Getting Jacked

 Been pondering for quite sometime. Just how does one lift up on 8500 pound 40ft  steel beast? Turns out was a piece of cake. Dig a hole insert jack, and up it went. Throw a couple concrete blocks under the corners Viola! Perfectly level shipping container all inside of about 10 minutes. Yes that is Gingys nose consuming the lower left portion of the picture. Heres a few more pics.....



Enough room to run any needed hoses or wires underneath now as well. 

Attics up, and that is my future front door leaning up against the wall.
Thanks for visiting! Good Day!

  4. Good job Ryan, did you put that on blocks to get by the permits. Also, for your future Info, on ebay you can now buy 12,24,&36 volt heating elements for a standard hot water heater. I have been heating my water with a 12 volt element and 4 100 watt panels for 3 years now and it works great. I added a cut off switch so not to run batteries down at night. Dan.
