The Container Has Landed

We finally got a container or conex which ever you prefer.  We bought a 20 footer to get the tools locked up and to keep us from having to shlep them in and out of the cabin which would waist an hour of our time each trip.  We found 2 places to get them locally and ending up going with steelcontainers.net .  

They delivered it to us for $200 and we purchased a "one tripper" (only used once).  There was hardly a scratch on it.  The driver got it close to the barn but it was still at and angle so I laid down some steel c-perlin a had the driver set it down on the steel so I could move it by hand.  

Using a hi-lift jack and some chain, I tied to a tree and swung the in of the container over to get it parallel with the entry to the barn.  To get it in the barn so we would be protected from the rain, we tied up to the tractor and gave it some quick jerks.  Then using the hi-lift, I jacked it up and pulled the steel out and leveled it.  Now we have a ridiculous amount of storage space.
