The 3 SOIL MISTAKES That Will Crack Your Container Home's Foundation

You did everything right—a level foundation, a straight container, strong welds—but years later, your container home is tearing itself apart.

Understanding the living, moving system beneath your feet is the only way to ensure your home lasts a lifetime.
