I was in need of a work shop as building bikes outgrew the garage and running to the cellar to use power tools was getting old. I tried to rent space at local storage places but they do not allow work to be done there. The cheapest garage to rent was $400 a month so I thought I would buy an old camper or try to find one (free stuff on Craigslist, there are normally a few). Take off the camper and make a towable workshop. Last month I noticed this old horse trailer and asked the guy next to it if it was for sale or could be. His exact words; "If you can get it out of here, you can have it." It was full to the roof with tree limbs and mulch. It took me a day to clean it out.
Towed it to the back yard today and am one happy camper!
Now I need to figure out electricity (It is parked a ways out) and windows.
For now am thinking cheap solar for lighting,
Smarthome Solar Powered Floodlight, White - 740121 at The Home Depot
and a small engine and alternator/car battery for power tools.
$ thing, but some day go all solar with it. dunno. Any thoughts?
