Saw the picture you sent Steve, glad you got it. That's nice. For some reason I couldn't send a reply back.

It was a very fun weekend.  Got it placed properly and all that really has to be done is the hurricane rated strapping system that gets screwed into the ground.
Started in with some shelving inside and getting some things painted over the weekend.  The room will get eaten up quickly, so I'll be picky with organization.  More to come...

Maybe that will be the name of it...The Flamingo Inn.  Ha!

I have a quick question - won't that get REAL HOT during the Summer ? Hope You have AC in the plans. Being an old Truck driver - I know how hot trailers can get in the Sun. Bob

It does get hot but I've got a torch and my buddy is a builder keeping an eye out for an external door that I will install  so that I don't have to always open the big double latching freight doors.  Definitely will install a window, ventilation, a basic dehimidifer maybe and an a/c unit for sure.  I'm going to plant some contained bamboo clumps that will quickly grow to shade it out, also.

We use one of these at work for paint storage. As per OSHA  >:( regulations it has to be ventilated and such. We took Styrofoam insulation and insulated half of it on the inside, and built a wall and door in the middle. It stays about 60 in there year round (heated in the winter). It is on the West side of our truck shed, so it is in full sun most of the afternoon and evening. I have thought about buying 4 of these to make a cabin.

I read a while ago about some guys who got a bunch of these together, outfitted each as a mini-metal shop. Mill, lathe, break, bandsaw. Sent them to Africa so communities could build sugar boilers or some damn thing. Always was trying to think of something similar to do, drop in shop for someone building a home, or some such. I think it will make a neat shop.

I guy I grew up with down here has a Business that makes these into portable office buildings that are delivered to Construction sites. Fully wired for phone, computer and A/C. He just started building some with kitchens, bathrooms, for two room houses/cabins. From the story in the paper his business is doing real well.
