The house can be for emergencies, transitional, or permanent dwellings. The house can be built with available materials and unskilled labor in a short time. It slides on gravel during earthquakes and is tied down to anchors via cable to protect it from winds. It can be built from 1. rebar and sheet metal, 2. scrap lumber and 1X6s, or 3. basket material like bamboo, limbs, etc. It can be built on two runners for easier mobility and can be stacked like logs to form an apartment complex.
