  2. And you have to have the land to build it on which here probably costs as much as a normal house. Still – pretty cool and even with the cost to build, insulate, plumbing and electric would be a lot less than buying or building a regular house if you have the land.

  4. I’m pretty sure the $75 only covers the designs for the home, and materials have to be purchased separately. This article gives the idea that $75 will cover all materials and instructions needed to build the house, but the designer’s website explains that materials needed are listed in the plans and are easily attainable around the world. Still an amazing concept.

  8. Yeah the title is a little misleading but it’s a very cool concept 🙂 I wish to build something like this or something made out of shipping containers someday. I own an extra lot next to my house 🙂

  10. You might want to correct your statement that its made with “Only” Pallets as well. Unless you can prove to me that the pluming, electrics and glass windows were all made out of wood, that is a lie as well.

  12. There are some local businesses that just throw their pallets away. It might take a few months of collecting the pallets and having some sort of outhouse and no electricity but it could possibly be done for at least under $200
