Do any of you guys now of an alternative for modern housing? I was thinking of something like a steel home kit and finish it ourselves.
Thanks Moparts for any advice!


You sound like a creative thinker.. Have you surfed around for houses built using steel shipping containers? There are a whole slew of interesting solutions people have come up with to create some amazing homes with them.
They are readily available, so the raw boxes aren't suffering from the whole global supply chain crisis..
The supplies you need to fit them out might still be a problem, but that's the current norm with any construction.
