[Shop-talk] Modifying a sea-container

[Matt]

We import so much stuff from overseas, these containers are becoming a common
building material around here.I have marveled at some of the adhoc engineering
I have seen.  Very common around here in the woods to find shopsassembled out
of several of these with some manner of roof over a few of them.  There was a
viral email going around where someone had constructed a quite nice abode out
of a few.  It was half buried and well insulated with spray foam. I saw an
elaborate firefighting training tower recently (near some airport I flew into,
can't recall where) but I bet it wasmuch cheaper using the containers than
building from scratch. Weld it up, paint it, it will be fine. Matt

secured to the side of the container.
