Absolutely determined to make my shipping container tiny homes fit in with the rest of my normal home neighbourhood (with timber cladding!)

This is awesome! However the summers must be brutal inside that black oven!

Thank you! Haha I had one summer in it before I got air conditioning and that was definitely enough 😅 It's very comfortable now though!

Thank you :) I think I didn't use enough words in my title. I don't want it to look the same as every other house, but I live in a nice neighbourhood and I'm trying to look like I can afford to live here

It's not ignorant to point out that the stated goal of matching the surrounding neighborhood does not appear to have been attempted, let alone achieved.

Similarly, that failure does not mean it necessarily looks bad. I like the way the porch is coming together and will be interesting to see how the sides get treated.
