Container Apartments - UWI

[xtech]

its alot of work to convert the steel containers...............and still make sure they dont crumple under the stacked weight as they age and good luck keeping those steel boxes cool in our climate. One black out an every man jack outside sleeping in the parking lot.

The guy had checked me out for some ready to use prefab containers and it would have only taken 1 month to assemble all.



but I guess at the last minute he figured he think he can do it better himself.

Well there's shipping and storage costs for containers, sheit adds up yo!
But these are only for female tenants, the penistainers should be here by next year.

Um, offshore acomodations are made of containers and are quite comfortable and spacious. I don't see a problem with this, but the room has to be properly airconditioned. A toilet/bath will fit there without any problems. The only problem I see is if the person had no approval for building of the structure, and no plans, but since when that has stopped a trini?

ppl who talking about the price, what is the current cost of off-campus accommodation in that area?

[noshownogo]

[hustla_ambition101]

a good off campus apartment will out you around 4500 furnished

[ronsin1]

I will buy a car and traverse the road San Fernando to St. Augustine before I rent an apartment for that price.

I mean nothing wrong with renting an apartment near to UWI but at those prices I could invest it into a vehicle and that will become an asset, Instead of spending that money and have nothing at the end of the term!!!!
