Plus the whole finding someone to engineer you a set of plans to bring to the city for permitting will be difficult if u go the container route. If u didn't care what tge inside looked like u could not frame/ Rock interior walls u could just coat tge inside of the container with 2" of CLOSED cell foam and run all electric through conduit that would be visible..... I don't think your wife would approve of this route though!

I was thiking the same thing. We use these at yard offices at work and they look like crap on the inside unfinished. They do have wood floors that may be able to be sanded out and maybe a light stain.
