Hi Martin and Edwin
Very much appreciate your talks. Although I like the idea of shipping container homes as a affordable home solution, having been involved in studies on chemicals in shipping containers, I would advise caution to workers/ DIY removing dunnage or floorboards from containers without proper ventilation or PPE, as the pores in the wood can retain chemicals from previous fumigation or being off-gassed from cargo e.g. formaldehyde. Knocking the wood could potentially cause a sudden high release of these chemicals. Unfortunately, there has not been a lot of investigation into this area of research and it is not clear whether the containers used were specifically constructed to build homes or been previously used for shipping.

Hey Martin, we have freedom rallies here in australia. The chinese people are doing the same. Only difference is that no one is reporting on the australian rallies.

So instead of living in a tiny Sydney sh!tb0x, one would be living in a tiny ship-box.

Here's a question for Parliamentarians to ask of the Minister responsible Centrelink:
"For all those receiving Rent Assistance from Centrelink, based on rent agreements/ other proof provided to qualify for this assistance, what are the numbers and percentage of recipients whose reported rent accounts for:
1) less than 30% of their total Centrelink payment;
2) 30-50%;
3) 50-70%;
3) over 70%?
How many of those who report paying over 50% of their toal benefit on rent were reviewed since 2020?"

Hey ranters!

The Hub of this economic wheel is driven by Real Estate owner developers.
You say what is wrong with that.
I say everything we find in our economy now is due to all this.

Tradespeople are sick of trying to compete with sub standard Tradesmen and women who will work for the lowest price.
This is also the reason we are short of trade skills and have to look for immigration to solve shortages all caused by the greedy owner developers wanting to tart the place up. City you brought this on yourselves deal with it.

4 Shipping containers do actually make good emergency homes if insulated properly

Thank you for keeping us up to date gentlemen 👍

Thanks guys great show like always 🙏😀👍

they have had tanks out against protesters

Houses are longer on the market and vendors needing to discount.

The home I recently sold was a potential development site and I had a real estate agent scaring away buyers so it could be sold to the developer at a lower price. I actually heard testimonies from people who put in offers than were never presented to me. Be careful out there, especially if the agent says "we have a developer interested in your property".

That's why we bought in the blue mountains over 10 years ago. I had a gut feeling that flooding was coming in our lifetime.

A mini home including food with all the human body parts!

If Edwin was referring to Foxcon it's a self contained city of 230,000.00 people. 6min in. 18 min 30 I have been banging on about container houses since pre pandemic. Best part is you can have the last year Tafe students doing the plumbing, electrical, plastering etc as part of their final year exams the state / territory govt gets access to a cheap housing structure and should you look on line there are many hotels, student accommodation, built from shipping containers.

How very generous of Martin to share his experience of taking a big loss on his property sale leaving England.

He certainly traded up coming to Australia.

Re the misleading from the RBA re interest rate adjustment = todays apology, I’m surprised they re. apologetic.
Consolation prize 🔱

Agents are def talking the prices of realestate down. But then reporting good clearance rates. And achieving good prices. Just seems the time to sell the house or unit is taking a few extra days

I was expecting 3 X 🛑🛑🛑

Onya Edwin 👍

The grass is greener in Qatar.

Good show guys, I love it 😘

I got out of a work lift in Sydney once, unloaded packs of insulation on floor 18 after hearing yelling help. It was a non English Asian fella who was not strong enough to save himself!

Foolsball ?.
