Alternative Storage

I wonder if the town will let me get one. Do u keep attachments in there too? Did u add any other doors?

40′ Double Door High Cube Container This is the one you want

How much would one of those cost? I got a price from one place that was 4000 for a single door high cube

Can you put up a small cabin- one or two rooms - modular and then a pole barn for the tractor and implements? Or build a small living area into your pole barn to satisfy the town?

Gonna find out about those options, but it doesn’t sound like it will be worth it especially with the resulting increase in taxes, NY sucks

In NH people use box trailers if registered you pay for plates only, no property tax

I don't keep large attachments in it, like a rotary cutter or a box blade because the space is so confined it would be a pain to hook up. I usually drive in with my backhoe attached. Otherwise I keep a generator, tools and other odds and ends. I have not added a pedestrian door or windows because I wanted it to be as secure as possible.

I new a guy, and he dabbled in about everything I think. Anyway, he had a few trucks and fiddle in the trucking business. He also fiddled with these containers. Where he got them I don't know, but he'd sell.them for say 3000-4000 dollars a piece.

How would you go about selling it? Or buying private party? How you going to move it?

Craigslist is a good place to find them but they don't last long, you have to be watching for them everyday. Freight companies will move them for you. If you are buying or selling be sure to have it understood up front whether delivery is included in the sales price.

I paid $600 each for two 20 foot containers, in 2016, at the Richie Brothers auction in Ft. Worth. But I had to go to the port in Lake Charles to pick up. Turned around and sold them for $1200. There are deals to be made, but you gotta hunt for them.
