I've seen your videos about converting containers into housing. Have you done any work combining containers with manufactured housing, like trailers and modulars? I'm picturing a version of those carriage house style garages/ workshops with apartments above them, where the garage and workshop are made from containers with a mobile home set on top of them.

I have a 20’ container and I am wanting to add a sloped roof off the side, do you have any recommendations on attaching it to the edge of the container? I’m not trying to do a full roof over the container. Thanks

Just a question about the dual swing door, do you have a system that can open inward for a shipping container home?

After having seen the effect of a container door blowing off in a fire, I can attest to them being absolutely deadly for fire brigade members. Never store combustible gases, or power equipment with fuel in the tank, in a shipping container that is airtight, add a vent of some type to your container, be it a window, an actual vent, or even just a hole in the side wall.
