We may try that. Bevelling the front end, I'd not have
thought of that. Thank you. Good idea.

Sigh.
A good friend of mnem asked me today about movin ga hsed If
ehe can move it about 50 feet, from the neighbors lot, he
can have the shed. Else, it will be torn down and scrapped
Shed is about 12 x 8 feet. About 8 feet tall. As I quipped,
you could move in family of 8 immigrants, and they would
fit
fine. It's seriously large enough to live in, and call it a
studio apartment.

Here is the front of the shed.

These are pictures of the shed with a 250 pound Mormon
standing in front of the shed.

This shows the path the shed needs to move. Towards the
photographer.
The roof is slightly pitched, maybe 2-12. The roof is badly
rotted and can be sacrificed. The walls are flake board,
and
2 x 2 studs. The floor feels like 3/4 plywood on 6 x 6
beams. Or maybe two by six, nailed together. There is vinyl
siding. I leaned against the building, and it didn't move a
bit. The floor beams and all, are on cinder blocks.
There are a couple phone poles near the destination which
might be strong enough to put a cable hoist. There may be
enough room to fit a small four by four truck. We discussed
pulling, carrying, and rolling on pipes or tubes.
I'm really not coming up with any good ideas. What do you
all suggest?
The guys who sell prefab sheds here roll them on 4" PVC
pipes.
You need about 4 or 5 and keep recycling the one rolling out
the back
to the front. They move a stick built shed like that with 2
guys and
move right along but they are young ;-)
The only thing they do to make things easier is they bevel
the edges
of the beams when they build it so they roll up on the next
pipe
easier.
