Container housing in your back yard - or in this case our front
yard - courtesy of the reality TV industry is not what we expected
a couple of weeks ago. So we kept a close and careful eye on what
they were up to on our beautiful sunny patch of Sydney.
Five twenty foot containers arrived and were landed on wooden
bites and then left for the weekend. The erection team, after
thorough investigation, revealed that the boxes were to be
transformed by a group of couples under the careful supervision of
professional designers and tradesmen.
Great idea and terrific exposure for container housing.
We shan't spoil it for those of you who enjoy the reality of
people doing such things and we won't comment on the results (or
show you the ending) but here are some photos...
Our only comment.... and the reality shot that will probably get
edited out of the show...
Just remember - this is a sustainable exercise and factory
production reduces waste, time and cost.
What we wanted to do was show the producers what Quicksmart
could have put together out of the type and amount of waste
materials in the skips (and we counted about 5 - one per
house).
Still, eggs and omelettes and from what we could see at our
excellent local cafe/eatery the TV industry knows how to spend
those advertising dollars.
Building without a budget - still a dream in the real world -
but that's entertainment.
