[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3601794, member: 26737"] There's a military surplus auction site that sells the military's cast-offs, and some of their containers were pretty nice when I last looked--they had some that had A/C, and some were even set up as offices with doors and windows. I think it was posted here, but I'm not certain about that. Unfortunately, the closest auction locations I recall seeing were in Texas, so getting them transported would be the trick. FWIW, my brother had one for a little while when they bought the place where they now live. IIRC, it was white, and it wasn't exceptionally hot in the summer, but what they stored in it wasn't overly heat sensitive (mostly supplies for making the house livable; it had been abandoned for a few years, and was overrun with rodents). I wouldn't want to be stuck in there with the doors closed, though. A friend of mine built a workshop/storage facility out of two containers joined by a roof. He seemed to be happy with it, but he's also in Colorado, so the weather's a mite different. [/QUOTE]
