Ok, world headquarters update now that I can post pictures again:

Irrigation central got some shelving so I can actually find stuff now.

This is the generator and wiring setup on world headquarters

got a workbench, tool cabinet and shelving

bought a 40ft container to store machines in. I want to put the plows and salters on the roof of the container because I'm limited with ground space at the yard so I had it reinforced.

Had hooks added to the top to strap things down.

That's all I've got for now

Put a Whirley vent on top, the container will get moisture on the inside

Looks well thought out and set up.

I like it.

Agreed, those tube steel should be easier to put sell tapper into as well if he wants to put a board up with hooks on it

We’ve done a ton of self tappers on our sea cans with excellent results. I’ve been leery of putting things on top of mine. Let me know how the reinforced roof works out. Looks like a good idea to me.

Don’t they stack full sea cans one atop of another?
why the need to reinforce the roof from the inside
?

couldn’t you have laid the tubes across the roof?

Because when sea cans are stacked on one another, the corners are what’s touching/ bearing the weight.
The center part where the plows are going or whatever he’s putting up there is just pressed sheet metal, in fact jumping up and down on will dent it.

another reason why you should never bury containers if you’re prepping and looking for a fallout shelter.

Thank you sir

Once I get the plows (x4) and salters (x3) up there I'll post some pics of how it's looking / holding up

I could have yes, but I wanted it to be flat up there to make it easier to put the plows / salters up there. If I put them across I would have had to build a floor on top to get it flat again.

Ive stored small items on top of seacans for years, pick up sweeper goes up there, forks, buckets, anything under 1000 lbs really. Just put part on a side rail. Its not flat up there..
If you really think about it the floor is part of the structure, it has to hold the weight that is stored inside or disperse it to the rails when they are being stacked on ships, otherwise you would end up with 9 cans worth of contents in the bottom can.
Maybe flipping it over would make for a strong roof.... Then fill the bottom with dirt to drive on. Concrete if you dont plan on ever moving it again...lol .




Don't do that....

Pretty sure the bottom is just ribbed with tube steel.
Mine has a wood floor up until the where the king pin would go if they didn’t need special trailers

Got the plows / salters up and out of the way.

Wasn't prepared enough, need to get some longer skids for the salters. Wouldn't hurt to have them for the plows either. Happy with the result though. Have a good amount of room now on the ground.

Should have photos in a month or so, but since I won a lot of 1/8” wall 2.5” pipe at an auction I told the mechanic to convert the pipe into racks for our salters. Plan is to double stack them along a mafia block retaining wall we have in the works. Being able to rack them two high without one resting on the other should enable us to shrink wrap them for off season use. Local boat dealer has a surplus of shrink wrap every spring. I’ll be taking it instead of the dump then wrapping the salters and plows for peanuts. Should really work well for the spares.

Before the Empire days, I'd put all my pushers on top. Never had any issues. You should look for plastic skids, supposedly the professionals in Meatchickin use them... Lookin good!

Have you considered dry ice?

Quick update on world headquarters. I was evicted at the end of September. My landlord gave me a couple days heads up that I needed to be out by Oct. 1. Not going to bash the guy. FedEx offered him 70k a month for half of the yard (unfortunately, I rented a tiny corner of this half). Anyway, he was good enough to talk with his countryman down the road with a yard and he secured me a spot at that yard. So, just a bit of frantic moving at the end of September, and a little less room at the new yard. Here's a pic of the old yard after I moved everything out.
