    I first saw container shops in Accra, back in 1998 when i first visited Ghana. I fell in love with the concept of container living. I'm so happy to see that the concept is being developed far beyond where it was back then. It's an affordable concept that can be used all over the world.

It would be amazing to see him dragging those containers up the hill with the bulldozers . I wonder if he recorded that , lol. That sounds like it was a feat . Again , incredible work 👏 🙌 👌 ❤ 💪 😍

    1. Water, 2. Sun, 3. Wind, 4. Scorpions and snakes. Pest control. No plants for the snakes and scorpions to shade themselves from the sun. Good presentation Amoaa. Well done! And Thank you.

    You must be very careful that the containers you get have no lead paint on them, cleaning or scraping the lead off is very tricky because the lead chips, and lead dust are hazardous as well as any areas were the paint shaving's enter into the ground water. I did some work in a shipping yard and I had to wear a hazmat suite all day in 100 degree heat.

There is another group of African Archectects that use shipping containers to build both residential and commercial building projects. I forget their name, but they were featured in a RUclips as well. I forget what African country their business is located in.
