The Shopping Container

[Jesse J]

Figured I would get around to the write up on this project. 3 shipping containers in  U with a high bay area in the backyard. Got the zoning permits yesterday and some other things need to happen before that such as demo on the shed and moving the hot tub. this project will also include a new fence. We have a 20" container in the backyard and I will try to snag some pictures of where it's going.

yeah it won't be huge but better than the backyard

[jdog]

Anything is better then nothing. If you're anything like me, you will want to expand in a few years

[Jesse J]

yeah for sure. When I get my own place I want a shop 3 times the square footage of my house

Looks like you are planning to park the van from A-Team in there?

Following along your project........love it, sure better than nothing

 

Could not agree more; our house is 1200 sq ft..shop 3500 sq ft and it's still to small

yeah it will at least allow me not to be laying in the dirt and the cold doing whatever in the winter

[MiNi Beast]

poor thing don't want to get dirty. 

[Jesse J]

Lol. in other news. steel for the new fence is about three weeks from monday out. 

[89 MJ]

I suppose a guy could call this building a shopping container if he wanted to play with words. 

[Jesse J]

ok that's just great

Got the conex that is here already moved back about 15 feet so we have room to maneuver. we took the bottle jack dug a hole then put three inch pipe under then and gave it a tug with the tundra. worked a treat. also here's what the backyard looks like right now and a close approximation of where the shop is going. That shed is going and the hot tub is moving

[Ollie]

 

When I see items such as these....it makes my back hurt...........

[Jesse J]

well I am still young and have a couple years to break my back. the dirt in the backyard is pretty rocky so it was hard to dig a hole underneath the conex (brand name for shipping containers) 

 

Got the new hot tub position dug yesterday morning. 3 tons of gravel is coming tomorrow for there and the gate
