dedicating 1/3 of extremely limited floorspace to stairs to fit the fucking garage
Truly brilliant.
Way more sensible than just adding an awning to the side of it for $40 and parking under that.
Shipping container houses are one of those things that seem like a great idea unless you know literally anything about construction or think about it for more than 30 seconds.
Case in point the genius telling me that the internal temperature reaching 125 degrees in "some situations" (the sun being out) doesn't have any effect on living conditions.
You're just acclimatizing yourself to the future average day time temperatures.
It comes with all the cost saving of not adding a second pair of legs to the container for the low low price of adding 3 sets of staircases to a 40ft container
For like... 700$ US you can get a "car port" and just bolt the metal supports to the concrete pad.
i dont know where the idea a covering for a vehicle is obligatory even comes from, theres not much of a rule to provide parking period, nevermind covered
You ever had to clear snow off your car before work? It sucks
if you're able-bodied and have a $10 brush or scraper, you can clear a car in like 5 minutes or less. it's even a bit fun.
Many Canadians are doing this
Unless it rained before it started to snow so you have a nice layer of ice under the snow. Covered parking is just way nicer if you have a car.
Yeah, that's valid. For me, it's like 90% of my life was spent in a place where we had to clear our cars of snow and ice as they warmed up for most days for 3 to 4 months of the year, so it never felt that wrong. Covered parking was never even on our radar tbh, but I can see how yucky it would be if it wasn't the usual
Fun?! Nah, fuck that
that's how i know developers don't really give a shit about it. this scheme compromises so much for a thing the competition knows ain't much of a selling point
people don't like getting rained on when they gotta take stuff in or outside
but we'll tolerate it for basic accomidation, which is seriously bungled by this 'conveinience' scheme
I don't even cover my motorcycle every time I park it much less my car lmao.
