A comma would have been helpful in my earlier post...sorry.

Hmmm.
Steel.
According to my handy little reference card that would be for year 11. 
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

So...They tried a delivery of my container today....Dang truck was 1" to wide. We are working on a plan.

I plan to do this next summer ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUMqYSOlpNg&feature=related

I will need to cut my container in half. So I need a plasma dohickey and a fork lift to shift it.

I dunno, Stinky... an attitude like that may lead some to question your gender...... but... carry on.

A girl with that much of a lust for big tools can't be all bad...... [waiting]

 ???  It's a shipping container. Ships are female. Unless they are Russian.

Stinkerbelle, I think your posted video and your project are cool and I look forward to hearing about your progress.  Empress Tin    Lady Steelia needs much work. 

Also, I think your backyard needs some chickens and a compost bin. 

StinkerBell

Oh I agree about the chickens and compost bin. I will not get any more animals until our houseis sold up in Seattle and settled. I also want a goat. but alas that will have to wait a bit.

Lady Steelia looks promising!  I liked the video, too...  watched that & then went on to watching a bunch more videos about containers...

I like it. I have a few of them and one is a high cube. I don't particularly need the higher door clearance but I like the security and the weather tight storage they provide.
I have done so much with so little for so long that today I can do almost anything with absolutely nothing.
