So, I'm curious exactly how one would go about moving a garage? The
existing structure is 24 feet square. I'd like to move it straight back
about 12 feet. Obviously, a new section of concrete would have to be
poured
and tied into the existing slab. I'm more curious how one does the
physical
moving. I've Googled for it and can't locate anything except garage
sales
and moving sales when I look for "garage moving". Any ideas?

A friend of mine moved his garage all by himself, to a completely
different
neighbourhood. Mind you he had a tractor and a flatbed trailer (like the
kind you might carry hay on), but here's what he did: He unfastened the
garage from its base and jacked it up all the way around (I'm sure you can
think of many ways to do that), then backed the trailer in. Next he let
most of the air out of the tires, and put some beams across the width of
the
trailer, extending right to the walls. He secured the beams to the walls,
then put the air back in the tires. That lifted it off the jacks and he
was
on his way, repeating the process in reverse at his destination.

Since you're not going very far you could probably dispense with the jacks
altogether; the tires do that job. 24' is kinda wide, much wider than
his.
But maybe you can do something with the concept. Good luck.

Why let the air out of the tires?? Why not just jack it up another 5 inches?
