gtblum Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 According to the 89 year young owner of this luxurious Lake Ontario cottage, the original structure is a left over crate built for shipping gliders to England during WWII.

Marc Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Looks like sort of a narrow, 'shotgun' style house. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emalernee Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 My Wife's Grandfather built his house out of packing crates from the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co of Akron, Ohio just after WWII. The basement has a forest of 2" pipes to hold up all the joints in the 2X6 joists. When my Father-in-Law came back from Japan with a very sick wife and two babies (My wife being one of them), Grandpa turned the donkey shed into a two room house that grew over the years to include indoor plumbing and 3 bedrooms. I believe both house were built without benefit of a level or plum bob, but both are still standing. Ezra Malernee Canton, Ohio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
