I’ve given a lot of thought as to how I’m going to organize the 2nd storage unit, but today I finally started working.
I want this size bed, on a truck that’s drastically shrunk in all other dimensions. I am curious if the Volvo can fit a sheet of plywood with the seats down. Doubtful, but I’ll test it eventually
I am going to need a truck eventually. The whole “mobile workstation” thing is incredible.
Here’s the initial design. Two open boxes with greenery stuffed inside, in an organized manner. Above the boxes will be more storage space, because the lower sections won’t be enough to fit everything.
Figuring out dimensions. Laying everything out helps me brainstorm, and I soon realized there was a much better way...
Use the gear I already have! I removed the inner shelves and used these as walls they’re rated at 7000 lbs, so even without a few beams they should easily hold 500lbs of greenery (at most). The wire shelves make for great threahold/gate thingys
And where I left it. Gotta cut some plywood, make thresholds for the top shelf, and work on the side box, as seen in the first diagram.
This is going to be pretty cool when finished.
I’m not going to, but p art of me wants to build a staircase and turn the entire 20ft long space into a 2 floor unit. Which... Is mind boggling. I feel like I could do that safely, when 9 months ago I’d done zero woodwork besides laminate flooring.

Years ago I had a 10x30 storage unit that was two stories high at the back. I did build a 10x10 storage loft at the back.

Might as well use that space, right?

Yep. It's pretty straightforward. You're basically building a deck on four posts. Don't forget some diagonal shear bracing.

You’re overqualified for this. So when are you starting your next company?

Good question. I need to save up a bit more before thinking about that. I’d prefer to avoid a loan for business expenses , since my credit history only stretches back about 18 months.
Not having a place to park a work vehicle makes it tricky. They’re banned by the HOA, and I don’t trust street parking. I could (maybe, if I’m lucky) r ent a house, but that would put business plans back even further

If I’m here long enough to build more storage units... I’m 100% turning one into a two story place. I bet building a deck on a solid, level foundation would be a ton of fun. Especially when it's covered from the elements!

Why not just rent a space like these storage containers and keep your truck and tools there.

Probably what I'll do. Unfortunately anything big enough nearby is quite pricey, like $500/month, any your technically not supposed to run a business out of them

Probably no cheap land out there to have your own pole barn built either.
