Just when you thought you've seen it all, someone comes up with a new idea and in this case it is causing quite the stir in Boise!  As a little girl, one of my favorite stories was a series called "The Boxcar Children".  I always dreamed of the freedom and fun of living in a boxcar.  Well .....if I really want to, my dream (and quite possibly yours) could be realized this spring!

Shipping containers are going to be the new "thing" this spring in Boise as we will see them become homes for many families in the area.   Now, I realize shipping containers aren't exactly box cars but hey....a girl can dream right?  Construction of the shipping container homes is expected to begin in Garden City this spring.

These homes will have three bedrooms and three stories that includes a 500-square-foot garage with studio space. The containers will also have balconies and are also eco friendly!  They are rumored to use materials that can last 100 years with low maintenance.  Click here for the story and to see if living in a container might be your next adventure.
