Site Selection and Preparation

[Music] first things first we're gonna get in the red yoda here and we're going to drive up and show you guys if i can get in here where we're going to put the container uh you really need to have your stuff together when it comes down to getting one of these containers delivered out to your house so especially if you don't have heavy equipment like i have to move it around so where we're having it dropped is not going to be its permanent home today i will be moving it around shuffling it around and getting it all leveled up in the perfect spot my idea is to take these trusses that i have up here and weld those trusses to the top of the shipping container and make myself a sawmill shed so that'll be really cool we're to drive up here and i'll show you where we're putting it so i'm up here behind my house and this is the equipment yard this is the gravel lot for the equipment yard it's a lot of gravel this is nearly an acre of rock and where i'm thinking about putting the shipping container it's going to be a spot that's going to be easy to level in other words he's going to pull up here he's going to whip it around and we're going to back in right beside my gooseneck trailer right here now the shipping container will slightly be tilted downhill okay towards away from the entrance in other words you don't want it sitting up like this in case it does leak at the entrance the water will go way back in the back of the shipping container the thought process behind getting a shipping container like this is that it's a watertight insect tight hopefully and vermin prevention in other words it can't get uh mice in there so a mouse can go through a hole the size of a pencil and we want to keep mice and rats out of it when you've got a farm when you've got animals when you've got hay like what's sitting over here and when you just have fields or woods you're going to have mice and they're going to try to get into your equipment so we're going to use this thing for all sorts of awesome equipment storage right there is where it's going to go the mega shop is going to go right here so lots of work to go here on the farm let's just hang tight for a minute and wait for this fella to get here once it gets here we'll show you how it all gets set off and we'll walk inside of it and show you what it's like [Music] all right guys it's here awesome [Music] holy crap that thing is huge
