We finally get some much needed storage solutions on the property. We purchased a 20' connex and built a lean-to on one side giving us just the right amount of storage for our busy life. The container cost $4200.00 and the Lean-to another $1000.00.

And now it's time for a lean-to on the other side of the connex! 😂 Looking good guys! -Dusty

@alaskacutthecord769 10 месяцев назад

I've had that thought. Actually looking at it from the front, it would be really easy to build a monitor style building out of it.

@MitchellsInAlaska 10 месяцев назад

I like your little tractor. That lean to is a nice addition

@alaskacutthecord769 10 месяцев назад

That little tractor has life saver around here. At least that can be out of the rain now.

Hi there. New subscribers from Northern Ontario. Found your channel through Curmudge Inn! I was browsing your videos and this caught my eye. We did a similar project years ago before we started RU-vid. Very cool. I think we might do something like this again at our off grid place. Look forward to checking out your other videos as well. Cheers! ✌️🇨🇦🇺🇸

Great work, such a good idea about connex storage, excellent building the lean to so much extra space, very cool, winter is coming and looks like you’re ready set go 😊❤

@alaskacutthecord769 10 месяцев назад

Thank you much. Winter is coming and by the way it looks it should be starting next weekend. No real snow, just cold.

@johninalaska9563 10 месяцев назад

Hello Adam and Phyllis, connex's are good to have and your lean-to looks pretty sturdy. I rented a place at Deshka Landing for my boat, $135 a month for this Winter. Good to see a video from you. Thanks for sharing.

@alaskacutthecord769 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching John! Hope all is well for you today.

Smart thinking on the boat storage math. Be blessed friends!

@alaskacutthecord769 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. Yup, figured I was gonna spend it regardless. Might as well only do it once. Take care and God bless!

@enigmaticgwichin1630 10 месяцев назад

An man that’s a slick setup for your boat. Kinda hard to get a connex up here but I need that for my boat! Y’all take care👍

@alaskacutthecord769 10 месяцев назад

Thanks bud. We get so much snow here that I have to keep it off the boat or it'll get wrecked. Connex's are expensive but really nice for this situation. Stay safe out there!

Welcome to the channel! It's so weird how I started watching your husband all last winter and now we're talking. Awesome how youtube works, sometimes.

@@alaskacutthecord769 yes I was just talking to Gary saying it's cool how he has a RU-vid family and everyone watching each other's content it's awesome. Btw I been following y'all since my husband told me about it. I just seen his community post saying to tell ya a Gwich'in sent me 😂

@alaskacutthecord769 9 месяцев назад

It feels good to be part of this family!

@jfig786 2 месяца назад

what's going to stop the vertical posts from moving outward and sideways other than the weight. Are the post blocks locked onto the ground somehow?

@alaskacutthecord769 2 месяца назад

Thats a good question. The extra bracing helps but still isn't enough. In a month or so 6 yards of gravel in coming and going to be compacted around and up to the bottom of the post to lock it all together.

@RamblingWithTheBrums 10 месяцев назад

Now that’s a great idea don’t pay the man when you spend it once and save for years after.

@alaskacutthecord769 10 месяцев назад

Thank you sir. We try to do that with everything.

@jasonjasona1786 Месяц назад

how can the water come off the shipping container

@alaskacutthecord769 Месяц назад

It just runs off the sides. It's meant to be on ships in the ocean so they're quite water tight!

@shermantarpley1539 6 месяцев назад

How did you connect it to the container

@alaskacutthecord769 6 месяцев назад

There is a treated sill plate that is screwed to the connex.

@comarshlunan8592 6 месяцев назад

What happens when you get a strong Wind?

@alaskacutthecord769 6 месяцев назад

Nothing. We don't get them here.

@comarshlunan8592 6 месяцев назад

Oh ok, because I noticed the post wasn’t in the ground. I’m planning on doing something similar.

@ashleyanderson2859 10 месяцев назад

Can a person have too much storage? Yes, I am proof. I collect and store more stuff than anyone I know. If you have a lot of storage your parents, siblings are friends think you have room for their things as well. George Carlin had it right "All my Stuff"

@alaskacutthecord769 10 месяцев назад

There's never enough storage! We're a whole lot better now!
