One question, does anyone know where I can get the engineer certification for these storage containers. The reason I ask is I plan on using one for a storage shed but need to prove to town council it will meet or exceed our Canadian building code for garages and carports. They would like to know how much snowfall and wind it will withstand, ...silly I know, after seeing where these are used. Any help appreciated Hi, I think anything we can use these old sea cans for is an excellent idea.

The story and photos are here. I hope it is OK to post another link here. My sincere apologies for this if it isn't. http://www.archdaily.com/10620/puma-city-shipping-container-store-lot/ The Puma store is actually dismantled and rebuilt at all of the stops on the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-2009, and it´s transported to each location (Alicante, Boston, Stockholm) and assembled quickly.

We actually thought about including Puma City one, but we've never seen it, never spoken to some one who has seen it, and at the moment (we might be wrong about this) it doesn't seem like the Puma City structure is set up anywhere. Clearly, we'll have to publish a review of 5 more cool container buildings in the not too distance future. Thanks, Eric.
