How would you move a large barn?

That is downright inspiring!

17,000 lb, 334 lifters = less than 50 lb per lifter on average. Gives
real meaning to the old saw "many hands make light work".

If a man can build a garage in 60 days, can 60 men build a garage in a
day? ;-)


If it takes one man 60 days to build a garage, he needs some remedial
construction classes. Building an average two car free standing garage
solo should not take more than a week of full days of work.


Okay, seven then. Can seven men throw one up in a day?


If 24 guys poured the slab, would it reach full cure strength in a
day?
