Once the footings were cured. All six containers were set and welded in one day using two track hoes working in tandem. Two operators who were very comfortable working together and were used to team lifts.

RL, All the containers were welded together with 1/2? plate steel then bolted. The bottom containers were then bolted to the footings. Those footings span under both of the bottom containers and are 3 feet wide, 4 feet deep and 18 feet long solid reinforced concrete. Each empty container...

RL, Due to the steel construction they have to be sprayfoamed otherwise you end up with condensation on the inside of the steel causing rust and mold issues. Whole thing is sprayfoamed on the inside. There is a ventless propane wall heater in the bottom container, both bedrooms and the...

Tod, Literally played lots of Jenga to get it where I thought it would work. Containers were almost 90% cheaper for the shell of the structure than stick built. A little under $5.00/sq ft.out of pocket, friends and favors saved a bunch along the way too. Finding guys to work on it was the...

That late a draw down and you may not have to plant anything. Let the wild stuff come up and see what you got. If it's smartweed and millet then let it go and maybe just fertilize. If it's cockleburr, sesbania, etc. spray away. If you do plant don't forget you have the buckwheat option too...

It's a Juvie. hehehehe stir, stir, stir.
