How to move a barn!
Phil Kangas wrote:
How would you move a large barn? .... If you were going to do that and needed to know how many people you would need to lift it, how would you determine its weight? You could measure its pieces & add it up. E.g., so many square feet of roofing shingles, of siding, of sheathing, linear feet of studs, of each different size beam, etc, etc. But that's not clever enough by far. Let's see: you could put, say, 10 sheets of plywood under it, spaced around it, and air bags under the plywood. Then 17000/(10 * 32 sq ft * 144 sq in/sq ft) = .37 psi. Measure the psi in each bag & add it up. But that's a lot of air bags (expensive). And each sheet of plywood would have to support 1700 lbs, which probably means a need for stiffening structure. You could use 1 sheet of plywood & 1 air bag and move them around, but how would you know when the air pressure is enough, but not too much? Load cells? Expensive. What else? A really long, really stiff lever, and a pivot to put it on. ???? Bob |

Building an average two car free standing garage solo should not take more than a week of full days of work. |

Rich Grise fired this volley in news:il10k1
: Okay, seven then. Can seven men throw one up in a day? Hmm. They probably could. ;-) Not to beat a silly horse, but the Amish can put up a barn of arbitrary size in a day. It has to do more with available hands and organization of labor than with the specific workload. And, for what it's worth, they call it "a frolic". G LLoyd |
