As others have already said, you have a couple options. The easiest is to just use a barbed fitting and two stainless steel worm-drive clamps to hold it on. It is simple and inexpensive and doesn't require any tools other than a screwdriver or hex driver.

Every well I've ever dealt with used black polyethylene tubing for the horizontal run. Poly tubing will have a larger ID than PEX will and should be significantly cheaper. If you're concerned about shower pressure when the sprinklers come on, use a large pressure tank or multiple pressure...

This is what I did, outside, on a windy day. The edge I cut was going against a wall so I wasn't concerned about "perfect," but the cut turned out nicely regardless.

Cut the back side, not the front.

I used 2x8's. I have a 12" long piece on top of a 18" long piece, on top of a 24" long piece, on top of a 30" long piece. I glued and screwed them together. I can either drive up the "steps" or I can flip them over so the 30" long piece is the ramp and drive up it until the ramp levels out...

A sponge will dry quicker than closed cell hiding the water up against the wood/OSB. The sponge will also drip once it gets wet enough, indicating that you have a leak. Closed cell can hide a leak until it has caused enough damage to show from the outside. Open and closed cell foams are...

I built the house myself, so I think I can handle installing a pellet stove. There are 4 Harman platinum dealers close to here.

@BigNuge and @sparky 1971 thanks for the feedback. I'm leaning strongly towards a Harman (same parent company as Quadrafire) P43 for the smaller size/capacity and long-lasting capability. The P43 has been around for ages and is highly recommended across the forums of the Internet. It's about...

At our last house, the previous owners put a fireplace insert pellet stove in the basement. It was a Whitfield unit. I disliked that the slot you fed pellets into was so narrow and up against the bricks so it was difficult to fill and it was old enough it didn't have an auto ignition...

I'm almost done building my house. I don't need a pellet stove for any reason and I'm purposely not installing it before the final inspection. What my wife wants is a pellet stove on the first floor. The first floor is wide open and 36x36 with off-set stairs in the centerline and a small...

I was going to mention using a door closer, too. I love them on the entry door you use the most because you can carry stuff in and not have to close the door after setting things down. The last one I bought was about $40 and if you pushed it beyond 90 degrees (and it would stop before 100...

I had that one as well. Aiming it at the tower about 5 miles away didn't give me any better service than I already had. I actually had this one mounted on a flag pole and I could turn it based on the day (weather, foliage, etc.) to change the signal a little bit between different towers, but...

Same. I've had the $1300 Weboost system with a directional antenna and the carrier-specific bandwidth. I had the $1000 Wilson Electronics with the directional antenna as well. Both of them basically didn't help at all. Both of them died within a year of owning them and I didn't even notice...

A standing patio heater might work well for heating your work space and being safe around your work as well...

That is what I'm doing.

It might be worthwhile to just wait and build a shop first and move the sea container later after it is empty. I wouldn't mind using it and my other container to build a carport for my tractor or something between them in the future.

Let's suppose I used my tractor to pull on a chain that is attached to the bottom corners and then used a bunch of poles to roll this thing on...how would I make the turn(s)? How many poles do you think I would need underneath to roll it?

Dragging it with the 963 might wind up being the easiest solution. Here in the eastern panhandle of WV, we don't often have frozen ground lasting more than the overnight hours. The biggest issue is going to be my nice new driveway. I have to cross it if I'm going to drag it along in the...

There isn't room behind it to get a landoll trailer in there and to get room in front of it, we'd have to take down a wire fence (easy) and move another sea container out of the way :D The clip on wheels look nice, but probably cost well more than a craigslist mobile home axle. I'll look into...

I've been living in a camper for 3 years on my parents' farm and I'm nearing completion of the house I'm building on the farm. I've been using a 40' sea container as my shop the whole time. Although I'll have a garage in the house, it won't be a working garage and I don't want to clutter it up...
