Shop in a Box

What I can do with a 20 foot shipping container. I wanted to be able to have my own little area to work on my projects and keep all my tools, welders, axles, and other auto parts. I was able to score a cheap one that had the left side door crashed in. Didnt matter, I was planning on a false wall there. I used a couple of sheets of 1/2" plywood we had laying around, threw some white paint on them, and made them my interior walls. Piped out some heavy wire to power the container. Setup a small subpanel with 2 HD lights, a couple 110 outlets and a 220 outlet. Added some windows I scored cheap and some old cabinets from a kitchen remodel to hang on the walls.
