Default Small house, large shed

"Chris and I bought a small piece of land in the country. We loaded our house stuff on a trailer and shifted to a rental. We bought seven shipping containers and shifted the shite from my shed out onto our bit of dirt. We built a building (small house, large shed) (house still not finished) and seven years later, we opened the seven containers to see what was in there. It was like Christmas (for me)"

Sources known to be reliable in the past indicate there is video to follow ...
After all, if you haven't got video . . .

Congratulations Lynn.
I was so impressed with what I saw and heard when I visited a week ago.
Regards, Terry.

Default Story

What a great story well told Lynn!
I enjoyed reading each unfolding episode. It's given me a really good idea of not just the research and acquisition as well as fabrication of parts, but also of the human side of fitting in this sort of project with family life.
Well done.
