One can install a side door @ a reasonable price, but security is compromised some....

they are designed to be supported at the corners only.
so 58K lbs /4 = 14,500 lbs at each corner. so if your footing at the corner can take a 14K lb point load your good to go

I would recommend some of that white rubberized trailer roof coating. An air vent on top or side, and one near the floor is a good thing to let heat out.

Three wives but only two mother-in-laws? You marry sisters at some point?

J_J, from the looks of the ground around the container, I am willing to be he is going to want to keep ALL of the heat in that he can, lol!
On a side note:
The newer boxes are starting to come with 24,000 pound forklift loading rating, which means a forklift won't fall thru the floor unless it and it's cargo is over that, on four wheels (or was that six wheels?)
If you leave that box sitting less than six inches off the ground, and snow keeps getting under it, or critters bury and leave mounds of dirt, you're going to have a rotten floor before long. Those pretty floors won't stand sitting there without a lot of air flow to keep moisture from building up.

That's a Very Nice container - I bought a used Container from a Major company, the 1st one that arrived was so rusted and crushed on both sides that I sent it back. The second one had 2 spots on the side I could kick my foot through and 2 holes in the roof.
