Michele Bertomen and David Boyle bought an empty 20-by-40-foot lot in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  When traditional building plans proved too expensive, the couple decided to build their home from shipping containers–which cost them about $50,000, including labor.  In Brooklyn.  Let me repeat that.  They built a place to live, using recycled materials, in hipster heaven for $50K.  Unbelievable.
