Houston area: potential coop frame for free!

My neighbor came over today and said he's got this metal shipping crate that he needs to get rid of soon.  It is 8X16 with a metal floor and metal frame on all four sides.  I think he said there's a roof too.  I was thinking this could be a fantastic coop frame for someone, so I'm putting up some pictures.  Please PM me if you're interested.

Just to clarify - the thing on the flatbed is the base and it is heavy and very sturdy.  It would be easy to install a wood floor on top of it.  The rest of the frame is upside down in the first 2 pictures.  The neighbor has said he will deliver for the price of gas and is willing to work with anyone at getting it off the flatbed and into a space - as long as your yard/area has room for the flatbed to maneuver in.
