friskybri Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 So the wife was getting unhappy about not having much room in the basement because of the lights. So over the past week I have been clearing land in the woods so I could put up my storage shed. Didn't feel like building one so I bought a 40' shipping container. Now I have no issues with storage.

Gary Blair Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 What about heat? It would seem these would get extremely hot with no ventilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownOut Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Is your wife going to kick you out? Are you going to live in it too? I wish my shed was half that size. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nurples Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Screw the storage... I want the supplies! Maybe the containers come loaded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friskybri Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Wish I would have gotten this 2 years ago. They were going from 2,000 to 2,500. Now they are going for 3,100 plus tax. Delivery was 325 from chicago. Total was $3,725 for the container. You can get these anywhere. I got 5 quotes from different companys. I plan on using this for tools, fireworks tubes, lawn mower, christmas supplys and yes man cave. Down the road I plan on putting in power. I plan on next year adding a vent fan to the top of the container with a side inlet vent to keep the conatiner cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Rise Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 That's still cheaper than monthly fees on a storage unit, or purchasing trailer.I wish I had room for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeH Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 You have too many duplicate stuff in there. You only need one of each. Send us the rest of the duplicates....that'll give you more room for your lawn mower.MikeH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
