Jack it up - gently, a little bit at a time as you go around the

garage
and
block it up, then jack a little more, and keep going around until you

get
it
as high as you need. If you can get 4 jacks going at once, it's

better.
You can keep the building pretty much level as it goes up. Brace the
corners and brace the overhead door openings. Put rollers under the

side
walls (trees will work if you've got access to some pretty nice small

trees
without a lot of limbs, and pull it straight back onto the new area.

Lower
it in reverse order. Not a bad undertaking all in all. Easily done

on
a
Saturday.


In other words it will be a 3 day job, lol



Wise guy. You related to my wife?


Well you can't just walk up to it and start jacking, you can't get a jack
under a building that's sitting on the ground. You must create a beam system
inside to jack on, then you have to decide where you're going to pull from
without twisting the structure, more work. The only way it's "easily done on
a Saturday" is if you spent the last three days getting everything ready. A
building mover will do it in a day but not an inexperienced home owner.
