Be honest and why /diy/

>>2989605
Im sure there must be some reason it wouldnt work other than floods or safety but I've always thought the idea of burying a trailer or shed ubderground and having a hatch on the roof to get in and out would be pretty sick
>>
>>2989632
Weight of the dirt pushing onto the walls from the side is too much to bear unless you build something way more tough than a shed. That's usually what fucks these up.
It is a cool idea though. I would also like an underground space, were it feasible.

>>2989605
Manufactured homes from factories were amazing but the zoning laws are so cucked in the USA that it's physically impossible to comply with them.
>>
Containers will always be the best.
For like 2k delivered you just immediately have the bare essentials for occupancy.
4 walls, a roof, a floor, rodent and wind elimination.
Depending on the situation, you can just set up a cot and immediately start living in it as you build the rest. It's harder to build one out, often requiring a welder and expensive ish materials, but the value is the immediate structure.

Hyper/superadobe dome.
-Large amount of thermal mass
-Exceptional noise insulation
-Exceptional at resisting the elements
-Cheap
-Fast
-Local
-Comparatively clean & low noise process

The ugly part is air circulation and just how many problems cutting into it brings in.

stair case storage.
more distance from neighbors.

That's the thing, the smaller the space no matter what, you are always going to have a much reduced natural anything.
So it more becomes that unless you live in like the perfect most climate, you will always have to micromanage your living space with various equipment, humidifier, dehumidifiers mostly, ac, heat, air intake and exhaust fans.
If your square footage is less than 200, you absolutely need forced air circulation and you just have to deal with full climate correction.
Like there is not enough air volume inside to disapate your humid breath and co2 production, you have to force it.
Sure containers amplify the need at first but whatever.

Yes, cutting into it requires a welder. I did a door in mine and it wasn't that bad just stitch weld a steel frame in and caulk over it with window weld. Kinda the same way with windows or anything else really, either weld in and seal properly or for wiring pass through, glue on a junction box and do the pass through with at most 2in holes

No clear criteria for "adobe" clay, too soft to bond with steel or FRP reinforcement, huge mass creates huge seismic forces, subject to vermin tunnels, stinks, not water resistant

I wanted a shipping container house ever since I saw tron legacy
>>
>>2989605
Tiny houses have always been stupid. It was under the guise of cheap material (which isnt cheap after covid) and cheap decent land (which didnt even exist 15 year ago and certainly doesnt exist now)

There is a reason everyone actually built and live in vandwelling vans.
If you got cheap land, just drag a cheap mobile home onto it. People give them away for free
>>
>>2989605
A thatch and dob cabin would be pretty nice imo, but I doubt that many people have the knowledge and time to make one, especially is you also make the thatched roof. So a sandwich panel house would probably be way faster to make.

Honestly RVs or boats are best because you can just move them, cities will fuck your cuck shed up.

>>2995136
I don't get the appeal of instantly deploying something that's supposed to stay in the same place for decades. Are you building a trench line in Ukraine or something?

What if I have cheap land but the land is cheap because the road to is so completely fucked that only a subcompact sedan can maneuver the narrow and crumbling road (1 mi of this)?

I’m making a “sardine can” 24 sqft shed, wattle and daub walls, timber framed (barely), but for the roof I got a froe at an auction and made awful but functional wooden shingles. There’s some felt underlayment under the shingles. It does better than I thought it would.

>>2990200
With the breathability/humidity issue you're probably better off buying a prefab garden shed to live in

I don't get why you need a permanent structure. You can adjust a tent and if there's a tornado you move or abandon it. You can have it with reflective coatings in the summer and black in the winter if you want to stay for the winter.
>>2993281
That and bus conversions. I like the tiny homes because they're interesting, less to clean, and can be more smart and you do more with less. Id love to just hoe up a trench and do cheap radiative cooling on a small space too. Bigger means more issues, smaller means everything is easier unless it's really fucked, then 100% is dead.

Smoking is a good use over a smokehouse but not over a canvas vs hours of peeling trees.
>>
>>2998564
That would be a waste of canvas. After the harvest you reduce the bloodstained bark to ash and move on to the next ambush point.

You're killing trees by skinning them alive wasting hours doing so, then trying to turn wet bark into ash and you're getting worried about wasting mass produced canvas?

Loved that housing setup.but it turns out shipping containers are incredible unsuitable for housing.
