Have You Noticed the Trend

Initially the rich built big houses,
The poor whatever they afford.
Materials differ in both cases
Completing the project made a 
difference too!

But today's wise women took charge of that,
Building liberally what they could afford.
Using materials, man-power too,
These wise women went the metallic way!

Though this in not for everyone,
It proudly shows how some liberated women,
Refused to sit and let time go by!

Don't call them rich, don't call them poor;
The term should be "Women Liberated",
Especially if they live alone!

And so now view these metal cans,
As well adorned shipping containers too,
I couldn't help but share them with you!

An astute observation, my friend! It never ceases to amaze me how people can adapt to so many different places and structures when finding some place to live. My best wishes and regards, Rainbow. :) john

What a great imagination for some folks to use what would be recycled or leave to rust! Research showed that with good maintenance, shipping containers last for up to 20 years! This trend should not compete with developers, for these people cannot Afford you!

Many uses are now being for recycled items, check out toilet paper - softer than great-grand ma and grand pa - they had to "wet" theirs.
