Seriously you taught me something I always used a small piece of wood to be my spacers I never thought of using my speed square as one. It's like I'm thinking duh why didn't I use that all along.
Looks good I do recommend putting something underneath the nose of the trailer that it is pretty substantial to keep the landing gear from sinking too when you get stuff in it so it won't tip forward you don't think it will but they do once in awhile to when it rains the landing gear could sink out of sight even with the geofabric under it enjoy your video
Jessie terrific Channel!! I'm glad you don't take 10 minutes 15 minutes to do talk about something that only takes 5 minutes to do. I love the notations on the screen short and to-the-point. Take care God bless wish well for your family all the way from California
depends what he's storing in there, furniture is pretty light, the trailer will be putting more weight on the landing gear then the furniture would add, could certainly just throw some scrap metal or plywood under it or one of those 1x12" live edge boards he has rotting away i think thatd be overkill already i have a 40' equipment trailer with a single central jack and even loaded up with a good 7k of tongue weight the 6x6" foot on that jack wont sink more than a couple inches on soft grass, i throw 2 2x6" about a foot long under it if im in mud
An awesome job Jesse, thinking outside of the box literally! It also helps that family helps you and of course the equipment that you own which is a major help.
I just paid 4200 for a 40’ container in less than good shape plus 300 in rock, and my labor and time to level and clear the spot. So you def saved some $$. Love the content sir.
Surprised at how affordable the trailer is… I know it’s not in amazing condition but it’s a lot of space for the $. Can’t wait to see the rest of the building and moving process!
Now THIS is how you make a video! Perfect length for the subject material, great detail and explanations, and all wrapped up with a conclusion and nice skyline shots. Nice job Jesse and an excellent idea, too.
Perfect for storage. I've seen people live in them. Throw some siding on the ext and all those dents disappear. Dry storage isn't cheap. GOOD LUCK, Vinny 🇺🇸
I have to say Jesse that your ingenuity never ceases to impress me. When you install the lights inside you may want to put a lever action switch on them so they come on as soon as you open the door.
Sure makes sense if you have the equipment to move stuff around and you do have that! Great job Jesse, glad to see you having time to post up your content, sure appreciate the time you take to show us what you are up to. One thing I noticed is that there seems to be a loose bushing in your JD450 undercarriage, if you watch at the 10:06 - 10:07 mark or close you will see it and it moves quite a bit, I would think you will need to address it before it gets damaged further. Cheers, take care and thanks again for your work to bring us along on you projects.
good eye but sometimes that stuff isnt worth fixxing for equipment that might catch 1000hours over the next 20 years.. if its getting worked 40hours a week thats different
Paul and I both agree that BEFORE you detached and unhooked the trailer form the truck, you should of put some treated lumber pieces under the landing gear, since just from the video it looks like the front end had sunk a bit. also would help once you start putting more weight inside of it. Strange as it sounds, many many years ago I used to be in the outdoor amusement business, and so I was also helping with putting pads under the landing gear when we were playing in lots that were not the best and so the trucks wouldn't get stuck..
Hi from the Uk I have a plot of land - slightly smaller than yours, instead of having a bulldozer and back hoe I have a hand held rake and trowel. The window box on my ground floor flat now looks wonderful as I am sure your property will in the not to distance future. Please stay safe, god bless you and your family and please please please keep posting these videos, it does keep us oldies going throughout the epidemic.
Great catch on the top soil. Better to take a few extra minutes and save the premium soil. Because once you have everything in place a nice lawn will bring you a smile every day. The storage trailer is in great idea. Back when I build my house the first think I did was build my shop ,added an extra bay for storage of house materials. But it gave me a place to work out of for the entire project. Very enjoyable content 👍 🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸
I used to deliver storage vans,we used steel plates with handles welded on or 2x8's 2 wide,2 high with a length of rope sandwiched between for a handle. Trailer sandshoes great on pavement but you need extra support to distribute the weight on stone or earth. Hope this helps.
From what I see in this video, it looks like the nose of the trailer will sink into the ground. The sand shoes do not have enough area to support and maintain the level you want, especially when you begin to fill the unit. You'll need to block up the sand shoes with heavy boards and or cement pads. Otherwise you made a great deal here for storage.
A piece of 2' x 2' square 3/4" pressure treated plywood with termite blocks and a 2" by pt piece of wood under each jack will help keep them from sinking in the ground. I used that as a pier system on mobile homes and never had any sink in the mud.
You will have to get some form of plates or planks of wood to put under the trailer legs. Otherwise you will run the risk of the trailer legs sinking into the soft ground as you load the trailer up with your storage items.
Jesse like what you do with the trailer like the ramp...bring some bank run in left in the area to the left hand side of your ramp so you come back and pick up right up to the edge of it....... or step down ramp equal with your flatbed so can drag stuff up in there.........like a compactor snow blower or a bucket that’s number one,,,, number two I moved in to a couple storage unit,,, I took two by fours and OSB and screwed all the shelves together with torque screws,, when I move out the storage unit two by fours are all 12 and 10 feet long,,, ,I’ll be using for something else to build shelves wherever I decide to land,,, great idea and what you’re doing keep up the great work junkman duo
"You're good," as that limb is snapped by the trailer. Sure, watching Jesse fix something is fun, especially for a guy who can barely screw in a lightbulb. But it's the little things in this channel that I enjoy the most. I live on Long Island Sound and have casted many times with nothing but frustration. Your son lands HUGE fish from your jet ski(?) pond. LOL. I love watching this journey.
This was from the front pond, uncle Lucas has spent the last 3 years stocking it and keeping the weeds at bay. Now I have a fishing buddy every time he comes to work with his dad. There is a few 5 + pounders in there that he has already caught this year.
As a lot of the other people have said, get some support und the trailer dollies, or they will sink in the ground for sure! They look to be already sinking with just the empty trailer weight, and as you load it up, they will sink out of sight! Support the front of the trailer with the track hoe bucket, crank up the dollies, and slide some R/R ties under them, to spread the load out, and crank the dollies back down to level the trailer out! That way if the R/R ties sink a little bit over time you just have to crank the dollies to maintain level!
You were talking about putting wood underneath I would do that but put wood Laodice on the side where the rain hits then your whole other side is open to grab material. For the door on the left maybe build a 3ft platform in case you need to cut or weld something quick you don't have to pull the stuff all the way down the ramp.
You need so support under the front on the simi trailer, the nose landing gear ⚙️ will sink right into the dirts with weight in its, nice thanks, BigAl California.
You should park the trailer with the front of the trailer higher than the rear doors so that rain water drains out the back and not collect inside if it leaks. Ask me how I know? Lol!
Measure the distance between the 5th wheel plate and the ground and cut yourself a thick log to wedge between them. That way theres a bit more support if the landing gear starts to sink and theres no risk of the trailer nose diving.
WOW 3000 for a sea can?Up here in northeast ontario,6500 for a 40 can.1500.00 Can. for a dry van.I did exactly as you did.Bought a dry storage on my last move due to long term storage costs.Kept the trailer after the move,all my skidsteer attachments sat underneath out of the weather.You can't get cheaper storage if you have the room,and keep them out of sight.Good job.
I dont know how solid your gravel base is but I would have some paving slabs under the front legs so they dont dig into the ground. Great idea to use this instead of a shipping container plus half the cost - sweet.
that jack knife you did at about 1:20 gave me chills, when I was in CDL school the instructor had me do a hard jack knife like that but the airlines got caught under the cat walk and ripped them off the trailer. we were in the school yard so it wasn't that bad, but still watching your lines was killing me. bringing back bad memories.
Nicely done! Looks like some nice storage you got there! If its dry that's all that matters! I'd say the only benefit with the shipping containers is they are a little tougher which allows you to stack them also. But for what your doing that extra space underneath is a added bonus for sure!
yes i got two of them i did put shelving in one and put it on railway ties so i can store my truck /tractor and parts it's unreal the price difference well done
53' is a lot of space but if you need to leave an aisle to maintain access to everything you lose a lot. Some trailers have side doors that can allow you to get in to the middle if the end is blocked. For storage that you need to get in to instead of just fill and empty, side doors can help a lot. I have used one before and I have a good size lot but I don't have a place to store one discreetly. Anything like that or a shipping container would be a very viable eyesore so I can't.
Enjoyed your video, Jesse. Also, appreciate the info. I'm making a move soon and I was wondering how the shipping container compared to a cargo trailer. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience. Appreciate your work ethics and view of life. You and your family are an encouraging inspiration. Blessings Brother. ☝️🙏🙌✝️🇺🇸🎯
Hi buddy good job looks like to use all of your machinery to do this job it’s good to Give them all a good run wonderful job mate once again Cliff from Queensland Australia
Getting enuff rain..? Boy.. no small task to pad for your storage , soft ground and plenty of water making your pushes , paths and making sure to fit trailer on the way...lol Next phase , can't wait to see you form up house....
At first I was like Naah... After watching... You convinced me... Good Job.... Would do some additional Leg support and cover the tires to keep from Dry Rotting.
Add footings, build a block wall on three sides of the trailer then take away wheels and rest the trailer on the block wall. Sell wheels and you have a fully stable store place with a dry underside.
If your luck runs like mine as soon as you get that 53 foot box fully loaded you will need something you first put in it!!! Condensation could be a problem. One reason I like refrigerated boxes. I would also use some rock up under the landing gear to spread the load if that crushed gets wet. Even a couple pieces of 2' x2' steel under each of them would make a great difference.
Terrific Channel Jessie!!! You explain while to the point don't take 10 or 15 minutes to explain a three-minute job. I love the short notations. God bless take care of you and your family all the way from California. P.s. you probably already planned this too but cover your tires do yourself a favor.
I like it. little concerned on the trailer legs sinking into the ground over time but you got the heavy equipment to handle that!
...lookin' good, have a great weekend, stay safe..
Seriously you taught me something I always used a small piece of wood to be my spacers I never thought of using my speed square as one. It's like I'm thinking duh why didn't I use that all along.
Yes, that tip will come in handy for me for sure.
I learned a thing or two watching this as well.
Looks good I do recommend putting something underneath the nose of the trailer that it is pretty substantial to keep the landing gear from sinking too when you get stuff in it so it won't tip forward you don't think it will but they do once in awhile to when it rains the landing gear could sink out of sight even with the geofabric under it enjoy your video

Yup it’ll sink for sure, maybe a stack of pallets under the nose to spread the weight.
Agreed. They'll sink right through the bitumen here in summertime. We use big metal plates.
depends what he's storing in there, furniture is pretty light, the trailer will be putting more weight on the landing gear then the furniture would add, could certainly just throw some scrap metal or plywood under it or one of those 1x12" live edge boards he has rotting away i think thatd be overkill already
i have a 40' equipment trailer with a single central jack and even loaded up with a good 7k of tongue weight the 6x6" foot on that jack wont sink more than a couple inches on soft grass, i throw 2 2x6" about a foot long under it if im in mud
I and my husband, Jerry are moving to Leesburg Florida. I need it. I love it.
appreciate the camera work and variety of content. keep it coming. nice job.
Great video 👍Jessie not only did we know about the new storage trailer but we know what's on the menu big fish!
An awesome job Jesse, thinking outside of the box literally! It also helps that family helps you and of course the equipment that you own which is a major help.
I just paid 4200 for a 40’ container in less than good shape plus 300 in rock, and my labor and time to level and clear the spot. So you def saved some $$. Love the content sir.
Surprised at how affordable the trailer is… I know it’s not in amazing condition but it’s a lot of space for the $. Can’t wait to see the rest of the building and moving process!
Now THIS is how you make a video! Perfect length for the subject material, great detail and explanations, and all wrapped up with a conclusion and nice skyline shots. Nice job Jesse and an excellent idea, too.
Great that you saved that topsoil. Look some what rich too. You amaze me with how well you do things.
The truck sounds awesome!
Great video Jesse another great benefit with the trailer is no condensation like shipping containers have!!
Great video-No nonsense and very pragmatic - Jesse always gets the job done.
Perfect for storage. I've seen people live in them. Throw some siding on the ext and all those dents disappear. Dry storage isn't cheap. GOOD LUCK, Vinny 🇺🇸
Good vid liked seeing ur son catch bass from pond🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍔🍔🍔
I have to say Jesse that your ingenuity never ceases to impress me. When you install the lights inside you may want to put a lever action switch on them so they come on as soon as you open the door.

Great job Jesse, glad to see you having time to post up your content, sure appreciate the time you take to show us what you are up to.

Cheers, take care and thanks again for your work to bring us along on you projects.
good eye but sometimes that stuff isnt worth fixxing for equipment that might catch 1000hours over the next 20 years.. if its getting worked 40hours a week thats different
Cover those tires so they don’t rot in the sun and go flat. I wish I had the room for storage like that!!!
Great video! That fish was awesome your son caught. Great ideas for this. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. ❤ 😃👍

what a great idea, making me rethink the use of a shipping container. I would use something under the front legs to stop them sinking into the ground.
Chip away brother! Happy to see it.
Great idea .Lots of storage too ..Love n Light 🥰
Great video Jesse. Cannot wait till the next one. Have a great weekend.
Almost at 100k. Congratulations

Morning cofffees on! Enjoying !!Cheers!;-)!
Smart and rational with this idea but more so that you have the space and equipment to make it easier and cost effective, Good luck sir.
$1350... man that's awesome. You're right about the shipping containers- they are pricey.
I saw that good topsoil when you were dozing and thought, "Man you ought to save that." I guess you had the same thought.
I used to deliver storage vans,we used steel plates with handles welded on or 2x8's 2 wide,2 high with a length of rope sandwiched between for a handle.

This is a great idea. Lots of storage for a good price.
You might wanna put something solid under the landing gear feet...before they start sinking.
Good plan Jesse and explaining everything makes it very interesting. Bob. NZ.
Good for you Jesse. Things are shaping up.
Nice secure ramp! Sure jump starts your heart riding a ramp down that pops off the end.
"You're good," as that limb is snapped by the trailer. Sure, watching Jesse fix something is fun, especially for a guy who can barely screw in a lightbulb.

Not only interesting content , the 80s cop show music at 16:00 is awesome
This is a great idea for storage. I chose this platform over a container to build my mancave in the woods.
what a great idea for the price and size good job 2-3 months ago the ramp would have cost 3 time the cost of the trailer
As a lot of the other people have said, get some support und the trailer dollies, or they will sink in the ground for sure! They look to be already sinking with just the empty trailer weight, and as you load it up, they will sink out of sight!

That way if the R/R ties sink a little bit over time you just have to crank the dollies to maintain level!
Jesse is livin the SnowRunner lifestyle
“No Clutch Needed” Jesse. Nice shift work brutha
Nice work. I think this trailer makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the video.

For the door on the left maybe build a 3ft platform in case you need to cut or weld something quick you don't have to pull the stuff all the way down the ramp.
I would paint it flat white inside, that way it's easier to light up and find stuff in and it's less dark dungeon feely inside. :-)
You need so support under the front on the simi trailer, the nose landing gear ⚙️ will sink right into the dirts with weight in its, nice thanks, BigAl California.

I dont know how solid your gravel base is but I would have some paving slabs under the front legs so they dont dig into the ground. Great idea to use this instead of a shipping container plus half the cost - sweet.
I will probably use some real thick wood slabs for the feet, as it is only temporary
Thanks Jesse. Another good one. Enjoy all your videos. Can’t wait future future uploads.

its only a bad memory if someone got hurt. otherwise it was a lesson on how to route the lines

Sounds like the ole red tops at my previous job. Some made over 500HP
Old wreckers
Paint the inside walls white, to reflect lighting.
Nice job jesse
A new video! Rum and Coke engaged, keep the videos coming!
Interesting camera lens.
If you wrap the whole bottom half of the trailer in black plastic too that will make even more dryer underneath. 👈😉👍
Really nice, well done project. Seems like it will suit you needs for moving and maybe for business purposes in the future.
Enjoyed your video, Jesse. Also, appreciate the info. I'm making a move soon and I was wondering how the shipping container compared to a cargo trailer.

Like the setup . Around here ,midwest a 20' is 3k delivered and a 40 is close to 4k.
Those Paslode framing nailers are great
Is there anything you guys can’t do brill.👍👍👍
Agree with others, you need to put something under the trailer legs to stop them sinking, something like a railway sleeper would be ideal.
Great job
Miramos los videos desde ARGENTINA ..
ya you make me to want to feel the full langth of myself today
Now I am eyeing trailers instead, good points on their use
More good content, JM. I wish I had your talent...
I wish I had his equipment!
Terrific Channel Jessie!!! You explain while to the point don't take 10 or 15 minutes to explain a three-minute job. I love the short notations. God bless take care of you and your family all the way from California. P.s. you probably already planned this too but cover your tires do yourself a favor.
the dry vans are also wider and taller than any shipping container.
One thing about working for you, it's something different everyday.
That's one hell of a bargain well done!!
