Well, you don't exactly have shit-tons of money to transform it in to a corporate playground. Personally, I like the idea of the shipping containers.

the most creative i could afford would be building my office from cardboard boxes. rent would be cheap though...

With enough pallets and styrofoam and bottles and so on, you can even make your own island. DIY indeed.  |

THAT'S IT BABY!!!! i'm building my own island!!
i will (of course) be ruler, and in only the best "french" fashion. i will be empress debpoleon busturboneaparte. my island shall be my fortress and i shall rule fairly and sometimes soberly. all that visit shall stay in all the luxury that cardboard, empty plastic bottles and pallet wood can lend. that said, there will probably be a waiting list, just to warn you.
hank, can you find plans for building a cardboard jack daniels distillery? ;D ?

will your island be big enough to host people on it? that one looks fairly small.
and will it have a beach? and what are the clothing restrictions on said beach if you have one?

I'm pretty sure a distillery is beyond the abilities of cardboard and duct tape. Which is why you would have to make cardboard and duct tape crafts and trade them to people in ports as you float by for more liquor.

Which is why you would have to make cardboard and duct tape crafts and trade them to people in ports as you float by for more liquor. besides, do you really want to WORK on your island paradise? i mean, distilling whiskey might be fun work, but its still work. another idea is to make the official currency of your island jack daniels. entry tax to the island: a pint of jack. docking fee for your ports: a fifth of jack. lodging at your fortress: one quart. |

big enough for guests? hells yeah! i'm actually thinking about investing in bungee-cord so that i can actually have a chain of islands, all with their own private beaches of course, and one with a "clothing optional" beach. i'm also giving consideration to have a casino on one, using jack daniel mini's as the currency of course. being the house, i can make some serious bank roll with that one. there should also be a cannibus island, for my more inclined (or reclined) friends.
as for the distillery? you guys need to do some more research. every nation produces it's own currency. and as for the work side of that.... i'm EMPRESS??? duh. i'll have my minions do the real work. i need to find a staff of little people.
damn, this may take some work.
