To set it up, the whole family had to put all hands on deck as they employed a car jack to place the house on some blocks.
They were able to stretch out the folded parts of the house. After spending hours on installation, the setup was completed.
In a subsequent video, the man revealed how much he spent for those asking him for the price of the house. He paid 20,000 AUD (GH¢43,771,436.72) for the building and the shipment was 5,000 AUD (GH¢26,349.29).

Container Houses: The New Craze for Affordable Housing Options in Ghana
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that people are looking for more sustainable and affordable ways to build houses other than the conventional brick and block buildings. Buying or building a house is one of the most expensive ventures anyone can embark on in Ghana.
The rental sector in Ghana is no less bearable. According to a report by Business Insider Africa, Accra is the second most expensive city in the world when it comes to property prices to income ratio and the first in the world.
Most landlords in Ghana usually take a year or two’s rent advance on a property. This makes it difficult for more people to rent decent places.
