for housing, too.

My in-laws have a couple. They have so much stuff they've accumulated over the years that they need them for storage.

In the last year or so I saw a story--with sketches--in the MSM or some media close to the MSM that discussed stacking them for building apt. buildings. Modify them, stack them, with wiring and plumbing, bond them together somehow, add outside scaffolding for the stairs, and voila. Housing. IIRC the resulting building wasn't too expensive.
