containers. They sound like a great idea and they don't use up new wood.

And those tiny green cabins, (or one of the links) started at $35,000 and this Occupy home was built for $3,000.

I guess that is the difference between looking for a profit and just helping someone.

I would love to get involved in making these or something for our homeless population. We have a lot here in Florida probably because of the weather.
