I guess that I had better livestream this because I may not be able to upload it myself for some reason.

When I moved the shed the first time I had 16 3x18 rollers. Now I have 4 6x96 ones. I wonder about the difference in surface area, but I would expect the larger rollers to have an easier time with uneven ground.

The thing is, I have stacks of 2x6es and 2x4s. It may not be waxy, but if I jack up each side, remove the rollers, put down 2x6es, put down the rollers (with a chock block or something to keep them from rolling the wrong way), and then put down 2x4s to spread the weight across the joists (which run the other direction).

Then I would have:
  1. A smooth and even surface for the rollers.
  2. Orders of magnitude more surface area.
  3. ????
  4. Profit!
I think that I took a left turn somewhere.

Ooh! I would have my 2x4s and 2x6es under the shed, which I am trying to move, and not inside of it!

Hey! Do you know what might reduce fraction by 12x?!

Buying another 22 rollers!
