What is it with their obsession with trying to use shipping containers as houses.
Why do none of them realize that something that was designed to the bare minimum standard of not destroying products would be a good thing to live in.
There like, actual materials designed to be used to build homes, maybe fucking try using some of them instead of trying to recreate what was supposed to be a crazy dystopian example of housing.
This is like the dumbasses that keep reinventing a train.
Take a shipping container, but you have to ventilate it and have heating and cooling.
Oh and you're going to have to have some kind of plumbing sos you'll need some internal walls and some penetrations
Wow I just had a great idea you could actually put some wheels on it and you could easily move it to any available lot.
Annddd it's an rv or a mobile home.
You have to insulate it too, there’s no getting around that. So the inside becomes smaller or you build a shell around the outside. More practical to just build a regular wooden house.
