How cheap and angry to build a house out of nothing

From our video selection you will learn how to build a roof over your head if fate one day plays a cruel joke with you and leaves you with nothing.

It's good when everything is fine, well, or okay. You live your life: weekends with friends and family, weekdays - with work and news. You watch a war going on somewhere, and people migrate in search of a peaceful sky. Or a cataclysm of unprecedented force turns districts and even cities into ruins and ashes, and newly made homeless people suffer from despair. It's good when everything is fine, well, or okay.

And if so, enjoy an unusual view - a house whose walls are made of solid bottles. Sunny weather, multi-colored glass and a little thoughtful design give an interesting result. Some of the “bricks” are filled with non-freezing liquid for a better light effect.

Of course, this is a purely decorative option, on which the Americans worked for beauty's sake. Surely hired labor was used, and in some places containers from expensive intoxicating drinks were used, which were hardly heard of in the poor regions of Nigeria. They also adapted to build from bottles, but glass was replaced with plastic.

As noted in the report, such a house will be able to cope with an earthquake, and its cost is three times lower than the average market price. And no wonder, because the main building material is lying on the streets and landfills. A similar fate usually awaits old car tires, although you can build your own corner from them.

Ghanaian builders "take off shoes" 150 cars and lay out the walls of the future dwelling from the tires obtained. The bottom row is concreted, and all the rest are filled with various debris and sand. The interior decoration is not rich, but practical: it protects against steel threads. Over the exterior, the owners themselves should patronize, planting flowers inside the tires. Significantly, the combination of rubber and earth gives the coveted African coolness.

The heroes of the next video, on the contrary, are chasing heat and are built from bags full of sand.

A couple of people, under the strict guidance of a four-legged foreman, erected a structure in two months, in which one can spend the winter even in Alaska. The demonstration video received a good number of views. And all because he demonstrates without staging how, without special building skills and with a limited budget and tight deadlines, you can acquire four walls and a roof over your head.

Too harsh?
