      Here is a video of another Container Window home talking about why not to use the utility window for their container house (which seem to be what you used when I saw the video) ua-cam.com/video/ZTan669DxHU/v-deo.html I put the 500sec mark so it start where they talk about it.

    You kids bring a whole new meaning to "making the sparks fly". Loving this project. One note: be very careful where you locate "Mom's Cabin". Too far away from your house and, one big snowfall, she has to wait for you guys to move the snow so she can get out. Also, try to give her a flat surface to walk to your home. One good freeze and Mom could be sliding down the driveway like a bobsled driver--without the sled.
