Was sure Woody could carry it in his car eventually I still marvel he fitted all his stall stuff in the small car where theres a will theres a way. In the 60,s driving past a lake I saw this piece of sawn timber about 18 ft long alongside a lake at that time working for Rank Xerox in my Mini Van straddled the timber tied it front and back under the van and drove home carefully trusting no police around.
A furniture maker used to give me top sheets, bottom sheets of laminated chip board 35mm thick 8 feet by 12 ft sheets the deal was they were real busy at all timesI had to get it , load it myself I was a lot younger stronger then and I was shelving out a shipping container having welded brackets already so with my 6 by 4 feet trailer edged up to the stack slid the sheets over the trailer and tied three on carefully drove 15 miles home sliced them one at a time on the trailer to 12 ft lengths by 18 inches my dearly beloved and I end for end to the container result new shelves. I had concreted steel posts and welded steel frame for a shed alongside the 20 ft shipping container and I saw a cheap add in the paper for huge Oregon beams twenty feet long out with the trailer brought them home pitched a roof over the container and shed on my own. That week another cheap add for 10 bucks forty sheets of 1/2 inch insulation sheets sisalation each side enough to cover the container (they have a flat roof).
Ah youth and have a go combined so that part of a tree cut up piece of cake in the trailer iI still use regard it like a right arm.
When I bought the steel container in the 90,s it had been abused doors left open had to replace a third of the floor patch axe cuts ground the orange paint of the whole thing with a four inch grinder painted it a dark green, when a truck brought it to my place had to cut steel side fence posts to get it in off the main road they slid it off twelve feet from where I wanted it had to leave quickly so I used a 10 ft length of steam pipe and a block of wood a foot square levered the 2.2 ton thing into place Wilma was real worried as I levered each corner up to slip a concrete block under each corner.
I.m glad I make everything solid cause on the 31st of December in mid flight I threw myself metres to the shed roof alongside the container. guttering then let go, landed on a security screen door it seems made a right mess of that. All true and alls well that ends well. Pic side of shed attached to the shipping container, whats left of the security screen bottom right.
Me and Archimedes get along well with his theories.
Kind regards Peter.
