Jesse J Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse J Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse J Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
