This is cool, and “Holy crap, rednecks!!” at the same time:
Who’s going to model it? Raise your hand!
Now, that would make for a great Motel on a model railroad…
Where’s the garden railroad?
Nice mid rise condo 
Two weekends ago on Sunday I parked the RV in the front yard close to the house so I could do some maintenance on the parking pad out back. Last weekend one of the guys from the homeowner’s association comes by on his golf cart and asks if I’m adding on to the house. I told him we had planned to build a blue poly-tarp breezeway between the front door of the house and the door on the RV. I’m not sure he knew I was kidding
Hillbilly Highrise I think all those trailers just ended up there after the last flood, and they owners just simply moved back in. Either that or one of the clan visited Montreal and saw the Moshe Safdie’s “Habitat” housing development and thought “Hell, we’kin do dat!”

I wouldn’t kid with the Homeowners association.The horror stories I’ve heard!

I lived in an Association for about 5 years. Never again! I had to get myself elected to the Board just to protect my interests. I then was elected President of the Board, and used that position to quell some of the more “enthusiastic” board members. You know the kind, the ones that know better than you and I, the kind that measure their accomplishments not by what they have accomplished, but by their “intentions.”
It was fun to be able to say, “No.”
I thought sure someone was going to claim that as the Arkansas log cabin where Bill Clinton was hatched and raised.
Home Owner’s Associations are good reasons for gun control. We have a City Council that is almost as bad, but there is a natural checks and balances system. It resides with the cemetaries over looking the lake on the north side of town.
There is nothing wrong in a small town or community that 15 good funerals can’t resolve. 
I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it. -Mark Twain-
Who wants a doublewide, I want a trailer park with a penthouse!

Well, as home owner’s associations go, this ones a gem. We’ve been here 18 years. 10 as renters and 8 as owners. There are rarely any problems with anyone in our nice little private community of 85 lake community houses. Just like in the hills, we have lots of in-breeding within the community. At one time my parents in-law and brother in-law and his family both lived here in separate houses. My brother in-law married the girl down the street. Lots of similar stories in the neighborhood. My across the street neighbor has been there since his parents built the house in the 1930’s. And yes, if you want to get something done you get elected to the board and do it.
That’s some pretty damn good redneck engineering!!
Wouldn’t have been built around here with our zoning codes though
Dont know if anyones noticed what them trailers are perched on…upended shipping containers!
Sure noticed that, really solid engineering! Wonder how the anchored the containers into the ground? Tent pegs? 
I’ve got my Red Neck, White Sox and Blue Ribbon Bheer.
I just assumed the ““Shipping containers”” were the garages…
Shipping container housing is pretty common, actually. They’re a one-way heavy-duty box, so you end up with a LOT of them with no place to go. They’re sturdy, and easily modified.

Lots more google links, too.
Actually they’re not one way. They’re used over and over and get pretty beat up by the time they’re discarded.
There’s a place in South Carolina that makes them into transportable office space, the kind you see on construction sites.
Down on the waterfront I’ve seen them stacked as high as 6 containers. Very impressive watching them being off-loaded off the ships.
Yea, I was thinking one-way as in “We dont send empties back to China”, but we do run them around a lot.
A quick google shows a standard 45 foot container, used, sells for about $2500. Thats about 350 square feet of space. Insulated ones are a bit more.
