It's always interesting watching folk build unconventional homes

Just watching one now being built out of shipping containers

I've watched this type of build before .
I don't recall the containers being treated for rust .

Don't they require said treatment ?

so they have a certain degree of rust prevention built into them.

However it's still a factor that needs to be considered when converting them for residential (or commercial) use:
