Not quite sure a shipping container would fit the general design element of the neighborhood.
The tent is pushing the limits but is hidden by the deck.
As a logistics matter, I'm not sure they could actually get one to my house.
It would have to be a bob trailer to be able to negotiate all of the turns in the driveway and street.
I was seriously contemplating extending the garage another bay but moving is more likely.

Didn't catch that at first look.

Bill there are a few homes like that (ad) about a mile from my house, on 1-2 acres. They list for around $850,000. That one would be snapped up in a flash.

The far end of the tent did get some snow, it's not quite fully covered by the deck.
No big deal though, went inside and brushed it off.
Might have to be attentive in big snows.

When I read it it made me wonder so i gave it a quick check and appears to be fine.
A little snow gets under the end but not a big concern.

Finally got a round to hooking up the battery tender on the toy yesterday.
The tent did do a good jobs of collecting a lot of rain water in one top corner.
I'll have to do a tweak so it won't collect.
With the wild swing in temps and humidity I did get an incredible amount of condensation on everything in the tent. Grrrr.
