Recycled building materials are not always acceptable for every building project, however, I find the prospect and art of building with salvaged materials invigorating and fun. I love the idea of shipping container housing, my workshed (where I am typing this) is a recycled materials building. You might think less about the recycled materials house, and its ok if you point and laugh, as long as you take a look.
