I have been monitoring this forum for at least a couple of years and have learned lots of good information
I finally ordered my first "real" tractor, a new B3030HSDCC which will be delivered in mid October, after I close on my new property.
Before the tractor arrives, I want to have a safe and dry home for it. The garage currently on the property only has a 6' 6" garage door and I know the B3030 cab model needs 7' minimum. There is no option to increase the current garage door size as there is a finished room over the garage so there is no way to raise the ceiling height Etc.
I have been investigating different options and I do not want to spend loads of money. I am located in Connecticut. So far I have found two possibilites.
1) I can get a prebuilt 12' x 20' garage with a 7' door for around $5,600 delivered.
2) I can get a 8' x 20' steel rebuilt shipping container with a 8'6" door for around $2,100 delivered.

Shipping / Storage Containers (Dry Vans) for sale
Obviously option #2 is much less money than option #1. Now, if I can only sell the wife on the look of a shipping container
Has anyone on this forum ever used a shipping container for storage? They do seem like a much better deal than a shed and are basically water and wind proof as they use them to ship cargo over the ocean.
Thanks for any input.
