skidding a small building

[Soundguy]

I've moved small buildings with fence posts.. round ones.. just keep putting them in front of the building, and bring the ones forward as it rolls off of them.. Hoved a 12x24 aluminum storageshed that way about ?15 ys ago..

We want to see some real action... bring in a heavy lift helicopter and swing it into place.

When we were moving to our current place, I wanted to take a playhouse that I built for my doughter. It is 2 story with full insulation and electricity (at least upstairs, the bottom is just storage). This was in the days before I had a tractor. I used a car jack and slid 4x8 sheets of plywood underneath. Then you can run your chains going thru the plywood conected to your trailer hitch to move it. I did have to use a comealong to do some fine tunning before I set it on the trailer. In one pic you can see the A frame I built to give me leverage to nestle it down on the trailer. I then pounded an old heavy duty pipe into the ground and lowered it down by making about 4 wraps around the pipe with the tow rope. It road fine for 5 miles. I then repeated the process. It is all about Leverage (and figuring out the tipping point).
