    after it rusts away in a few years because the expected lifespan of a shipping container is 20 years before you cut a bunch of holes in it.

    20 years with very large portion of it on the sea exposed to the elements and with minimal to no maintenance. That’s a very damn important detail

      Oh yea I’m sure cutting a bunch of holes in it and then propping one end up and having it support itself plus the weight of all the building materials you added at an angle so it concentrates all of the force onto one short edge plus the unsupported span of the floor will drive that expectancy way up.
