China is selling full prefab houses through Amazon that fit in a shipping container.

We used to do that as a major neighborhood filling item- catalog houses.
en.wikipedia.orgYeah, those were kits though. These things are prefab complete houses. A semi pulls up to your lot, you pull the house out of the container, unfold it and you are done. Saw a video of a dude doing that and it was kind of shoddy TBH. Joints weren't sealed right so he was calking everything.
We looked at them last year as an option to quickly and cheaply put a place we could live in on our land. I was emailing back and forth with one manufacturer. The next step would have been me flying out to China to look at some examples and check the quality of the work (photos gave off a strong 'plastic' vibe). I wasn't working though and didn't want to further eat into our savings at the time so we put it off.

So your wife vetoed your offer to hand build it?
Yeah, she mentioned something about a roof being necessary.
That woman is never satisfied.

I think you stopped your career too soon. There are millions of people online watching porn, and millions watching people build things. And millions of girls almost-undressing themselves, but as far as I know, the number of people almost-building something is 0 or around. You could have been the first true original almost-builder.
Nah, it's fine. You know she'd find it funny. Just like Peggy is a way better woman than I may sometimes paint her here for the sake of bad jokes, but she's got a great humour so she wouldn't bother.

Brick company propaganda. The right wolf solution is a shotgun.
I dig this attitude

Dude, the almost builder channel would rack in millions of viewers! The comments section would be filled with foaming rage because it was left as is.
“Fuck you, Hog! I’ve been hitting F5 for a week waiting for an update on your roof. Finish it!”
Do an update video 6 months later explaining why you couldn’t finish it, but promise you will.
Start another project and act like the other never existed. Almost build that one. Rinse, repeat.
Gorilla marketing to 11ty billion views.

If you want that kind of entertainment you should join Star Citizen.

Is that shit still in beta or did he scrap it and go back to alpha? I should still have a ship.
How are people still dumping money into that game.
@Lithusaidin@LithuHow are people still dumping money into that game.
No idea. CIG really has them hooked on buying ships. I guess it's a good model because you can play the game and some ships improve that gameplay so there is always an incentive to buy new ones for people that don't want to play thousands of hours to earn them. They also hang the "we will wipe before the live game is launched" thing over their head, so their progress starts over if they don't own the ships.

Exactly proves the business model of never finish.
The old forum that came with the game was full of those kinds of hopeful expectations.
