You are right Mark P I was addressing you as I've said in previous post I can be easily confused.You have confirmed my suspicion of cost prohibitive.Security and cost are my main concerns.I do want to have what I put up last as long as possible.That's why the one thing.. I would like is the special paint.I'm afraid I may just keep the container in original shape for fear of screwing up.maybe a large lanai roofed and screened in for awake time ,leave the container intact for sleeping and storage.I'm just to the point of clearing out belongings and planning my finances.I'm going against all the good advise here and not renting first.I plan on buying 3 acre lot in H.A. or Fern Forrest.Having a drive and house site ripped Putting in a container,some sort of small catchment and P.V.system.That should more than take care of my available funds.I have a feeling I may be at the beginning of a huge wave of people with similar aspirations.Thanks again for all the valuable info.Knowing of folks like yourself and others there living their version of my dream encourages and inspires me.You could say I'm chomping at the bit.
