    My buddy and his family had one built. It looks ratty as hell on the outside. I mean rough. But it's freaking amazing on the inside. Stain aspen on walls and ceiling, kitchen with granite, stainless sink and stove, stand up tile shower, I mean it's bad azz. But they hired people to do it so I'm sorry I don't have a referral for you

        I'll have to text my buddy and see if he has any he could send me. It's freaking nice! They spent some coin on it for sure. But it's nice. I think they cut the sides out for Windows but but put drop down steal doors over it that ar padlocked when they are gone. 60 inch tv and satellite. Drank some beer and watched some football in there.

          It's no different than finishing out a house. Just have to plan things out to fit your space.

          You can make it as nice as you your pocketbook, and imagination can afford.

            Waters Ag in Wichita Falls builds them. go to their web site to look. they are pricey tho. I thought about doin one myself but with them being only 8' wide and my wife wanting a queen size bed I decided a metal bldg would be more cost effective and roomier

              huntmaster - You bring up a good point. The Mueller DIY buildings are a LOT of bang for the buck.

              The only negative I can see is that if you're leasing your hunting property, it won't be very easy to get a metal building moved, where you can just call a truck to move a shipping container.

                There's a place on I-35 just north of Red Oak that has a bunch for sale already built.

                    Just drove by it & made a mental note of the name for you..........................
                    AND I forgot it!!!!!
                    It's actually either southern Red Oak or northern Waxahachie. I'll see if I can figure it out. It's something to do with mobile home parts & service.

                          We bought our container from Metro Containers in Brenham, TX. Its just for storage, but they put on 2 coats of commercial paint and added 2 roll up doors on one side. I believe Metro will customize a container to your specs. Service was great and the price was fair. I believe we paid $4,500'ish delivered to El Campo, TX.

                          Here's their website: http://metrocontainer.net/tablet/index.html
