Work, cars, project dreams, the usual. I have been having very strong aspirations lately of building my own home. After research the most affordable and environmentally friendly way to build a structure these days is to use recycled shipping containers. While they don't have the asthetics of a traditional home, they can have a nice modernist appearance is done correctly.
The US imports 3.5 million more of these every year than we export back out. I have found them locally for about $1600 each. They are 8x40 , 320sq feet each. The first picture showing a 4 container arrangement would provide for a comfortable 2 bedroom two story. I am working with a friend in architecture on possible floorplans and other construction ideas.
