Shipping containers (ocean freight)

[cfz2882]

Got one of these last year and delighted with it: got a used one made in 2008,and installed 120v lights and exhaust fan and about to install 12v electrical.these things are very rugged and stormproof.Building a small workshop in one end while the rest will house my antique 1917 Dodge. I got the 20 foot version,40 foot is also common.Mine was ~$2500,basicly new "one trip" was ~4500. Used a small bulldozer to flatten out an area for it in the back yard

In Denver where I work, there is a home made from shipping containers. It is very hot in there during the summer. Everything is made of metal so it feel industrial inside.

I might insulate the workshop area and install a small AC in there-the 10"exhaust fan installed probably will not keep things comfy when it is 100* there are companies that make insulating panels that fit the corrigated walls. For winter heat,will install a couple 5KW diesel fueled "parking heaters"-i have had one of these in my moon shack for a couple years and like it.Also might add a man door since the end doors are not operable from inside.
