No no - concrete free construction (!)

I don't like concrete all that much. It is quite expensive especially when reinforced and a pain in the backside at the end of life. I reckon even in the future people will be happy to come and collect nearly three tons of steel if I / next owner don't / doesn't want it any more.

(Also) Cos I'm on the edge of an earthquake region I want something that is more like an ISO / shipping container so I can jack the thing back level in the event of the dreadful...
