Hi Al and Wilfried,
Using ex containers and mobile offices can and does work well, but I suggest
anyone thinking of using them check their local bylaws before buying one.
Several people I know here have bought them and had to get rid of them when
neighbours complained, and the bylaw officers were called. There is a local
bylaw here against them unless you have high fences and lots of property
area. Our local bylaws are concerned about having a certain ratio of
building area vs open area.
Cheers, Jeff Dayman Waterloo Ontario Canada
