Bicycles, Laundry and Toilet Paper...

So we had an older, but still quite serviceable, 40 foot container that we ended up deciding to not use in the new workshop plans... and we had a need for a place for storage for bicycles and supplies for The Maine Stay cabanas. But it certainly didn't need to be 40 feet! So I said to Jose... can you cut it in half? He said "sure." So we did some measuring and some head scratching about where to put this thing... and a few days later Jose used the acetylene torch and, believe it or not, mostly a Skil Saw to cut the container in half! Of course, both halves were not in the place we needed them to be... so they had to be moved... a story I told you about earlier. Now in place, it just needed to be fixed up...

The open end was framed in and closed with zinc roofing, and a bathroom for the security guards makes up one end. 

                    

A shed roof allowed the bike storage area to be made, and the inside of the container was fixed up to make the laundry/storage area. 

And voila... the new Bicycle, Laundry and Storage building... which we shortened to "The Bike Shed."
