Strix Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I couldn't believe it when I saw Homebase's new tv advert last night... I really do think this is tasteless given the 'Sheds with Beds' news item this week Maybe they should consider pulling it for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chem1st Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'd rather live in a shed than a HMO. Shipping containers are an ideal way for the youth to use to house themselves, such is the state of housing in the UK. Housing benefit gravy train can't go on forever...

WallBuilder Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I saw a program about ten years ago where a clever designer had suggested using containers as the building sections for houses and he'd actually built one. Each container could be kitted out and then simply put together making a slightly zany but very comfortable dwelling. I liked the idea that the house could be enlarged easily by adding more containers or it could be dismantled and moved rather easily as well.

Tyranna Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 There is a company creating temporary 'hotels' out of prefab shipping container units, for staff for the London Olympics; I heard that one of these will be installed in Hyde Park; This is one business idea that I would invest in if I have any spare money in the future; a 'shipping container hotel' would be ideal accommodation for temporary workers on everything from research and conservation projects to construction work to seasonal agricultural work...
