Container Home: Delivering the First Shipping Container - 16 May 2015

Here is a picture of the first container being delivered.





This was right after the container was slowly lowered down to the slab.

After the container got put partially in place on the slab, we used a backhoe to pull it into place.

Here is a video I took as it was being pulled into place.

Here is a picture after we pulled the first shipping container into place using a backhoe. Yes, a standard backhoe is powerful enough to move 10,000 pounds with the scoop. I was surprised they have that much power, but also thankful that I didn't have to get a crane in there.

Here is a picture from the end of the first container in position.

This same day, we got a couple of more trees pushed over and the driveway formed. so that it circles around the trees in the center. In the end, I am going to have a concrete driveway laid. I ride motorcycles and know how dangerous gravel is to them.
