1. get electricity, neon lights, furniture, stack two side by site, doors only you may dry wall if you have time
2. It may take more than you think. First you'll need a concrete pad to set it down on and you'll need to pass all the local building codes for house construction. That means you'll need a water well and septic sewer system if your planning on living in the country where the land is cheaper. Then you'll need to get a welder to cut additional holes for doors, windows and a skylight, some of which are needed to meet the fire exit requirements for a private residence. Then you'll need a heating and ventilation system with fire proofed insulation on the floors, walls and ceilings. By the time your done, you'll wish you never started the project because it's a lot easier and cheaper just to buy a small manufactured house to be delivered and built on your foundation. They are becoming very popular nowadays.
