Crane technique

Today, our renovation supervisor Rody revealed his superhuman strength when our shipping container arrived and was placed in the backyard. Surely, without his might, the crane in the background would have tipped over and ruined the new fence.


Apparently, there's a glut of shipping containers because the shipping business is down. So our using one for storage is kind of like recycling. It's also totally waterproof and sturdy. (We're going to have to insulate it so the contents don't get baked.)


I have to admit that this moment was a little sketchy. The container started swinging toward our neighbor's balcony!


But it found its place on the cement footings and looks pretty good. I like how the backyard has very clean geometric shapes with very different textures.


From the inside looking out. Cutting any size doors costs the same price, so we had the entire side turned into doors. Here's a view of the house from the inside looking out.
