We were looking for some storage and a place to park the new tractor. The least expensive solution we could find were three used shipping containers. These containers are 20 feet by 8 feet. They are guaranteed to be water and wind tight. So for $6700.00 we were able to have delivered on the ground 480 square feet of weather proof storage. This is absolutely the lowest price per square foot of any enclosed storage even cheaper than buying just the material to build a building of the same size.
We first had to build an elevated 18 inch pad about 20 feet by 60 feet for the containers. We did this with soil we received from the county. They had a couple of years ago dug a drainage ditch that ran along our south property line and wanted to find a place for some of the dirt. My son said OK and they dumped it in a pile on the southwest corner of our acre. My son and grand son have been moving it to low spots with a wheel barrow for the last couple of years. Now they have our new LS 3033HST. They were able to move more dirt in a day than they had moved in the last two years.
The following are some videos of the the tractor manhandling the containers from the front where they were dumped by the shipping company to their permanent home on the shelf. One of the containers is the garage for the "Little Tractor That Can".
Now with a little sand blasting and some Rustoleum paint they will look a lot better too.
