Reply to comment by hotassnuts in Feds file lawsuit against Arizona over border wall made of shipping containers by AudibleNod

Lots of info out there. Shipping containers as homes are basically a pre-fab exterior frame and nothing more. They also are harder to work with since home building isn’t designed around starting with a metal container with uneven walls.

Framing a home isn’t hard or expensive.

Framing isnt hard or expensive. Information wont build a home. You need skilled labor. If Ron Swanson wants a dovetail on some 18th century crown moulding google isnt gonna cut it.

You just compared an artisan detail feature with common labor. Framing isn’t particularly “skilled”…whereas finished and custom carpentry work kinda is. So no, framing a house ISN’T hard nor expensive. Timber is also vastly more sustainable than shipping containers.
