Went last night and bought a 20' conex and trailer off CL. It was a heck of a load behind the old lumber wagon. 50 was about all a guy could/wanted to do on the flats. Luckily it was only 30 mi of backroads and after 7 PM so I didn't hold too many people up.
This one was in good shape and the same price as a unknown condition unit delivered from a dealer. I have a bonus trailer now I guess. I liked it being on a trailer so I could deal with setting it off on my own terms, not just where the truck dumped it. The plan is to run a couple circuit electric inside and get it spray foamed for heating/moisture control. This was the first step in moving some equipment I have stored and maybe a transition in my life (all I'm saying on that). A conex is really a heck of a storage unit for a reasonable price. I couldn't touch any kind of tuff-shed for $3k, and this should easy enough to get rid of to the next guy when I'm done with it.
Went to the PNW Machine Tool Expo toady in the big city of Portland. Saw all sorts of wacky, expensive tooling, machines, and software that is out there. I thought they should have had more machinery on display that small and medium sized job shops would be truly interested in. Most was really cool, but based for super production and volume tight-tolerance QC work. Lots of easy to talk to salesmen and other people in the trade. It was a god time.
