Moving my dad's shed. (Advice? Roll on pipes? Furniture dollies?)

You need to find a better location (under a tarp?) for the lumber, else you'll never have a bunkhouse/office once it's moved. Plus it's half the work.

CVS told me multiple times that it would take 3-4 days to receive my results, although one place said 2-3.

I submitted my test at 1500 yesterday and received a notification today at 12:36.

They were way off!

While I am negative, I still have some virus, and not only do I still need to stay home, I need to stay in my room, although the backyard would be acceptable.

I don't know that I have any good tarps left. The one that I put in my room when I modified the loft bed has many rips in it now.

You're mixing your metaphors.

Only a little bit negative? Have them test a mango or a can of Coke.

I am sure that many people that I have tested far too many mangoes this week. I have had nine cartons of Kern's mango nectar. That is 4.15 gallons! That is 2,394 grams of sugar!

That is 5.15 pounds of sugar! That is one of these:

...and 19 of these!


I regret nothing!

Don't judge me! I was sick!

I wasn't for the sugar high, it was the 15.75 days' worth of vitamin c!

Are there any good sources of anything that aren't really a source of something bad?

Anyway, I removed 27 2x4s and 24 2x6es. I hope you're happy!

It's more like trade one concern for another.

However, we already knew that!

Allegedly all of that lumber weighed a thousand pounds. I don't know, I threw it around pretty easily, but I needed to make three stacks against the back fence. Once it was maybe 2 feet tall it started tipping.

I guess the ground was too uneven and\or inconsistent under the cinder blocks.

I also pulled out a bag and a half of gravel, a couple bags of fertilizer, our old computer desk hutch, and my old loft bed frame--oh, also 5 bags of concrete.

The thing is, it was supposed to snow, so I spent a while covering everything with tarps, and weighing those down with bricks.

We had the lightest dusting!

I drove the digging bar further and tried to move the significantly-emptier shed again, but:

1. The rope slid off the front-right corner and was squeezing its way between the shed and the roller.
2. I put the rope around the bottom of the shed and it started splitting the wood!
3. The shed came off the back left roller.

Hopefully putting all four corners back on rollers would have made the difference, but I feel that I need for the ground to be frozen, and it was much warmer than before.

I absolutely need to fix my Civic, but I was trying to think of any solution besides parking a Honda back there.

I bought a farm jack.

I work during the day, make sure that my brother has dinner, and go out once or twice a week around 6, when it is getting dark. I didn't realize that it slid off the roller until tonight, so I jacked up the corner, and tried to roll the fencepost underneath, but the ground was higher, which I felt could be a problem, so I dug it out, although it was surprisingly soft.

However, I couldn't figure out how to lower the shed. I couldn't find the tag that came with it, so I looked for directions on-line. I wasted my time with videos, which didn't help me, so I went back out to try to figure it out again.

I finally lowered the shed, closed the doors, and felt confident that would be able to use the farm jack to move the shed the rest of the way. Then the neighbor over the back fence yelled "Who's there?! What are you doing?!"
"I'm in my own yard!"
"You are out there every night, messing with my fence," and some other crazy false witness.
"None of that is true!"

Nice lady!

By the way, this is the shed and fence in question. I sure want to know how she hasn't realized that the shed is now twice as far from the corner, but if I touched that fence it would fall down.

Someday I need to build a fence on our side.

Excuse me for going off-topic, but Happy New Year!

Nothing better to do this year than post on Ecomodder?

Happy New Year.

Statement of fact, more professional, and it is not like I discovered a cure for cancer?

I pretty much have the shed where it needs to be. The front right corner is one inch too far. I am going to try to adjust that as I work on the rest of this.

Unfortunately, I needed to dig a hole to push the back right corner 4".

I hate digging where we had grass!

I adjusted the back left roller and this 4' section of the 4x4 holding up the left side fell off. I took a picture and put it back, but I need to replace.

I am going to buy a 16' 4x4 and cut it to length.

Seems to have been quite the adventure. Glad it's almost over?

You must not know about me!
