I want to add on to my home using trash. (Recyclables). Any tips?
I want to add to the house through our back door. Just an extra room. I save tin cans, plastic food containers, wire, and some cardboard from boxes. I have seen this done but it was on a brick house and the house was on the ground. I live in a Mobil home. Any advice? Do you think this would be good or just a waist of time. I have some pretty good ideas. I just need some feedback.

What do your town/county building codes say??
It kinda depends on what your city will allow. There are many houses that are build using recycled 2 litre soda or wine bottles, tires and earth (earthships). YouTube is a wealth of alternative buildings..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdbUO5WxS6c

I have seen people make houses from shipping containers, recycled grain elevators, yurts, caves.
