Shed moving

The plan was to move the shed onto it’s new spot today, on the left side of this picture. The shed was over to the right and needs to be moved about sixty feet or so to it’s new location.

Hookup

I hooked a chain onto two corners of the shed and onto Skiddy’s bucket and pulled it near it’s spot.

The shed is in it’s new spot, but needs some slight adjustment to get it right where I think I want it.

I moved the chain to two more of the shed’s corner’s for one last little adjustment.

One last little pull and that should do it.

The shed is looking good in it’s new spot.

Leveling it up

Now I needed to level the shed up so I used a digging bar and some blocks to left it up and used a level to level up the inside of the shed and blocked it into this level position.

Once I had it all leveled up, I shoveled some rock under the steel foundation pieces which will hold it in place when I take the blocks out.

The Kat checked it all out. It’s leveled up and now I’ll need to get some more rock to bring up the rock floor a bit, but not today.

Nice day.

Getting rock

I needed to get some rock to fill this spot in so I can move this shed to a better spot.

Tom hauls rock

Tom helped me out by using his tractor to haul rock in our dump trailer to the spot, from here. Skiddy loaded up the rock.

He hauled a few loads of rock down to the spot, I was thirsty, so I walked down this trail while he was away delivering the rock to get a drink of water at a spring.

The spring is just past these big redwood trees.

Spring water

I got a good cup of spring water here and walked on back to where Skiddy was waiting to load more rock.

I think Tom hauled six or seven loads of rock and I hauled a scoop full of rock in Skiddy on the return trip back to  my house.

Now I needed to smooth the rock out, but first I needed to move the shed a bit to get it out of the way for the work.

But first I needed to move all the stuff out of it for the move, so I got that done.

Skiddy drags the shed

Then I chained Skiddy to the shed with a big chain so I could pull it out of the way. The shed has a steel foundation so it is strong enough to move as that is the way I designed it when I built it, just in case I ever had to  move it, such as now.

I drug the shed to get it out of the way.

That should do it, it’s out of the way now.

With the shed moved it’s now time to level the rock out a bit.

I worked on smoothing the rock out and almost have it good enough.

I’ll work on smoothing it out some more tomorrow and then move the shed back to it’s new spot.

Nice day.
