I would love to see if we could put a container in our back yard and create a workshop/storage space with it. Have you seen what they do with these now? It is amazing, and from what I read it takes 95% less energy and resources to repurpose one of these into a home than to melt it down for new use.
Here are just a couple of ideas I saw:
as a workshop...

as a cool 'Welcome Hut'...

and the coolest homes...

So if you live in Lancaster City and you see some big rig delivering a shipping container with a lovely worn patina to my yard feel free to drop in and offer decorating suggestions, or just see what we do ;o)
keep dreaming!
