Wooden floors can be replaced. Did you even read that thread you linked?

You don't need to be such a ---pinballjim--- about it.

Here you can't build anything over 120sqft without a foundation. Not even a shed.

Also, shipping containers look ugly. Someone has one set up around the corner from a friends. I think they are using it as a shed. My sister and boyfriend thought about getting one to use as a sound studio. I reckon by the time they filled it with sound proofing and heat insulation, there'd be no room left...

Yeah that's sort of what I was getting at in my post.
It's just metal so you'll have to insulate it... and since it's metal you'll have to build 2x4 stud walls....which could just as easily be the exterior walls. So you've essentially made your cramped space even smaller and on the inside you've built a shed anyway, so why not just build the shed? Essentially you are using the box as exterior sheeting, and that's silly because you can get metal or wood exterior sheeting for as little as 10 bucks for a 4'x8' sheet!
