    Levi, you are inspiring in the gentlest way.
    You aren't telling people how to live. You aren't pushing some ideal version of existence onto anybody. Heck, you don't even really act like you have life figured out. You're just living, and more importantly...THINKING...outside the box.
    It winds up being super entertaining to watch and encouraging to those of us who seem incapable staying inside the box as well.
    More power to you, man. Love your stuff.

    It's great how excited you are about the shipping container. About 20 years ago I started designing homes built using containers combined in various configurations. Back then very few people were thinking of containers as housing components. I had more than a few people laugh at me. Now many of the people who once laughed at me think it's a neat idea. My ideas were pretty rudimentary compared to some of today's designs.

    For your cutting and grinding area... Get some clear vinyl strips (like a walk in cooler/freezer has) I did that in a small garage to isolate one area for cutting/welding etc. Really helps keep the mess on one side. You could prob attach them on strong magnets so when not in use they wouldn't be in the way.
    Also if you're going to do a lot of metal work buy a plasma cutter, so much better than a cutting wheel or oxy/ac torch

    I'm a very good mechanic, and I have many hammers, crow bars, adjustable wrenches, chisels, and various types of locking pliers.
    I can't think of any of them that I haven't needed or used.
    They are invaluable for situations where parts are seized, stripped, or broken, and cannot be removed with normal fitted tools.
    Yes, I have worked on a motorcycle with a hacksaw.

    Hey. I hope it's all good. I have a question which is concern at the same time. Is it safe - I have heard a rumor a bunch of times that these shipping containers are covered with some stuff to be shipping safe and that thing is somewhat toxic to be in for a prolonged period with humans. So they have to be treated well before you chill in there.
