Purchased with SBD!
Now, this wasn’t a direct trade, but I did cash out some SBD and convert it to USD which I used to purchase this shipping container. Since we have had a storage unit for almost two years and since we wanted on site storage anyway, we thought this was the way to go.
In our struggle to fight against recurring bills, getting rid of the storage unit is a must. These shipping containers can come in handy, and they can always be sold later if they outgrow their use.
FINALLY!
We had been wanting one of these for a while now. If we would have bought it even a few months back, it could have saved us hundreds of dollars on our storage unit rent. After shopping around, the guy we went with was about $500 less than anyone else we could find. Many are selling for $3000 or more in our area.
However, there was a slight waiting game, since the guy we got ours from had sent most of his trucks to Texas to help out with Hurricane Harvey… and then to Florida to help out with Hurricane Irma. When I got the call Monday saying that they should be able to get one to me on Wednesday, I was excited. Then, when I got the call on Tuesday saying they could get me one in a few hours, I was busy, but certainly willing to accommodate.
IT’S NEVER EASY!
Here you can see the shipping container being dropped in a spot that is not where I wanted it. Actually, this isn’t even on my property!
You see, the guys loaded it on the trailer backwards. They even specifically asked which way I needed it facing when they dropped it, but still put it on the other way.
Since they were only trying to drop one for me, only a driver came. Normally they have a crew for things like loading a container. If you’re wondering why I’m in the driver’s seat of the guy’s truck and why my helpful neighbor (who’s also the father of ) is on top of the trailer with the controls, it’s because we had to make up the missing manpower needed to drop and reload the container.
HOME SWEET HOME
Eventually, we got it facing the correct direction and reloaded. The 20 second video above is one that I made as we were finally moving it to the land.
After all the work that I put in, it was great to have the shipping container finally on site. @Grandpa-pepper had helped cut down trees in this area, the had picked rocks, and
helped me level off a site for it.
In fact, even came over to help me make some minor adjustments. I guess moving the shipping container a few feet this way or that way may not seem very minor, but now I know how to operate a front end loader with a backhoe attachment, remember?

Yup, I was in good company and hard at work with the necessary tools to get the job done. It’s such a blessing to have such friends and equipment available!
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Always being ones to observe and learn, the lined up some chair nearby so that they could watch the action. These are the memories that will stick with them in the years to come.
Not only did the make their way down, the lovely
did too! In fact, she took a lot of the backhoe photos. Soon,
and her will be sorting through a lot of our older possessions and seeing what makes its way into the container.
My family wasn’t the only people watching, check out . That guy can supervise like a boss! LOL! Actually, he’s the one with the know-how on a lot of stuff; I’m just another tool that he uses to get the job done.
THE LIFE-CHANGING REALITY OF STEEMIT
Not all that long ago, had no clue about social media, the internet, blogging, or cryptocurrency. I set out to learn more and apply what I learned, and, thanks to steemit, now things like this are possible.
Personally, I highly favor selling SBD to convert to fiat because there is less potential of exponential growth in value than there is with STEEM.
What you have just seen above is a huge difference made in our lives because of the opportunity that steemit offers us.
Before I give you my short, "If I can do it, you could too" speech, I will mention that it has taken me an incredible amount of effort and a lot of time invested in steemit to be able to receive the kind of rewards that made this purchase possible. However, as you can clearly see, dreams have become a reality to thanks to steemit!
Anyway, yesterday was obviously a busy and eventful day for us. In the end, it was a huge step forward. We’ll keep you posted as we continue to progress.
