I know of a family who built a straw bale house. Never did hear how they liked it. Lot of info online I think. I have heard of bamboo blinds from china with termites in them, but that was 40 years ago at least. Most things might be already fumigated these days, but whether the crates themselves are also fumigated?

You may want to fumigate the Chinese shipping crates before using to get
rid of possible pests...

Also, check out "papercrete" and "padobe", "rammed earth" and "cob".
Lots of interesting ways to build a house, depending on where you want
to live, and some are very cheap but labor intensive.
