G'day, Shane, from Australia.
I'm just organizing a parcel of land to build a structure.
I intend to use 8x40ft containers/4 stacked 2 high.They will be swastickered
in a square, meaning that each side will be 48ft long by 8ft deep.
The square in the centre will be 32ft sguare and will hold a small swimming
pool.
I will run the power from a generator driven by water and obtain water from
the air with a Max Water machine.
It'll take some time but I'll post when it is under way.
Best wishes,
Maestraux.
