For housing I like the yurt idea because it is mostly termite proof- but also portable- if the lava comes. Two big considerations here. If you built the bottem out of ferrocement- it should also be earthquakeproof. For storage, yes, agreed- shipping container it may be. When I started the thread, I had no idea that I was going to go and buy a house within one day. The tenants in the house have not even been notified yet that their house is sold. (or possibly even for sale). They have a disconnected phone, and have the wrong house number on the exterior of the house. It looks to me like multiple people/families could be living there with dogs. They have been there for 10 yrs with no termite treatments or maintanance that I know of. This should be very interesting once I get inside and see what I bought!
