    20' shipping/ storage container

    I'm looking for either a 20' shipping container or maybe a similar sized alluminum box off a box truck. Not in a huge hurry and if i was i would just go to a dealer and get one for 1k. When I move in May I need to get all my tools, spare parts.... and store them till I buy a house in a year or two. So if you have one laying around or know where one is that is in decent shape let me know. Thanks

    dude you know if you buy one of those you have to put it somewhere, and move it to and from that location. Get a storage unit and renter's insurance for a couple of months and maybe someone will do you a favor and take all that crap off your hands for you.

    spoken from experience...though nobody's done me that favor thus far. Hope all the crap in my basement hasn't become a vital part of my house's structure!

    life is much simpler when you can pick up everything you own and move cross-country in an 8' bed pickup.

    when you buy a container, 99% of the time transporting it is included with the price.

    Life was simpler then. Incidentally, the place I lived in at the time was about the size of an 8' pickup bed. At least Kopecki was a good landlord, he took me fishing and stuff.

    Stumble in to the liquor store
    With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
    I know just what I'm lookin for
    Thunderbird will do just fine.
