Container Masters

I've had an interest in using shipping containers to build various types of structures. Container Masters is informative, educational and entertaining. Seeing the rough container go through the process of conversion into a beautiful container home was an informative and entertaining journey. The Container Masters team has fun along the way which is typical in most construction type environments. It's the perfect mix of educational and fun. I highly recommend this show to anyone curious about the use and modifications of shipping containers or if you simply like home build and improvement type shows.

Such poor execution. I know most 'reality' shows like this are a lot of staged drama and silliness, however in this one they include such little actual information about the container homes that it seems to not have any purpose.

The group isn't actually that interesting but the subject is; yet we get mostly the group and very little on the subject of container homes.

We don't find out how much they cost compared to having a small home built on-site. We don't find out how an on-site built container home might differ from one they have to be able to ship across the country. We don't find out what, if any, the benefits are to having a container as the structure rather than building a traditional frame.

They basically have to frame out the entire interior in a traditional style so that they can have insulation and a place to run wiring and plumbing. At that point, is there really a purpose to the container under it all? I was hoping to find out if this was really a genius, cost effective way to build a small home or just a gimmick that gives you something to talk about. This show didn't seem like they were going to answer that at any point.
