One Down, One to Go

Exciting update: the storage container that’s been serving as our temporary paint station is going, going, gone. One down, one to go.

Remember the workflow challenge we were grappling with in the late autumn / early winter? Insufficient heated, climate controlled shop space.

Priming and painting thousands of linear feet of interior and exterior finish lumber requires temperature and moisture stability not currently available in the unheated carriage barn, nor outside during a North Country winter. The solution? Meet our makeshift workshop in a storage container! (Source: Makeshift Workshop in Storage Container)

Hat tip to A-Verdi Storage Containers for providing not one but two storage containers to provide necessary flex space during the icehouse rehab.

We rented a pair of 20′ storage containers to supplement Rosslyn’s two outbuildings. One storage/shipping container is effectively functioning as a warehouse storing building materials, especially all of the architectural salvage that Pam and Tony inventoried and relocated from the icehouse early last autumn.

As of yesterday we’ve satisfied our need for the paint shop storage container, so it’s been retrieved. Sayonara. One down, one to go… Bravo, Pam, for juggling workspace capacity with dexterity!
