this is really tacky and poorly designed
Honey, the house smashed our cybertruck again!
Love the house though
pretty cool, but why bother with the stairs? just put a normal trailer home on a 20 degree incline and call it a day.

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
I don’t even cover my motorcycle every time I park it much less my car lmao.
You ever had to clear snow off your car before work? It sucks
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
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
Fun?! Nah, fuck that
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
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
All these attempts to make inexpensive, affordable housing like this completely ignore the fact that it’s not the house itself that’s so expensive. It’s the land.
these require much less land than a detached single family home…
…
…
what do you mean “apartment block”?
True, though I feel like this kind of “cheap and easy to build housing” is exactly the kind of thing that appeals to the near-sighted ‘real-estate developers’ of today.
Why spend so much time and money building a duplex, when you can plop some shipping containers on a lot and start leaching in a fraction of the time and with a fraction of the investment?
A tall apartment complex is way more tenants for not much more land though, so it doesn’t even work for that.
Only upside is that you can’t fit a big car under there
The shipping container home thing is similar to making furniture out of shipping pallets. Not functional, not aesthetically pleasing, and probably dangerous (chemically treated wood vs hot metal box that takes too much work to be livable).
If Amazon was a competent company that was better than its predecessors, then it would have kit-homes like the Sears catalog used to, and no one would bother with this container BS. But instead it’s oops-all-dropshipping.
A good modular home design could fit in a couple shipping containers easily (if packed right). Some stuff will still be needed on site like a level surface and a sewage/water/electric hookup.
But instead it’s oops-all-dropshipping.
I keep saying ads for pre-fab tiny homes that are approaching like 90m² pop up. That used to be like a sears catalogue single family home. I think we’re getting there, if not there already

Heh
This just reduces floor space inside the container for no appreciable reason. Park the car on that strip of ground outside.
Where do I shit.

Tankies stay losing
Aw I thought it was being carried on top of the car
this but instead of a car under the container it’s lying flat and there are several, hundreds even, containers in a row, linked together and all pulled along rails by the same engine

My new gig work idea the “worker train” we travel from city to city doing temp work.
imagine you live in a crappy town and one day a bunch of temp workers roll up to the station and improve the ever loving shit out of everything before piling back into the train and fucking off into the sunset and everyone just looks around bewildered at the fixed up infrastructure and revived businesses and nice landscaping
Basically a poverty reduction cadre in a communist country, but we put them on a train so it’s extra communist.
