Gimme Shelter

On the approach to New York City you can see stacks of empty cargo containers. Stacks and stacks and stacks. It is still cheaper to build a new one in the originating country than it is to ship back an empty from the US.

What to do with all of these things? Here's a site with some interesting solutions. Need more space? A vacation home? A hidey hole?

Addendum (January 8, 2009): More fun things to do with cargo containers: Homes and offices. Refurbished and stacked or un-refurbished and stacked. Some details on refurbishing.
