    40 foot tall shipping container is pretty tall…

    It's a shame I don't have space for all that. Or the $$$.

      That's quite a list.

      I was thinking a 40' cube container could make a nice shop too... but I didn't think there was such a thing, and found there isn't. 'high cube' looks like a term used for high cubic capacity;

      40’ high cube containers are suitable for all general cargo transportation. They are almost identical to the 40’ standard containers, except that they have more cubic capacity as they are one foot taller. Found here

        Sounds like another craigslist scam

          A 40' HC is 9'6" high, 40' long conversely a standard is 8'6" high. Both are called "Standard" meaning dry as opposed to other configuarions such as reefer, open top, flat rack, tank etc.

              OK, this makes more sense now. I read it as a cube 40' on a side. That's a big cube!

                  I'd hate to be behind that truck and cargo.

                    Did anyone get anything from this. I just sold my house in MI and haven't bought one in CO yet so the timing doesn't work for me.

                      You never know what kind of goodies you can find in a treasure trove of this kind of stuff. I'd love to hit a yard or estate sale like this. Last saturday I visited a local yard sale that advertized 20,000 lbs of nuts and bolts. Being the sucker I am for hardware I had to see what this was all about. This hot and sweaty corner of the world has a lot of large pecan growers and plantations, and this guy was both. His 10,000 + sf shop had pallet racks on all walls with equipment repair supplys and stuff, along with multiple pallets of cases of nuts and bolts. He had purchased the inventory of nut/bolt supplier for the nearby US Marine Corp repair depot when they lost their contract and went broke. A lot of these nuts/bolts were 1" and larger, grade 8, safety wire type and titanium. You never know what you will find at one of these sales, while I was looking at the hardware someone bought a new, never used, double knife 45 degree angle picture frame cutter for $30. that the owner said was in some of the boxes he had bought somewhere. Nothing else I could use here so I thanked him for the visit and went home dazed by the fact that one of my neighbors had more nuts and bolts that I do.

                        didn't buy anything - but keep your eyes on the CS and Pueblo CL listings -
                        you'll find a great deal at least once a month.
