The written wish list

[craigb]

I'm trying to track some of them down. There was a guy advertising in the local paper last year but he has disappeared. Any ideas on where to get one (or three)? I initially want one so I can store all my tools and stuff in while the new shed is getting built. I thought it would then make a good storage/wood shed down the track.

Have a look in the Yellow Pages under:

Home > WHERE: New South Wales > WHAT: Cargo & Freight Containers &/or Services >

Turned up several companies that sell containers. Most have web sites too.

Turns out there's only one mob from Sydney that come down here (according to Yellow Pages postcode search). They want $2600 for a reconditioned 20 footer plus $770 for delivery. There is one in Canberra, which is a bit closer, so I might try them.

Yellow pages under Cargo & Freight Containers for Sale or Hire.

Yes I must admit, Elimbah has a "down town",but is at at the Beerburrum end or Caboolture end?
Condamine's got a pub!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it's own)

Bruce,

Elimbah's downtown has a newsagent, fast-food joint with petrol bowsers, a bakery and a computer store, but no pub; downtown is at the Beerburrum end. In recent years, virtually all the country between the railway and the Bruce Highway has been carpeted with MacMansions, and Elimbah is now on the northern edge of the urban footprint of Brisbane, according to the latest planning report.

Reckon if you painted one black and used exhust fans in the right places you would get a neat solar kiln cheap.

SilentC,

Wouldn't it be more economical and safer to store your tools in a storage facility like National Storage? I put my valuables in one of their storage lockers whenever I travel.

We do have one of those storage mobs here. I don't know how much they charge but we will probably find out when we move unless we can rent a big house.

I'm thinking more about the stuff I will need while building the shed so that I don't have to cart it all out there every weekend. Looking at the prices I've found so far, I think I will just buy a garden shed, put a padlock on it, and hope 'the family' don't get to know about it.

Jeez mate, you country people are a trusting lot.

Lets see, a garden shed on a (presumably) isolated bush block, only protected by a padlock. :eek:

May as well paint a sign on it saying "Goodies inside, please steal".

Or would that only happen in Sydney?

[silentC]

Did I mention the rabid Rottweiler chained outside the door and the man trap and spike pit just inside?

But seriously, it's not a huge problem around here. I have mentioned 'the family' in another thread. Apart from them, it's mostly vandalism. The druggies aren't such a problem down here because they just go out in the bush and grow their own I admit I'd feel better about it if the stuff was in a nice solid shipping container than if it was in a sheetmetal shed though.

If anyone knicked anything, they'd have to take it out of the area to sell it otherwise word would get around and heads would get kicked.
