Shipping containers are depressing no matter how they are configured, stacked, and painted.

I'd like to have a couple of 20' cans at the cabin. One would be a perfect garage for a small tractor while the other would be a nice generator and storage shed.

They are super cheap, whats expensive is moving them to where you want them...they are a whole truck load

One London Place built in 1992. Tallest building in SW Ontario at 24 floors. Across the street from the London Life building built in 1874.

A little building I find pretty close to perfection, in the Grounds of Iford Manor, home of the
Peto Gardens, in Wiltshre. The manor is nice, but...I prefer this.
