    Great challenge @BuildnShare. Any news on challenge #20 :)

    Ok this looks challenging.

    So I get it right in my head, I just want to confirm I have this right:
    Lot 1 you have to use 4 containers that are 4x10 squares
    Lot 2 you have to use 5 containers that are 4x10 squares
    Lot 3 you have to use 6 containers that are 4x10 squares.

    And they can be arranged however you like?

    Hmm Something new to try. I'm in :)

    I'm so looking forward to getting started.

    Just one question for the Lot 3. From memory I don't think there is a 60 x 60 but I think there is a 50 x 40 so should this size be used instead?

    Yeah we noticed that too, haven't made a formal decision yet, but I think 50x40 will indeed be the choice ;)

    Lot 2:
    5 – 4×10 shipping containers
    Lot size 40×40
    Budget: 75k
    Style: Chalet
    Interior Design: Rustic

    Either I am staring at it and not seeing it or there is no 40x40 lot. The issue with Lot 3 has been resolved...is Lot 2 a 40x30, 30x30 or is there is 40x40 that I am missing> lol :)

    Ok, I have updated the challenge briefs with the correct lot sizes. Apologies, this went up as I was getting ready to go to work :blush:

    What was the first reuse and recycle challenge number? I would like to get an idea of what the shipping container part is about.

    So how are you going to judge this? Are they going to be judged as a whole or will each lot be judged separately?

    And what is a shed house?

    @BuildnShare thank you. I had already done a google search, but it was coming up with modern builds and renovated barns to actual sheds converted into homes. I believe I have an idea of what you are asking for.
    "A sub-style of Contemporary-Modern design, Shed homes were particular favorites of architects in the 1960s and 1970s. They feature multiple single-plane roofs, often sloping in different directions, creating unique geometric shapes. Wood shingles or vertical board siding typically covers the exterior, and front doorways are recessed and downplayed. Large windows are arranged for views to the outside."

    @gmcrozier I wasn't too sure either and I was getting a lot of sheds converted into homes when searching, especially on Pintrest. So I thought of searching for 'what defines shed architecture' and eventually came across this link dnr.alaska.gov/parks/oha/styleguide/shed.htm The Primary and Secondary info boxes may be useful.

    Thanks for adding that @kezflake :)

    I have a question... Can I delete inner walls of the containers once I have placed them? For example if I put 2 side by side, can I delete the connecting wall between them?
