So...They tried a delivery of my container today....Dang truck was 1" to wide. We are working on a plan.

I plan to do this next summer ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUMqYSOlpNg&feature=related

I will need to cut my container in half. So I need a plasma dohickey and a fork lift to shift it.

I dunno, Stinky... an attitude like that may lead some to question your gender...... but... carry on.

A girl with that much of a lust for big tools can't be all bad...... [waiting]

I call her Empress Tin    I decided to call her Lady Steelia instead. (http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/205702_1877644135265_1066087049_2213080_4987573_n.jpg)

Stinkerbelle, I think your posted video and your project are cool and I look forward to hearing about your progress.  Empress Tin    Lady Steelia needs much work. 

Also, I think your backyard needs some chickens and a compost bin.

Oh I agree about the chickens and compost bin. I will not get any more animals until our houseis sold up in Seattle and settled. I also want a goat. but alas that will have to wait a bit.

Lady Steelia looks promising!  I liked the video, too...  watched that & then went on to watching a bunch more videos about containers...

I like it. I have a few of them and one is a high cube. I don't particularly need the higher door clearance but I like the security and the weather tight storage they provide.
