Are Container Houses a Viable Option? We’ve all seen container houses on various TV shows and if you’re anything like me probably thought “what a perfect solution, cheap and quick to build!”

Are Container Houses a Viable Option?

So what are they really like and what are the potential problems with container homes? Without wanting to state the obvious, container houses are typically made up from one or more shipping containers joined together and typically (but not always) disguised to look like a normal home. The containers are made from corrugated steel boxes that have very strong vertical box section at the corners and around the edges. The reason they’re built like this is so that they can be stacked on the boats up to 7 or 8 containers high, without deforming. They do this by transferring the weight through the strong vertical box sections in their corners and therein lies their beauty and the inherent difficulties when trying to convert them into a home.

Midges and mosquitos can turn a lovely evening socialising in the garden or a BBQ into an irritating nightmare.

How To Use Garden Plants To Deter Midges And Mosquitos

The little blighters get up your nose; both literally and metaphorically, into your food and seem to delight in taking swimming lessons in your drink. You can slather yourself in insect repellent, but not everyone is keen on covering themselves in chemicals. You can burn the natural citronella candles or a pyrethrum based repellent coil. One way to cut down on these pests is to make sure you don’t have stagnant standing water in the garden; make sure the bird bath is kept clear of algae and the water changed every couple of days and make sure the pond has a pump to keep the water moving.

Some countries are not trading goods with other countries as much as they used to, the UK being a prime example of this.

Somewhere to place your belongings, in a space functional for your lifestyle. Many people, however, also look out for good design, a particular modern feeling, or special qualities in materials and space. Generally, though, the majority of people don't have a proper notion of these things. They appreciate what is there if it feels right, but are not interested in what lies behind the white wall, what makes the light come in an attractive and functional way, of why the room feels warm and airy at the same time.

Living space should also contain these qualities when there is nothing in it: a mattress on the floor , one chair and a table should be all you need to feel at home. If you are bulding a house, the site is important, as is the local climate, the people and their culture. 96 % of all housing in Norway is built in wood.
