It started out as a shipping container for a new Toyota machining center we purchased at work. I added a trailer tongue and axle. Well I guess the pics will tell the rest.

Think soda can, you can stand on it vertical, it'll cave quickly on its side. Jack it up and restack them, finish the top with a solid cap block to keep the termites at bay.

Archerhunter Campfire Ranger Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 17,048 A sandy knoll,	Well done. It looks GREAT! but.... a tv and dvd? Shucks, around here if there's a cooler for sandwiches and beer (more to keep mice and bugs out than temperature control) and a hook to hang your coat, we feel like it's a weekend at the Ritz! One more thing, in most instances accomodations for the dog are generally more comfortable and better thought out than for the hunters BAN THE RAINBOW FLAG! PERVERTS OFFEND ME!
