250$ you could own a commune shack!

that is the estimated cost of a float shack

that's 4 55gallon plastic drums 15$ each = 60$

and then the other 190$ on wood/nails/etc...

it would be very basic, but it would be enough to live in

I have found lots of cheap used windows/doors online, for 400-600$ you could make something a little bit more cabin like than shack like



what do you guys think?

I would love for many many people to join me out on the water!

if you're scared of water don't be scared! we'll be close enough to easily swim to shore!

 

i wamt 100 drums. ill have a floating estate complete with wave powered electricifty

 

I was thinking 8'x8'x8' boxes made of 2"x4"x8' frame with wood particle sheets covering the walls and ceiling. a bit of paint to slow the rain damage, and a big tarp to keep the leaks out

it rarely ever drops below 0c/32f in the vancouver island small inlets so the houses won't need insulation, although it wouldn't hurt, even though a thick sweater will do just fine!

 

hehehe! I was thinking about rain powered electricity, similar to how the big wheel on the side of those old mills spins with the river although I'm not good with electronics I need some skilled people to join me!

 

sweet plan i could be down for doing this add me on skype we can talk about it a lil bit

i'm interested. Although im in australia, talking would be interesting.

 

Kind of an interesting idea. Creating your own floating islands. How are things working out for you?
