My 40ft container build day went from disaster to triumph in 4 hours
Last month I finally got my 40ft high cube delivered to my lot outside Boulder. The crane driver showed up at 7am but it was so windy we couldnt lift for 2 hours. Then the forklift guy dented the corner panel on the far end, not huge but visible. I was about to call it a lost cause and reschedule the whole thing. But then by noon the wind died down and my buddy showed up with a battery grinder and we spent 3 hours cutting a new door opening on the opposite side to hide the dent. We also found a small leak where the roof panels meet, patched it with some roofing tar I had in the shed. By 4pm the container was level on its gravel pad and I had lights strung up inside. That corner dent actually forced me to rethink my whole floor plan, now I have a window where I never planned one. Has anyone else had a delivery screw up that turned into a design win? What did you do with the damaged section?
