Thank you all for your kind advice and tips. On friday two of us moved in
into place, unfortuntley due to the weather I was unable to take any
pictures (it rained for most of the day). I ended up building a set of
rails out of 2" pipe sitting 2 x 8's as sleepers and rolled it along using
more 2" pipe as rollers and a couple of 5' bars as levers.

Every thing ran very smoothly and in a controled fashion, but if I was to do
it again I would of liked to of had another toe jack and an extra pair of
hand would not of gone a miss. I certainly would tackle a similar task
again. Once again thank you all for your advice.

I'm happy everything worked well for you.

Your comment:
"Every thing ran very smoothly and in a controled fashion..."
is the key that allows you to "back up and try again" if
necessary and keeps everyone safe.

Good work.
