Hi, we're Jarad & Kristy A. Brinkerhoff. We live in beautiful Glendale, Utah. We have 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy). We live on a small farm with chickens, peacocks, sheep, goats, dogs, and a Llama. In August 2017 we decided to take a leap of faith and start building a container home. For years we talked about doing this and trying something new and creative, something out of the normal, something maybe even unusual. We decided to do a container home because we wanted to build sustainable. By using things that are already made and could be repurposed. We wanted to have our kids involved in this project to help them learn new skills. Jarad likes to work with and enjoys building things from metal. So it was a great fit. We wanted to do something that could be useful and beautiful to bring our family together. We look forward to having others come and experience the joy this container house brings.
