New page

1. Awesomeness: We hack our own space!
2. Expandability: Start small and add cubes as we can/need.
3. Low Risk: Small capital outlay and we can always sell the
containers which are a fairly liquid commodity.
4. Portability: They can be moved very easily and cheap (~$100-200
within the city).
5. Durability: They are heavy, strong and weather resistant. ~9,000lbs
of steel.
6. We just need to find vacant land to put them on.
7. Possibility of getting cheap/free containers as sponsorship or
something.
8. Mobility: Take some or all of our space to meets/conventions/
fairs.
9. Security: Hard to break into. Need a cutting torch.

And some drawbacks, all of which have solutions.

1. Utilities: Electricity, heat, water and sewer would need to be 'off-
grid'.
2. Image: This could either work for us or against us.
3. We're trading cost for sweat equity.
4. Possible difficulty with building/city inspectors. Sometimes their
good people, sometimes their douche bags.
