/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>58604
Even if you disregard the law, others won't. It is a bother to have others watching/coming after you.
Consider the actions of others, not just your own!

When stacked the weight is only on the edges, on the steel super-structure. When stacked they have no weight in the middle of the panels. You need to reinforce them or over time they will bow.

If you go far enough out, then you are safe. There is no central data-base for land owning in the outback of Australia. People don't really care what you do so long as it isn't on their land. I can guarantee you there is land out there that no one knows who owns or has no owner.

if you want to make them you will just use the same methods as Citadel uses in the first place...

> make a model or use an existing model (or the plastic sheet before you detach components, the name eludes me)
> make a mold
> inject plastic/resin/metal (tip; if you model it with the base attached then you can have a nice big area so you can just pour it in)

There isn't really anything more complex than that.

this.

Secondly, you only really need to learn some basic HTML, CSS and C# to build a website with all the functionality you need. Of course you can easily just have a look around for a pre-fab system (for example sites.google, or just using a Facebook page). Don't do more work than you really need to.

And finally, programming and website design are both massive disciplines that are not trivial to learn. 6 months is not enough to 'do it right', so I would consider saving yourself the trouble and using an existing system.

If you really have your heart set on diy'ing from scratch, then there are plenty of tutorials out there if you google.

I expect not all of them are insulated, but some certainly are. Besides that you can just put the insulation in yourself :)

>>40299
Insulation bro.

You know they use them to ship frozen goods etc too right? Things like insulation are pretty high on the list of priorities.

If they didn't then on the high seas all the goods would be roasted under the sun.

>>40158
This.

Please OP, just use a bandaid.

In Sweden there is a guy who does this to do something to do with monitoring the state of forests in a wide area.

Sounds amazing. I hope you can build this!

You should give it a giant skylight over the whole area (hell, if you do that you could even grow plants indoors.)
You can also stack more containers on top of the outer ring if you do end up needing more rooms.

Generally you insulate them, as with any building materials. As far as I know they are fine with insulation, and if you don't have to worry about sub-zero temperatures then you can get away with just white painted to keep off the heat.

The huge windows in OP's make an intersting challenge, but if you consider how the house is aligned (which way is north?) and what the climate is like there. If they were double/triple glazed or there was a heater in there, or you just didn't use that room when the weather was wrong then it would be fine. Also if you build it to take advantage of winter sun + summer shade, etc. Many factors to consider.

Just ignore them, they only win if you let them, hurrah!

Wood isn't as cheap or convenient to build with.

For those who don't build with containers as a 'political' statement, containers are great.

>>39435
Is that a huge open plan living area in the middle? If so I like it, but if those lines are walls then maybe not so great.

Maybe you could consider something more like this, just seemed a touch cleaner and would give it a more solid outline

>>39938
I think just the lack of paint job and finishing. It would look really nice otherwise.

MSPaint will do the job easily enough.

You could go simpler, just make a cube, column, or even just put the picture frame on the wall with a light behind it, and the translucent acrylic where the picture would go. That would actually be pretty nice, but I think you would need quite a few of them to get a decent amount of light.

>>34958
That's illegal isn't it?

If OP isn't willing to get chainmail, would he really be willing to do this?

>>35163
I agree, that is a gorgeous lamp. I wonder if you could put a series of fluorescent behind a Shōji to make a nice ambient light.

>>31350
I wonder how well air multipliers would work in this kind of application...

Hoping to learn some more 'physical' skills, since really I don't have much hardware/electronic skills.
