OT Barn ideas using Conex container

www. tractor by net . com (take spaces out, gotta get past the filter) and look under the 'projects' area for a post by an 'Eddie Walker' that has the word container in it. It has over 100 messages in it, many many pictures, The guy started out with a simple idea of 2 for walls plus a roof across the middle for tractor storage. ended up living in one of them, turned it into an appartment, even a knock-out for a big screen TV.....

Anyhow, a heck of a resource for working with those things. Think that thread is 2 years old, but gets added to every month or so, and bubbles to the top, so you should be able to find it.

I priced them out - you can get 40 -footers delivered for about $1800 - $2000 each.

I didn't finish pricing out such a construction, but it does seem like you'd be close to the cost of a pole barn. In essence, I'd be spending about $8000 for two 40' x 16' walls (with additional rooms divided up into sizes that I'm not sure they be what I'd want.

Best use for them may be just for storage "as is" - my dad has an old aluminum trailer, cut off the axles and supports so it sits on the ground. It is 32 or 33 feet feet long, he fits 3 tractors in it for winter storage.

Plus, I (by "I" I mean my wife) decided that such a structure wouldn't fit too well into the neighborhood. So, we (by "we" I mean "I") will have to build something a bit more conventional and a little more expensive.
