[@okanagansawmill]

Looking forward to seeing how this piece of property develops over the next 12 months, Keep up the hard work!

[@gregsecore9625]

this channel is getting much better I like it a lot, can't wait to see your other projects coming to reality that will be really nice

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@KentDiego]

Nice job. I like that it is up off the ground.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Definitely

[@thedelcodave]

You are embarking on an incredible journey I look forward following along with your progress.

6:20 I was surprised the dozer struggled. Congrats on your land purchase. Looks nice !

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Yeah me too

[@michaelovitch]

@@Dumpster_Dave You need to attach the chain the closest possible to the pivot point from the bucket,under it. Chaining from the top of the bucket at the higher spot is adding a lot of length so reducing a lot of weight capacity,specialy with fully tilted buket.

[@cyumadbrosummit3534]

That container is close to 9,000 pounds a loader that size that takes a 72-80 inch bucket could never see that much weight in soil or rock. Containers are not light I was surprised it hoisted it.

[@michaelovitch]

@@cyumadbrosummit3534 The break out force on this machine is around 5 tons, the container is 8690lbs (3.9 tons) The machine could have lifted on side (around half the container weight) way easier if the chain was closer to the bucket pin,under it. You generally install lifting hooks at the base of the bucket close to the pin for this reason (max lift capacity here.)

Nice project.

[@casycasy5199]

good luck on the new property

[@3cl1]

Nice work placing the container.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Thanks

[@josephsfields]

Hope you get after it dave. Lot's of projects you can film now that you got the container.

[@joedominick7517]

Dave small steps leads to big gains!

[@AdelinoGambiarras]

That's a pretty nice sise container il be coming very handy until you settle.

[@brotherbruce]

I used to trust string levels but then discovered they are worthless. You are brave to do the commercial property venture. The County can be so difficult. Zoning, road access and culverts, storm water runoff, set backs, etc. The big boys can fund the council's pet projects and grease the process. That is hard for a guy starting out. Good luck.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Yeah I’m already having issues

[@3kkk2]

You can give the door on the contailer some oil :)

[@bobbruin44]

Hi Dave, I hope your dream comes true. Peace

Now let’s see what kind of visitors move in 😅

[@oldodger]

I have a couple of those seacans, and I like them....a little oil on those hinges will go a long way.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Yeah I have ti do that

[@MattyDardani]

Oh you think you are going to achieve true level with a bubble Dave? Just wait, I got you.😏😏

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Lol bust out the laser level

[@AndrewHollywood]

I got the joke matty. He never experienced true level.

[@garycadieux9649]

Get the plans from Andrew for his castle and then modify to make a smaller version

[@andrewmoore3491]

@Dumpster Dave what’s the plan to put inside all those shipping containers? Thx.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

It’s a secret

[@EverythingElliott]

Dave, Curious to know, would one of those containers run on one of your roll off trucks? using a chain as the loop to the hook on the truck? I see you lifted one, but why not transport one on the truck? Length being the issue?

[@kieranosullivan02]

I was thinking the same. You could probably do it but doesn't mean you should 😂

[@Dumpster_Dave]

I can move a 20’ long 8’ high with my flatbed

[@stephengalante2973]

@@Dumpster_Dave here me and my buddy moves 20 foot shipping containers on his roll off trucks all the time and he just slides them on his rails

[@SmittysShop]

Nice job, Dave! I'm curious how much moisture you will get on the inside ceiling. I have four 20 footers and have been trying to perfect venting them to keep the moisture in check!

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Mine has vents at the top

[@666alcky]

how much did the forty footer cost you dropped?

[@Dumpster_Dave]

$3100 delivered

[@666alcky]

damn, good price@@Dumpster_Dave

[@patrickbussey6624]

How much dose a used one of those go for?

[@Dumpster_Dave]

$3100 delivered

[@wildscotsman1]

I would soak those boards in any old oil you have, otherwise they will rot and put your levels out.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

They’re pressure treated

[@wildscotsman1]

That's good then Dave @@Dumpster_Dave

Love your work but just hate the music,. Be original, do not copy other you tubers I will come back next year to see if the music has improved.

[@Dumpster_Dave]

Just don’t watch the intro or outro then you won’t hear music
