Sometimes small matters matter most. Like warm socks when skiing in fluffy February powder. (Fresh back from an amazing afternoon in the trees!) Or a storage container magically materializing when needed and then evanescing when it becomes and obsolete eyesore. A couple of weeks ago this vital construction resource was removed its garden-side perch after a little more than a year.
You may recollect my relief when the first of two storage containers was removed back in April.
Exciting update: the storage container that’s been serving as our temporary paint station is going, going, gone. One down, one to go.

Nine months later we’ve finally removed the second storage container. And the decluttering high is offering a nice lift.
Why the storage units? Certainly not to complement the Federal, Georgian, and Greek Revival architecture. And certainly not to embellish the gardens and grounds of Rosslyn. No, the storage containers were temporary solutions to workflow demands of the icehouse renovation.
We rented a pair of 20′ storage containers to supplement Rosslyn’s two outbuildings. One storage/shipping container is effectively functioning as a warehouse storing building materials, especially all of the architectural salvage that Pam and Tony inventoried and relocated from the icehouse early last autumn.

As I excerpted above, the other storage container was our temporary paint station. Unsightly though they were, the two storage containers were essential to our construction workflow. I reiterate the gratitude I expressed when the other unit was removed.
Hat tip to A-Verdi Storage Containers for providing not one but two storage containers to provide necessary flex space during the icehouse rehab.

Now that views from the icehouse have been restored, it’s time to shift the storage container to another property where we will once again benefit from flex space during an upcoming construction project. It’s pretty tough to imagine any sizable job without the benefit of auxiliary space, and so we extend our relationship with the good folks at A-Verdi Storage Containers for another renovation. Thanks!
