Buyer, Agriculture, Minco, OK
"I want to store tools and lumber at a site where I am doing construction but am not there all the time. The site is up a drive that curves. The truck should be as short as possible. I would need the container to be tilted off. I don't have a big fork lift.My office is in NC, but the container will be delivered near Paintsville, KY (41240) That's about 2 hours east of Lexington. I would meet the truck. Thanks."

"I am investigating the possibility of using excess storage containers for the purpose of constructing tornado & fire resistant single family housing & apartment buildings. Others are already doing this type of construction with good success. I would desire rust proofing & paint -- a variety of sizes & door styles. At this point, I would be interested in purchasing a few, but if all goes well, I would purchase in greater quantity in the future for larger projects."
