It was an infrastructure day at the farm. The area that was being cleared for water tanks suffered from an attack of me having a Plan B moment. So instead of the impractical placement of tanks I decided this empty space was a better place for storage.

Shipping container storage to be precise.

Financially it makes sense, and will allow me to stop paying for storage in town. My unreliable maths says they will pay for themselves in 13 months, maybe faster if having easy access to the things I need to sort/restore/sell removes some of the friction in that area.

One seemed like not quite enough so I decided to play it safe and get two. Which is a risky move because junk expands to fill available space, so I will need to put a deadline on converting one from storage to a workshop space within 12 months.

In a rare attack of forward planning I had them placed 3m apart so I could put a sail shade between them to provide some extra parking for trailers etc. I will also get the driveway extended down here eventually, but that’s not in this years budget.
