Default Concrete tents - easy to build they say.

Hope this isn't ot - these could be used for a garage, shop, chicken

house,
etc.


It's heartwarming that you're worried about OT posting something that
actually has to do with homes in AHR.

'Where are you going to get 145 litres in a disaster zone?' he asked.


That was my first question. My second is "how do they do the doors and
windows? My third is "I've seen this sort of thing before" in Puerto Rico,
I believe, or at least the same sort of building techniques. I recall
someone describing the difficulties involved with all concrete homes and
they were intense.

Used in places like Pakistan I'd imagine they'd become permanent slums. Way
back when (when we were still friends with Quaddaffi Duck) the company I
worked for used to ship flight simulators and spare parts in those big
Sealand containers. They would never come back because Libyans would take
them and turn them into instant houses. And we're worried about them?
