somebody asked the other day about it. i’ve had these caps sitting around for years. i knew they would come in handy for something eventually. just need about 4 more.

ya wind up on this hill is stiff. i’m going to sink some stakes on both sides and ratchet strap them down. that should suffice for here

That's actually a pretty sweet idea... you can find truck caps around for pretty cheap

My HOA would never go for this, but have any of you used a surplus shipping container for storage?
Inelegant perhaps, but seemingly effective.

i have not used shipping containers but they would work i'm sure. these truck caps can usually be found for less than 100 bucks or free around here. i am now on the lookout for them. i also got the used concrete blocks for free. while they may not be the most elegant storage, they fit right in with my place. no HOA's around here. and the neighbors (deer, turkey, squirrel, etc) don't seem to mind. mice might be a problem but i will keep a close eye on them. i need to research some sort of mouse repellent to sprinke around underneath.

Shipping container would be mouse, insect and water proof. Not as cheep as a truck cap but a whole lot more room and permanent. Just had one delivered and set, 20' for $3500 with 2 year guarantee.

for keeping mr mouse away; we have used cayenne pepper around equipment in the barns and it has worked very well

You can feed them expired soda pop and it blows them up from the inside As long as it’s out side it works, better than antifreeze it kills anything that eats the leftover mouse ! (Cats-birds).

Antifreeze killing animals is old school. That was outlaws years ago.

Just pour it in a bowl and set it out? Wouldn’t it go flat then be ineffective?

 

[Mark Evans]

Set it out right before dark and they come to that sugar like water goes down hill, they can’t pass gas, and they get a pain full before it’s over to pay back on that wiring damage !!!!!

 

[Mark Evans]

Only thing worse is antifreeze mixed with drano but keep dog and birds away !!!! That’s for those big 35 lbs Creek bottom wood pile saber rats !!!!

When I worked for West Texas Cat the big equipment would get wiring damage and I would take drano/dry red devil toilet drain additive and cookie dough wrapped up with bacon grease and leave big rolls inside the dozers, scrapers, and grader’s always got them !!!! Make sure the grease is on the out side and vent your noise away from the fumes !!!
