better than cardboard and toothpicks
White people are fucking weird
I've looked into it. Living properly in one of those things costs more than just building a ranch style house. These are rich hippies.
This, it’s appropriation of poverty culture and it’s sick.
Looks like a small breeze could pick that pile of shit up and throw it
Their walls are metal. Any money saved on building would be lost within a year on heating and air conditioning due to how easily heat transfer occurs.
Should have taken Thermo in college!
White people invented traditional housing.
I would live in a home made from shipping containers
>sturdy
>spacious
>durable
>probably much cheaper than building a proper house
Why not?
Normal houses are to expensive.
Still better to live in a tiny house or camper van than paying 1500 dollars for a single room apartment per month.
As if that wasn't true for any American house..
I guess steel even lasts a bit longer than plywood.

>asbestos
>chemical waste

>pesticides from dock decon
Sounds like the place to raise a family.
It's not true. It's just a cope used by euros to justify the fact that they're too poor to afford houses. Just like "we have less CO2 emissions than you"
Latest SWPL fad. Tiny houses are big too. Ignore and they’ll move onto the next thing.
Faggot op, a shipping containe rcan cost only 1k a piece sometimes free. Cutting out doorways and windows and doing wiring and plumbing you can build a house for at most 10k. But no go buy a 800k cardboard home built by illegals right?
Because they're retarded newfags. Stormcucks only jerk them off because they're white but actual white people would just build their own homes
Source?
Plenty of fresh air if you open those container doors.
Does a mason build your houses or a carpenter?
That's your answer.
You literally live in some ahithole in omaha where the nicest thing to you is a fucking wendys. Kys nigger
this, they're garbage cans. they should be melted down
she's got a nice rack at least.
land paid for, house paid for, all solar, natural fresh water out back, deer, rabbits, NO FUCKING PEOPLE, no coronachan
Clearly youve never worked with CONEX units.
You need to build interior walls and insulate between the metal outside and interior surface. You need to build a foundation and insulate the floor. You'll probably want to build a roof.
A fully fitted out single wide prefab home the same size as a 40' conex can be bought new for about $20,000.
Theres really no advantage to a conex unless youre willing to freeze in a metal box without doing any of the modifications required to make it tolerable.
Houses like this are fun little projects to build and they’re cheap starter homes.
also living in those containers can't be that bad. i've occasionally worked in a temporary office built from construction site containers and they have everything you need. kitchen, bed, internet, heating, plumbing. it was comfy as hell.
Young people, especially young libs, want to live near the city no matter what.
Some live in a 2 bedroom apartment with 5 other people, others build shipping container houses.
Damn that woman is gorgeous hello milkees
Least it's a step up from a tent with a shopping cart
If any of those things could be proven like you claim they have workers on ship could sue companies on damages. And yet, they do not, why is that?
And now we can't afford it.
Meanwhile, while you NEETs bitch about his house...at least he has one. He also has a hot wife with great big tits that he blows his load on and in every night. Stay mad, faggots.
Good ol' American desire for freedom.
I'm not saying it necessarily provides freedom, I have no idea, I just know people want out of their soulless matchstick suburban McMansions where they spend all day thinking about what the HOA would like better.

they do it for the youtube bux, retard
I could sure go for some Wendy's® right now.
Their beef patties are fresh, never frozen. Quality is their recipe.
These two assholes. They make clickbait pics for their videos and then the bitch is just fat and frumpy the whole time and never in the sports bra or skirts from the clickbait pic
Yeah And every nigger can shoot you throught wall from outside.
Better than living in a trailer.
Why do you care so much how anyone else lives? I think you're just jealous dude lives in a shipping container and still gets more pussy than you do
what is spray foam insulation
If they go through all that effort... why not just build real walls?
This dude built a shipping container castle and it's pretty awesome. I like the view from up top, good for shooting at intruders.

Durr, land of the free, hurr
Fuck your shit government (and all governments for that matter).
>2020
>not building your own shipping container compound
Guess you chose the pod life
its ugly as fuck but it works and still looks more substantial or better quality than a manufactured home
Due to a certain group of people who hijacked everything within our society.
One bad storm and their entire life is fucked
Actually these tiny houses can look pretty comfortable
>>>Lead paint
Got some bad news for ya buddy, unless your house was built this side of 1978 (as most homes these days are pretty old) there's probably be a coat or two under your siding too.
Because of poverty
Pic related average american home in 20 years
you can tell OP is a bot posting from a proxy because no american asks "why are americans doing x" to a bunch of non-americans.
What used to be affordable has become luxury. Cars, meat, travel, children, and so on. Owning a home is a luxury now.
And to have any work done for you by an American is insanely expensive. Need your wax ring checked under your toilet? $450. Want to build a 20x18 addition to your house? $65k. Need an electrician for anything? $500. Man's gotta eat you know?
So building it yourself. Doing it yourself. Figuring it out for yourself has become the norm. And if all you need is a basic structure to begin with, heck you can get a shipping container for a few grand! That gets you 80% of the way there. An angle grinder and some cheaply sourced windows will give you the basic structure of a room. Add a little drywall, some paint, and run some electricity out there, and you've got yourself an addition to your house. Better than paying some contractor $60 grand to send some Mexicans to your house.
In a lot of places it already is. Think shitty prefabs and trailers.
It’s pretty expensive.
You could just build an a-frame house, or a bunch of them (1 for you, a bunch for the harem, some more for the kids) and have some containers nearby for a garage or or gym or whatever.
Even in this country building them is cheap (and that's really saying something). And if you learn how to do it yourself it gets a whole lot cheaper again.
My house hasn't been out to see for the last 10 years.
I literally just bought a house from 1978 thats brick and hurricane proof.
Avoiding property taxes
This.
You strip them bare before using them, at least that's the law here, then you re-coat them is some protective shit. Or just line it from top to bottom in timber.
im not a bot
how does that avoid property taxes
Yeah brick might be different (as long as the bricks have never been Painted before 1978 when they stopped putting lead in paint)
double layered brick house master race here too
1951 here. Brick, framed with oak that was dipped in creosote. Will last for eternity.
Oh I sea
