That guy must be strong as f**k putting that on there on his own .......

Ventilation is also vital. I work on a lot of bizarre building projects, everything from shepherds huts to timber frame barns to Nissen huts to silo conversions. Steel buildings aren't bad t

I think they’re f***ing awesome, I really do. Especially the raised ones.

You would be very surprised what you could build for round the 10k mark, I worked on the vandal proof site offices for a while which are basically shipping containers and they are hand enough done.

My plan is, if it goes this way that is, to get said container, and fit it out on the inside first. Most if not all I can do myself. 

Then concentrate on the outside look

Could you not just get a cheap static caravan then all you gotta do is connect it up?

That has been suggested as well.

Going to look into all possibilities

You see some really cheap statics for sale, some of the sites near here make you replace your van after so many years so the old ones are practically given away.

The only issiue I'd have with that is size, for long term living quarters

Statics would be bigger than a container

I just coped on. What some mean by static, we call mobile homes., I thought caravan, as in you pull behind the car for hoildays, sorry, slow on the uptake ??????

Yes it it's on the table for discussion here, personally I don't like them, but that's just me, I'd prefer the container.
