When we rent or purchase our homes, we know that a lot of work was put into building the structures we live in and the roofs over our heads.
There's no shortcut to building a house or a building. It takes patience, energy, and the resources to build the homes we see in our neighborhood. No wonder they're so expensive!
But it could be cheaper than previously thought to build the home or office of our dreams without wood, stone, or cement. The mere shell of the house — the walls of your home — would be a container.
That's right! The huge, often empty metal boxes you see on ships or attached to trucks have expiration dates. At some point in time, after many uses, they must be retired and are left in storage. They have no further use, but you can buy them at a relatively cheap price.
Buy one or two, and you can build yourself a home or office of a decent size.
Check our this architect's awesome office, which he designed himself. He decided to use the empty containers for many reasons, including their resistance to earthquake shocks and their efficient climate control.
Now watch the clip to see how he built this home office, and to take a look inside…
Please SHARE if you think this would be an awesome way to build energy and resource-efficient homes in America!
