10. Cut Any Desired Openingscontainer 3

Allowing traffic flow between multiple containers or installing windows will require you to cut out some openings. A cutting torch or a plasma cutter will make this step relatively simply, but do not make any cuts before you have spoken to an engineer and added reinforcements to your structure.

11. Add Flooring
