Got a bill from the conex people today. Soup-to-nuts, $5295. That includes delivery along the goat trail that passes for a road. I went up there last weekend and marked off where I’d like them to drop it. Next Wednesday is the scheduled delivery day.

This will be one of the more expensive additions to the place this year. But, I am hoping it affords me the convenience of leaving some stuff up there in a reasonably secure environment.*

The geegaw to let me use a bottle jack to lift the corners will be arriving today. So next weekends plan is to pick up some concrete block and some flat scrap steel and jack the bloody thing up off the ground a foot or so. And, of course, fix it so nothing tries to make a home underneath.

Ideally, this will let me avoid renewing my lease on a storage unit where I keep the side-by-side and some other small odds and ends.

However, this is all contingent on these guys getting it up there, in the right place, pointed in the right direction, and on time. We’ll see.

* = Yes, I know nothing is ‘secure’ when someone has all the time in the world to break into something. But, you know what? It’s more secure than it not being there.  And, for now, theres not going to be anything more valuable than a few power tools in there and some assorted odds and ends.
