Things built, torn down and other projects.(Pictures)

@Orangeslice13 , I have a 12’ by 10’ wooden outbuilding that I want to move ~4 ft. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Is it on skids?

It sits atop concrete blocks - two four by fours beneath the floor framing. I’ll send a pic, later.

For reasons unfathomable to me, the pictures are posting sideways.

Is that a 4x4 post or skid ?
either way moving it will be easy.

How far do we need to go?

Teaching the 15 year old how to repair drywall. Maybe if he hit the boards a little more during basketball season, he wouldn't have hit the wall after the game.

Wife is at park with 7 year. Mom is trying to teach her to hang upside down on the playground equipment. I'll be at the ER within the hour...

One suggestion... if you tip back upright it will slide on rollers nicely.





Low hanging fruit.... could not resist

~4 ft forward of present position.

EZ!

EZ!

I'm hoping for a descriptive how to - equipment recommended et al.

Slice probably has a better solution than I.

I moved two of them with the use of eye bolts and a chain. Skidded one about 500 feet and the other 150 feet with my tractor.

If you are moving it 4 feet forward, eye bolts, a chain and a tractor (Preferred) or a 4wd truck. Place 3 three or four rounded landscape timbers on the ground under heath and in front. Use a hydraulic floor jack on a piece of 3/4" plywood and jack up the shed one side at a time. Remove block and lower shed onto the timbers. Pull shed to desired location. Jack it back up, block and level.

Thanks, Mal. I'll await Slice's input.

Edit: I don't have a tractor.

This is pretty much it
Eye bolts, a chain and an F250 4x4.
Honestly I’d probably put 4 4x4 ground contact rated skids evenly placed under the shed. Lower it off the posts onto a piece of plywood to keep it from digging in and drag it the 4 feet. I’d likely not put it back up on posts. And just leave it on the skids. Level it up and call it done.

@buckfama, how about an update? What's happening? Whatcha doin'?

 

[NEVolFan]

Progress on a rocker switch panel to control running lights, new electric downrigger, fish finder, other as I think about it (music).

Where it sits in the canoe... waiting on the arrival of the rocker panel, and downrigger. Rain here every day for the past 2-3 weeks. Can't get much done.

 

[Tin Man]

@buckfama, how’s it going?

we've had a bad backyard drainage issue since we moved here. I've committed to fixing this late summer. Going to place 4 catch basins attached to a main line that has a pop up emitter closer to street. Bought a trench shovel and did a test run this afternoon to gauge difficulty

Be sure to call 311 (before you dig) before having to call 911.
