Good afternoon.
I'm asking for help improving the sustainable thermal insulation in my shipping container home. The house needs a roof and a hood on the outside, as the interior is already insulated with rock wool and plasterboard.

The idea is to buy the necessary materials and do it myself. The necessary materials will be Styrofoam mesh and mortar, and sandwich panels for the roof. Any help is welcome, I'm very grateful. As I mentioned, I've been building the house for a few months, but with winter approaching, the house really needs a sandwich roof and an exterior hood to maintain a more stable temperature inside. I'm also concerned about my mother's health and her comfort. And so we don't have to turn on heaters or anything like that, which saves energy and provides sustainable insulation.

About the author

Hi, my name is Paulo Lopes. I've always dreamed of building a house in a shipping container. Since I recently separated and moved to another city, I invited my mother to live with me, as she's 72 and needs support. Since I couldn't find a place to live and had some savings, I decided to get started and not depend on the government or support, which is always slow to arrive. And I came first.

I have a degree in cooking, but I'm currently unemployed, so I'm asking for this crowdfunding support. The house was built entirely by me with the help of my mother, but the budget ran out. Now that winter is here, I've noticed it really needs that extra insulation. I'm currently looking for work, but if I can afford the materials, I'll continue building and insulating the house myself.

 

Budget and due dates

The cover costs €1500 Sandwich panel

the hood already with styrofoam, net and mortar €450
