I guess he is the front-runner.
“..1022 square feet, equipped with four bedrooms and a large central living area.” ???
The house itself is not that expensive, but where they really get you is on the price of replacement cartridges
$239k for a 1022 sf house doesn’t sound like that great of a bargain.
238,792 for a 1000 square feet? Seriously? That’s a bit steep.
‘’Despite the generous size of the house’
I lived in Britain. Americans have no idea of the size of house that most Europeans live in. Our house was 730 sq ft........larger than my SIL’s house and she had two kids. My in-law’s home was about 1200 sq ft and it was considered large.
Your most honorable Nullness, where are you?
As someone asked, how did it go from bumpy foam walls to smooth walls? They didn't show that. They didn't show how the roof appeared. Way too many details left out of the article and the video.
Oh, yeah. It is a very blah, cheap looking house. Just what Europe deserves. They can crank out tons of them to house their illegal immigrants.
““..1022 square feet, equipped with four bedrooms and a large central living area.””
Basically a large trailer.
How do you say “Gay” in French?
The 3d thing in so many cases is just a click bait story line...
I hate to bring bad news but two of those trees are going to lift the slab and break it.
WTF do they think they’re doing?
$239k for 1022 sq ft is all you get when you’ve given over all your housing stock and building land to immigrants. And this for one “lucky family”.
4 bedrooms in 1000 Square feet and it’s generous?
I sat in a presentation last year by a guy who talked about the future of housing, especially factory built housing. The entire building materials industry is changing rapidly.
These newer factory built companies are as he described, “digital companies who build houses” A lot of them aren’t construction guys but tech guys who think they see a better way.
There’s a new company in Baltimore, Blueprint Robotics. It’s amazing how they use robotic technologies to build the housing components that are basically snap together in the field. I’ve only been in their factory a couple times and may still be under a non-disclosure so I wont’ say more than is publicly known but it’s really cool.
There are other companies that manufacture bricks. Sounds kind of boring. Bricks are obviously heavy so transportation is a huge expense. What if the bricks were cultured from a bacteria and built in a trailer on site at a housing complex? It’s actually happening.
I’m on an advisory council for a building material installation training organization. We’re re-writing the training manual. One of my edit suggestions said that we need to include X, Y and Z, brand new building envelope technologies that are regional and moving nationwide fast. The industry can’t keep up with the speed of technology. The challenge is getting builders to adopt. Many are used to doing what they do and frankly, too busy to take the time to learn new techniques and products.
Those are the guys who are going to get left behind as the trade speeds by them like Dale Earnhardt. (Yea, I used an old legend because there are no drivers who are total household names right now)
