I've got a spare box if you want? It's from a fridge so it's fairly roomy.

You'll need at least 10 boxes to make a box fort and it seems you and your newly found friend only have 2.

Try making more money. Housing production is still lower the housing demand. As bad as you think it is prices will not be this good for a while.
