You could still build a strong structural steel, timber or concrete building that just uses piers and suspended floors and totally minimises excavation so that if the concrete piers in the ground were ground back to below natural ground level, it would take nature very little time for vegetation to grow back and cover the piersQuote:

They are using old containers at the Vic Markets now. They look very good.
Just ise old reefer containers minus the fridges.

HERE is an example of a 40 f refrigerated container
Also there are available SS refrigerated containers with the unit in working order for $12000
Reefers generally stink though! I don't think you'd want to live in one... you can get freezer levels of cold though!Quote:
