These shipping containers are just so versatile, this one made into an espresso stand.
The other an airplane hanger.

I know of at least one, most likly many more, heavy equipment garages made out of container units as side walls similar to your "hangar", cleary visible from the North Fork Road and only adds to the scenic beauty of the North Fork Road. This particular shop blends in very well with all of the remaining wrecked trucks, road graders, bull dozers, and belly dumps. Buildings similar in design and fashion are used in the oil fields as temporary housing units for field workers. Forty to a hundred of these spread along the border in groups of twenty to thirty may prove to be good motel units for immigranrt workers seeking housing in New America.

It is amazing the number of hangars such as this in LA, too.
Building with the containers - even two high - meets Anchorage regulations for "temporary structure", thus making a more affordable storage space. My boss picked up a 40', for $1200, in excellent shape.
