That was great driving by the container delivery guy. Having driven over 2 million miles over North America with 12 years of that being pickup and delivery, I can totally understand what he went through to get the job done. Most people don't understand that trailers backing up respond differently than pulling forward and in this case with the extremely tight road and corners, he did pretty good. Thank God, it wasn't raining or snowing while this was going on.

Hopefully the driver received a tip. He deserves one. Very nice. Congratulations! As someone said yesterday "don't be surprised if the truck driver asks you to trim some more trees."

I love the sound of an earlier Powerstroke working. This one sounds like my 2001 7.3 nothing fazed it. With the 6 speed there was always another gear. 266,000 miles and all it ever needed was 2 batteries an alternator and a clutch. This driver should have walked the drop site before getting to it.

Is there anything as beautiful as seeing a skilled driver at work. Millimetre perfect. Well done.

The pickup driver earned his keep. That was a hard drive. The F-350 engine sounded ferocious going up the steep hill.

Great idea ! Love container homes . Pick them up at the railyard for UPS sometimes .Parallel interests . Vw's ,container homes and busses .Hope to visit one year .I own a 1977 MCI MC8 conversion because of your channel. My late Uncle was a lifelong long haul trucker and spoke highly of TN and retired there

Great delivery by the driver and great leveling by Scott! Congrats, guys!

If u ever have along trailer come up in there again get ur buddy’s tractor & a couple straps u can pick the back of the trailer up & steer it for them! Then it’s just like he’s only backing a truck up! We do this all the time with wide loads & such!

Having owned a container that I used for storage I highly recommend that you put venting in it or you will have problems with condensation, I have had meny things destroyed by dampness coursed by this. Cheers

The hotshot earned his money delivering the can!......good job!

Hey guys Kevin here from Australia. A+ performance for the delivery driver. I rekin the container would look good in army camouflage. ✌ Peace

Driver (pro) and F350 🇺🇸 earned their keep on this delivery 👍

That Ford kicked ass and what a great job to the driver!!!!

The delivery guy deserves a medal.

Sweet! I just got my 3 containers delivered last week. Always exciting!

That storage will come in handy. I will be putting one of those at my farm pretty soon. I see you used geofrabric on the drive way. That is a good move.

Congrats on you first structure on your property. Cheers to your future endeavours.

I had a friend that ran over that type of road fabric in his one ton Dodge dully, his back tire picked it up and it wrapped itself around the back set of duels on the drivers side and it took over an hour to get the truck back on the road. Damage to the emergency break bracket was extensive and expensive. Just letting you know.

That trailer is a pretty sweet setup! Perfect tool for the job..

Nice to see that old 7.3 Ford doing a full days work...

You did well to get them to deliver it to that spot high risk tip over good driver nice clean container good job

He was definitely working that Ford. Ford trucks are made to be work horses. Lol

I have to say that job went pretty good well done 👍

I'd like to see the look on that drivers face when he got to the top of the hill. He's probably thinking you got a bus up here? How?

I had a 20' container delivered to my place in MO. Same color and logo on the side as yours. I told them a 40' won't make the turn on the county road and all they had was a 40' trailer. So they looked into other options and had worked out a deal with a local wrecker place with a 20' tilt bed. I've had it just over two months so no condensation but it will get hot as an oven on a day in the low 80's which we've recently had.

Gotta love a 7.3 power stroke!

Now you're going to have to paint the container green (or cammo) so it doesn't stick out so much in the trees!

Great job there driver dude. Seems like a pretty patient guy to put up with all that but I’m sure he enjoyed the challenge.

good luck been living in mine for 3 months never looking back!

Dang you're busy this time of year ... me too! As slow as things started they sure picked up speed quickly. I've been trying to stayed tuned but there are only so many hours in a day.

I hope you tipped that driver ! That was asking a lot for a delivery. Site preparation could of been better. The corona has been letting you get so much done, going to be a great place.

Neighbour must appreciate the work you’ve done to the Kubota. My friends love to lend me things like a truck. They know at the very least, they get back a truck freshly washed, with a full tank of gas

That driver must have cused you out for that difficult terrain.

Time to mount a trailer ball on the top of your tractor bucket. You could of unpinned his trailer and turned it around for him with the tractor then repinned. You'll never run out of uses for a 2" ball on the bucket for moving gooseneck and bumper hitch trailers around in tight spaces.

Looks nice there with all the leaves coming in.

He had a job backing the trailer around. Its long way from the back of the truck to the trailer axle. Nice container. Heaps of storage room in that. We have a container for storage for our clubs gear and yes as Mr Sullivan below says put vents in it to stop condensation with mesh under the vent holes to stop bugs and wasps getting in. You have a nice section in the bush. Its coming along.

Napa 45 bucks on the hose nice driving with the Ford pickup very impressive looks great up there.

Kind of thought the container would be there pretty soon :-) It's all coming together nicely...

Job well done driver. He took his time and it payed off.

Some good tractoring there Scott!

Scott, that was interesting to watch. I feel like the driver did a pretty good job getting that large container into the spot you prepared, and most comments seem to agree. But a few, as usual, were critical. You had said in a previous video that you had laid out and cleared the area so that it should not be too difficult to back it in. Since a 40-ft container is probably 8,000-9,000 lbs, and the delivery was made with a Ford pickup, don't you think he did pretty good? Your property does offer a few challenges for delivery trucks (or visiting buses)... 😏

That old 7.3 sounded good barking up that hill!

The kubota wanted to be a 2 stroke and mark it's spot like Lenny. 🤠

At a Tare weight of 8,200 lbs, that container is heavy. No wonder that truck was straining to move and laboring up the hill. I'm surprised it slid off of the trailer with just the back end resting on the 4 x 4. Quite a set up that delivery guy's company has. Talk about a strong 5th wheel hitch. As tall as it was, it took a lot of bending moment pulling and pushing that trailer over uneven ground. What a stark contrast to the HOA back in Avon. Here you are free to do as you please and enjoy life.

Hey Scott, just had a thought.... if you don't sell one of your rooftop a/c's you could put one on the container if you wanted to work on something inside.... Having lived in TN I know the summers are very hot and humid.... lol's Great job on the installation of the container...

Was wondering if the driver thought that concrete pad was his drop off point when he first drove up.

Nice job. Another 7.3 earns its keep for the day.

I'm in the UK and I love it 😎

Wow great job done for a trailer and a super 1 ton truck.

thumps up for that Power-stroke!! I bet his trans temp were through the roof

Getting to be a pro with that box blade!!

I'm in the UK & I can smell that clutch from here.

Those Tennessee boys can drive a truck. Good people.

I got one! Made the driver do a practice run without the container to make sure before I bought it!

It is so nice sound, that diesel in the work...

A VERY impressive bit of positioning.

For now you can paint the back of the conex green until the bushes grow in 👍👍👍

I second the comment on venting the container. If we had to do it all again, I would spend the cash and get a solar power unit. And windows if I wasn’t worry about people breaking in.

18:12 - {Kelly} _"does he need your help up there, so he can see in the front or on the side?"_ Probably but, let's watch him work on it for a minute, first- this is entertaining (we've all been on both sides of this kind of scenario) - lol That guy was probably glad to get the hell out of there in one piece-

Truck n driver earned that deliver change . Lol

Wow, you sure made the guy earn his money today, I hope you made him a coffee afterwards. Great job anyway, oh, are you thinking of painting the container green to blend in with the plant life? Your new place is coming along nicely. Regards Dave int he UK.

Awesome. There is nothing better than a shipping container.

That's one bad ass pick up truck.

Everything is looking really good

Hey Scott, Look up another KZfaq page Andrew Camarata. He built a shop/ home, on a castle theme, based on shipping containers

Make the turn wider on your driveway. I had a similar problem with my site. The road coming in wasn't paved around the last turn. It is a public road, the owner of the lot wouldn't allow the state to pave his frontage. It was a long time feud. Once passed his land it is paved again! I had a delivery of 76 ft trusses. Over 100ft with truck and trailer. I had a crane standing by to help the trailer arou d that last turn. Make that turn wider, you own the land. We shall see if the state will pave it now. The owner that held the grudge with the state has passed away and I now have a pond with a dry hydrant for the local fire department. Can't wait to see the look on the fire truck driver's face the first time he comes around that turn.😀

That container is in good shape. Some solar lights and ventilation and your set.

I had the walls shaking with the audio cranked up. Love the sound of a hard working diesel.

What impressed me most about that Ford was it's traction. Very little wheel slip at all, even in the unprepared ground.

The old ford is pulling good!

Good landing...a couple of solar panels and a storage battery and you could have lights and a few creature comforts on the box.

That there was some expert driving

Delivery guy did a good job.

Casa de Scott, love it.

There's a blue stone called dolemite and it absorbs oil it's larger than gravel maybe use it around where you park the buses 👍

If this is a semi-permanent installation you need some concrete foundation posts, not the bits of timber it is supported on, which will rot out. Also, the underside of the container needs a barrier to vegetation growth, which will create moisture in the ply flooring, causing it to rot and that is notwithstanding that the underside of the container will provide an excellent habitat for vermin.

Got to love an old 7.3

The shipping container is a modern day version of a 44 gallon drum. Can be reused but has a limit of times Gets soiled and can’t be used for certain items Sold for alternate use eg storage or modified for housing. 44 gallon drum may be dog house used oil But if top and bottom cut off and side cut an flattened For sheets nailed to timber as wall sheathing and roof sheets put though a corrugated roller. The sheets would equal out to be eight feet long. Sometimes if container to old for a high grade product return to expensive to return empty. This is not happening today but tradition building product for NZ is corrugated Iron is used allot. Called now any length , long run iron.

Good job, fellas.

That fella earned his pay with that delivery.

Sounds like that Powerstroke is working overtime!

That truck driver could get a part-time job delivering septic tanks

that ford is a work horse. that 7.3 Powerstroke runs like new. & no not all o reilly make them, only some make hydraulic hoses. & i always have good luck with them for hydraulic hoses.

He drove in,saw the nice concrete pad and thought,"yep,nice easy one today".

That 7.3L is a beast. Looks like a 1999.

Wow that had to be no fun. He might not come a second time. He look like he knew what he was doing.

I use a floor Jack to level off my containers as needed

There's over a HALF A MILLION views at the time of my comment. LOVE IT!!

Your driveway made that 7.3 Powerstroke scream for mercy!

You could've maybe picked up the back of the empty trailer and made it easier to get out. Just thinking out loud. Definitely paint the connex camouflage

Coulda used that Kubota to pick up the back end of the trailer and help turn it around...

I delivered shipping containers for over 20yrs and found this very hard to watch.

Paint over the CMA and then change the C to a B on the container . I had great success with shipping containers to me they are a bargain. I agree with Rob Sullivan lots of humidity and condensation so vents and maybe fans

My 2wd 1988 22r Toyota pickup carry 50 bags of cement up a 54 degree slope dirt track with ease

Looking great

That’s a nice tractor but I’m surprised you don’t have a Oliver with a two-stroke Detroit on it. May need to add one of those to your fleet For road maintenance and stuff lol.

This poor guy would never make it backing a big pontoon boat down our super steep curved 150' boat ramp!

You should’ve poured concrete under that that would cause it once that settles That shipping container going to lean

You now have a tornado shelter,[ Lash it down some concrete plugs,made with sauna tubes ,about 3.5 feet deep* 1 foot in diameter, on all four corners,with re barb eye hooks & large cables,hydraulically crimped. * And a storage hut , *BBQ shack ! ! Enjoy Ps : Put in some harbor freight solar lights .Buy a pit bull don't feed it a lot, as trailer mascot.

Nice work!🚌🔧🐵
