black out the skies.

as is now opening a window is free and aside from the resources used when creating the window, its going to use very little natural resources over time.

im not talking way underground, just under will do and skylights are all that you need. i have seen these homes and they are way more efficient then above ground homes and you can grow crops on top and the efficiency of growing your own food will make the world a much cleaner place
