A container workshop...my dream space!

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 cool 'Welcome Hut'...

A group of 50 shipping containers in Cholula, Mexico, was repurposed to house cafes, bars, and retail stores.

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!
