That is what I wish I had done.

my garage is/was 20x20, which filled up quick. so i had a 40 footer dropped right next to it and blew out 15 feet of the wall in the container and 15 feet in the garage wall and now i have a 29x20 garage with another 8x20 section off the back. it's been about a year now and i like it so much i'm heading back to the container place any day now to grab a 20 footer to lay across the back of the garage to make it 29 feet deep. the only issue i've encountered is that my first can was aluminum not steel, and so the roof bows quite a bit when the snow piles up on top. i put some reinforcements inside and i go up there and shovel it off if it gets deeper than 6 or so inches. it looks redneck at first, but with T111 on it you can't really tell what it is.
