  3. Living On Rainwater & Solar Power In This OFF-GRID, Modern, Shipping Container Home

    This video features Robyn, who lives full off grid in her self build, modern shipping container home.
    Robyn shares why she left the conventional way of life, and is now on a journey to self-sufficiency, full off grid with no utility bills, raising animals, and growing her own vegetables...

  4. Sometimes in Toronto you come across something that cannot possibly be legal in this town. Check out the delicious Cơm Nước just off Queen East near Broadview.

  5. @kkarhan @ownohmanny @derPUPE The #Guardian has a nice article on #ShippingContainer #housing. Apparently, they are slightly ahead in cost if things are kept basic:

    "[...] cost savings begin to disappear as soon as you start playing around with containers’ basic structure, try to meld units together, or do anything fancy with stacking arrangements."

  6. @kkarhan @ownohmanny @derPUPE I'm no expert on #ShippingContainer #housing, but you might underestimate the cost of containers even when bought.

    Attached graph is from a small feasability study: sustain.wwu.edu/files/2021-08/

    Dutch Keetwonen actually set up a production line in China, which manufactured the container units for 20,000€ each. Final cost apparently was about 38,000€ per place.

    German #EBA51 actually cost 13.5 million € for 235 units, or 57,500€ each.

  7. @ownohmanny @kkarhan @derPUPE It's not only that it's low standard. #ShippingContainer #housing is actually expensive. That's why you won't see it as a default. My former town, #Maintal, did a study in 2015 on how to house 50 people on short notice. Most housing types came in at about 32,000€ (steelframe or woodframe #prefab) to 34,000€ (for a solid house). Renting containers for 5 years was 10,000€ per place. Big advantage of container housing is quick and temporary.

  8. @kkarhan @derPUPE I get the #solarpunk vibe of #ShippingContainer #housing. But I don't think they are practical. Bad heat insulation. Noisy. High carbon footprint. Not that great longevity. Bad for mobility impaired folks due to lack of escalators. Harder to self-customize compared to other materials.

    Funding and prioritizing housing co-ops imho creates better results. Like the Danish #andelsboligforening: da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andelsbo
    Or German #Wohnungsgenossenschaft:
