One Man Got the Surprise of His Life After Digging a Hole on His Property

Anyone who owns a home has felt that yearning to do something extra special with the place. Some homeowners might want to add a pool in their backyard. Others might want to build an extra room for their home. But Wayne Martin had something far more ambitious in mind.

Of course, as far as his neighbors were concerned, all he was doing was digging a big hole in his yard. And yet, that hole was only the beginning of his not so little DIY project.

It All Started With a Hole in the Ground

Most people would have thought that Wayne Martin was building a pool. Why else would he have dug a hole this big in his yard? But it wasn’t a pool he was envisioning and his neighbors got really confused when they saw a 20-foot shipping container being delivered.

The Mystery of Martin’s Hole

None of his neighbors knew what the hole in Martin’s yard was for. All they knew was that he had dug a rectangular shaped hole. Was he building a man-made lake? No. He had no intention of filling the mystery hole with water.

He Ordered a Shipping Container

It turns out that Martin had gone online and ordered himself a 20-foot shipping container for his yard. Now most DIY home renovation projects are quite expensive, but the shipping container didn’t break his bank at all.

Shipping Containers Are Easy to Order

Most folks don’t realize this but shipping containers are easy to order online and they’re pretty affordable. In fact, some companies will offer customers previously used shipping containers that are in decent shape. But none of Martin’s neighbors could figure out why he needed one.
