Storage / Parking

New diesels look cleaner since particles are smaller. The smaller particles get into plant and animal cells causing much greater damage. Burniing wood is even better but HOAs also don't like this)

HOA's are sometimes a lot like Historic Preservation Committees (HPC): it's often more about ego and power of the association/committee members than anything really practical. That's human nature I guess.

Case in point (briefly): worked a job once in Historic Georgetown (Washington, DC). The owner of the historic (c. 1790) townhouse was a person of (very) considerable means. She wanted to replace all the windows in her house. HPC said no.

She said she would reproduce them exactly, even to paying for the special cutting knives for the profiles (and was planning on reproducing them in mahogany, which she was going to have painted!). HPC shut her down again, "no". The explanation was that the original wood had to be preserved, that was the issue for the HPC.

No way in H--- that anyone would have ever known the difference by looking at those windows. But certain individuals of the membership on that HPC wanted to prove that their power was greater than that of the owner. Go figure.

Those are the kind of people that need to loose something very important or dear to them just to bring them back to earth. Not advocating murder here, don't get me wrong, but people like that need to be punished harshly. Things like that are getting way too commonplace and spreading to places where it was once unheard of. It has to stop somewhere.

Does or has anyone ever parked there Deuce in a 40' shipping container? Any idea how big the opening is? Don't have a problem with taking the stack and roof off once a year.... but be great if I didn't have too. Been thinking about reasonably priced inside winter storage for my Deuce and boat, could back the boat in first then run the Deuce in front. Don't have any use for the Deuce or boat in the winter, don't have the money to put up a pole building now.

Got a new pole building going up as I post this. Floor is being poured tomorrow!

Don't know about parking, but one member here had a large truck sent to Texas from Hawaii in a shipping container.

 

[Warthog]

The truck from Hawaii was a M925. He shipped to the Los Angeles and drove it back to Texas. It was one of the early released M925s in private hands.

A deuce should fit just fine.

Took this off of Google.. Mine won't fit with my 395s, I'm over 9', not sure about the width..

DeucesWild11,
There was a guy bringing containers up here from Chicago, he would put two small containers in a large closed top. It seems like the 40' would have a larger door than the one you found. Thanks for looking it up, guess I should have. Here is a link to what I found.

Nice! Man. I so need a business that would support the building of a pole building for workshop and truck storage. If I built one for pleasure only, I could not justify the cost.
