Insulation

The only real option for these steel containers is sprayfoam. Using anything else will end up giving you condensation. So I opted for 3" of sprayfoam. In the ceiling I wanted more insulation so after the 3" of sprayfoam I added batts of R 11 giving me about R32 which is excellent for the ceiling and really helps to muffle the rain. DIY sprayfoam is not recommended due to the chemistry involved in the 2 chemicals mixing etc. It costs about the same to DIY as hiring a contractor. So it's much easier to hire it and there's no learning curve.
In the one picture you can also see the dividing wall that separates the storage half from the finished half.
