Got around to moving some dirt this morning, clearing a vacant lot that some years back I had deposited tons of fill dirt on. The lot is platted for two new buildings, but I don't really need any more, so it's been vacant for over a decade now. Years back I placed an 8' by 20' storage container on it, it's still there. I've got spare parts sitting outside peppered around the fence line, need to clean that up.
So we started moving what appears to be 20-30 dump truck loads of fill, pushing it down the hill to it's new location.
The objective is to flatten the area, put some half inch clean over parts of it, and maybe put up a storage building that can house a few future projects
.
Tomorrow I get to remove 30 feet of the fencing so we can get the rock dumped and spread around. Then I put up a new section of fencing. The old was, well old!
After we stop to assess things, then I'll try to decide whether to put up something structural or move another container in. Those things are pretty cheap storage, and i've seen projects where you place two equal size containers in line but apart some distance, say 16 feet. Then you build a shed roof on top spanning the two containers. You get some "shed space" in between along with a pair of closed dry containers. Pretty inexpensive build, I'd say. And I just happen to have 32 slightly used 2" by 6" cedar joists about 16 foot in length and some left over piles of shingles from various roofs...
Cheers! TomK

I'm not familiar with that...
