Let’s be honest with ourselves; we ARE living under a Dictatorship, it’s called the LEFT and is all powerful. It can strip away our Constitutional Rights at will with no one to stop them. We are simply out numbered by the Lefts’ uninformed voters, financially ignorant politicians along with their supportive news media. The end is near, prepare for it!

Sea Shipping Containers
Here's
how I see one of the best uses of sea shipping containers. Simple and reasonably inexpensive way
to get a barn with secure equipment and feed storage.
I see most people just place them on a gravel bed. However if I was making the investment like above I would set them on poured and reinforced concrete piers of the proper size to stay level, anchor them in place against high winds and to support all the weight. An empty 45 foot container weighs 10,300 lbs. Add all your stuff and the weight of the roof and possibly with a snow load you're talking a substantial load.
Today I was at Lowes and parked near the kit buildings.The price ranged from 1000 to 10000. Even at todays prices for a container they cost less than half what stick built cost per sq.ft. Last time I looked a 45 ran 3000 plus delivery.
Mike,
ReplyDeleteA quick way to not just use the containers for storage, love the idea of placing a roof over the top of two.
Now THAT's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThat is a terrific idea!
ReplyDeleteis there a footer under the containers to prevent rust? a great idea!
