- We finally get some much needed storage solutions on the property. We purchased a 20' connex and built a lean-to on one side giving us just the right amount of storage for our busy life. The container cost $4200.00 and the Lean-to another $1000.00.

And now it's time for a lean-to on the other side of the connex! 😂 Looking good guys! -Dusty
I've had that thought. Actually looking at it from the front, it would be really easy to build a monitor style building out of it.
Hello Adam and Phyllis, connex's are good to have and your lean-to looks pretty sturdy. I rented a place at Deshka Landing for my boat, $135 a month for this Winter. Good to see a video from you. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching John! Hope all is well for you today.
I like your little tractor. That lean to is a nice addition
That little tractor has life saver around here. At least that can be out of the rain now.
Shoot yeah! Thats 1 nice conex and lean-to! Should give yall decades of good use! Yall take care! And stay warm!
Yes, it us much needed. Wish we would've done it two years ago!
Smart thinking on the boat storage math. Be blessed friends!
Thank you so much. Yup, figured I was gonna spend it regardless. Might as well only do it once. Take care and God bless!
@@alaskacutthecord769 God bless you too friends. 😊
Great work, such a good idea about connex storage, excellent building the lean to so much extra space, very cool, winter is coming and looks like you’re ready set go 😊❤
Thank you much. Winter is coming and by the way it looks it should be starting next weekend. No real snow, just cold.
Now thats great team work. Awesome effort well done 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much. We do work well together.
An man that’s a slick setup for your boat. Kinda hard to get a connex up here but I need that for my boat! Y’all take care👍
Thanks bud. We get so much snow here that I have to keep it off the boat or it'll get wrecked. Connex's are expensive but really nice for this situation. Stay safe out there!
@@alaskacutthecord769 will do👍
Hello your channel was mentioned on Alone in remote alaska so I'm here to enjoy your channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
Look at all the room for activities 🍻
I think that just might happen too, Randy!
Very cool..looks great 👍
It turned out really good and sturdy!
That’s a great project.
Thanks so much for watching! It was kinda fun!
Almost 2000 subscribers!! Whoop!
Yup, we're getting close for sure! Looking forward to it.
Can a person have too much storage? Yes, I am proof. I collect and store more stuff than anyone I know. If you have a lot of storage your parents, siblings are friends think you have room for their things as well. George Carlin had it right "All my Stuff"
There's never enough storage! We're a whole lot better now!
Now that’s a great idea don’t pay the man when you spend it once and save for years after.
Thank you sir. We try to do that with everything.
Enjoyed your video. Subscribed to the channel. Appreciate the time lapse 👍. Please consider turning volume down on the music. Looking forward to the next video. 💪🤠🎯
Thank you for subscribing. We are always working to improve the quality of our videos, thank you for the comment.
Hope you guys don't get high winds...
We almost never have wind here. Twice a year for about 3 hours total.
That looked like a fun project. Give me a shout if you decide to do the other side, love to help amd learn a bit in doing it 😉
Will do!
A Gwich'in sent me 😂
Welcome to the channel! It's so weird how I started watching your husband all last winter and now we're talking. Awesome how youtube works, sometimes.
@@alaskacutthecord769 yes I was just talking to Gary saying it's cool how he has a CZcams family and everyone watching each other's content it's awesome. Btw I been following y'all since my husband told me about it. I just seen his community post saying to tell ya a Gwich'in sent me 😂
It feels good to be part of this family!
what's going to stop the vertical posts from moving outward and sideways other than the weight. Are the post blocks locked onto the ground somehow?
Thats a good question. The extra bracing helps but still isn't enough. In a month or so 6 yards of gravel in coming and going to be compacted around and up to the bottom of the post to lock it all together.
How did you connect it to the container
There is a treated sill plate that is screwed to the connex.
how can the water come off the shipping container
It just runs off the sides. It's meant to be on ships in the ocean so they're quite water tight!
What happens when you get a strong Wind?
Nothing. We don't get them here.
Oh ok, because I noticed the post wasn’t in the ground. I’m planning on doing something similar.
