good used cargo containers are all the rage in some parts of the country. here, some are turned into office spaces being either stacked up, or side by side.
but the cost of the container, trucking to the location, and remodeling to code can be expensive as well.
here where i live, we have the old Naval Air and shipyard base........Quonset Point, where they were designed and built
very simple structure indeed, and efficient.
might actually be cheaper than a cargo container, as it'll most likely be shipped in kit form
Where were Quonset huts invented?
Rhode Island
Simple to manufacture and easy to assemble, the Quonset Hut is an easily recognizable architectural form. The building was designed in 1941 by a team of engineers at Quonset Point Naval Air Station in Rhode Island, hence the name.

I loaded the last brass colored .45 FMJ. I filled a .30 cal. ammo can and that sucker is heavy. I have another 1K or so copper FMJ, but will change to another caliber. Gonna test some .45 revolver rounds Sunday, so if all is well, may switch to that. It rained hard while in the garage and then it got louder. Small hail. Low 50's today, supposed to be 90 next week.

Man, I really feel for you guys dealing with so much rain. I really do. Here it's snowing sideways again. Visibility was bad when I left work, so I headed home instead of to the range. I chose wisely it seems, because the interstate was getting iffy already. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys who are dealing with this whacked out weather, hoping you all come out of it okay.

actually the wife and me have been washing dishes, plates, bowls, glasses, in those cupboards since about 3 PM....way too many to wash and dry all at once.
my God the wife says....."i didn't realize we had so much up there."
after they are all cleaned and dried, i have to touch up some paint in there as well.
then i can vacuum and wash all the shelving.
Dear God, is it winter yet...??
