Looking for some advice on building an outbuilding on our property. We will not be building our house for a year or two. We will be living in a prefab. We will need to store our belongings until the home gets build. We need to bring them into Belize though within the year as I am coming in on the QRProgram. Any advice is welcome. - Type of structure - Build ourselves, hire someone - other advice.. Thanks

regarding purchasing a container for secure storage.....聽 I have a friend who is in the process of selling 2 40 ft containers for $10k.聽 If you are interested聽 the containers are in Corozal and were used to bring in supplies for building a home.聽 can call Dr. Mike Parrish here in Corozal.

Shipping containers are are great idea, in that if you get creative they can also be converted into guest cabins.

This is not the best example in that I've seen others with better outside designs.

I noticed that 2 of the homes that were under construction in Hopkins were incorporating the shipping containers into the design of their homes. It seemed like a very clever idea.
They were lifted onto a raised slab - with concrete walls on either side that were decorated with ceramic tile. Seemed very secure and quite attractive.
