Container vs traditional cost per Sq Ft

[kalakoa]

I keep thinking "container as anchor for lanai" would make an excellent "instant home" for a lava evacuee. Same configuration would also make an excellent home for high-risk lava zones: bedroom/office in the container, which also provides storage -- if disaster strikes, load up the container and sacrifice the lanai, you're evacuated in a few hours, and you still have somewhere to sleep.

Of course, such "innovation" would "cheat" the poor contractors out of months of work, so it will never fly...
