Berkeley man makes a (really rather nice) dumpster home
 Gregory Kloehn lives in central Berkeley and he makes things for a living. His latest creation may be his most inventive yet, for Kloehn has fabricated a home out of a dumpster -- yes, your regular dumpster, known primarily as a receptacle for trash.

------

Kloehn says he decided to take on this remarkable feat of engineering and design while working on a shipping container home. "I would look over the fence at a dumpster and think that it looked like a little house," he says.

2. Sort of an upscale home for Oscar the Grouch. n/t

No word about if it comes with a hood ornament.

So there you have it. The liberals have finally established the standard of living by which they will cease to condemn you for your extravagant consumerism and admit you have achieved their ideal socio-economic status.

Cleaner and probably smells better than some of the DUers' homes, based on pictures they post and their complaints about rodent and insect infestations.

If you watch the video, it isn't even done well enough to be interesting from an architectural standpoint.  It looks like a piece of crap.

What would you put a dumpster in to throw it out?

I did, and it seems to me this dude is "several bricks short of a full load".  From the comments I read after it, several other people have the same thought.     :mental:

Hell, my son's pop-up camper is nicer than that, and my 26ft. travel trailer would be considered a luxury condo, with more room to boot.

I actually support this guy.  I think, instead of building multi-billion dollars worth of housing projects, we just put welfare recipients in these.  10 or 12 gauge steel, they're stackable, can't be torn up as easy as sheetrock by ingrate welfare recipients...  you could put the entire Democrat base in these, stack them 10 high, and fit them all into the state of Rhode Island.   Just imagine, 1 blue state, 49 red states.  Heaven.
