Carey, I'm going to take a 40' container and tack weld a 20' on the top "canty'd" out five feet over the end. The doors for the top 20' container will open out over the cantilever. The base 40' container will keep the original steel doors but have a more traditional entrance set into the container. The 25 feet on top of the base 40' container is a covered deck. The roof of the 20' container now (+/-) 20' off the ground is a telescope observation deck(may or may not be covered). A spiral stair case will connect the roof of the 40 foot container to the roof of the 20' container. Totally off grid and catchment too. I plan on tacking hinges to all the container cut outs so I can put the cabin on lock down as well when needed. I figure when a big hurricane hapens or I have to leave for extended periods of time, I can have some peace of mind. I have satelite pics with images overlaid with the cabin for scale ..lol Working on the model as I type this. "With hot glue...I can do anythingggg"
