Moved my neighbors garage
Here's some pics of my work to get it in my backyard. It's a 14 x 22 building all tongue and groove walls and roof plus the plywood so it's an older building. I did all the bracing, jacking and pulling. Btw I just used a cum a long hooked to my truck and rolled it on 4" pipes. I didn't want to tear up my truck just pulling it, plus this way could watch what was going on and stop to make adjustments. I rolled the pipe on decking boards layed out like tracks. I couldn't get a car trailer, the neighbors fence was to close.
The last 20 ft I didn't have room for my truck so used one of my trees. I'm still in the process of turning it around straight. Maybe some kinda world record for a cumalong LOL, my arms were wore out. Now I now how the ancient egyptians felt building the pyramids moving large objects with minimal tools.

When I built my new garage, I had the old one hauled away. The company that took it lifted it up about the same way, except they just backed a flatbed into the garage, dropped the garage down on the bed, and drove it away. It was pretty interesting to watch.

Moving building
Good job Bill. I am currently waiting to move a 16x24 garage for a fellow on a job we are doing installing a new tile bed. The owner wanted me to crush it with the excavator and bury it. I talked to his neighbour and he said it would be a shame to crush and he would love to have it. I struck up a deal with him and poured a cement pad then put joists throughout it just as you did. I then used a 20' 10 ton farm wagon to mount it on. I placed 2 (24') steel 6" channel on the bunks and lowered the building down onto the wagon and towed it with my 4x4 pickup into place. Jacked it clear of the wagon and set onto the pad. Bill I'm thinking you probably want a concrete floor in your new garage. I've done them where you put 2 beams down the center of the building and 3' out through your man door on one end and out through your overhead on the other. Jack them 3' off the ground and it lets you put a 2x8 frame on the ground and pour a concrete pad. Then you can run several courses of 6" block. Then set the building back down in place. FWIW Ed

Stuart I wish I could have just pulled in a car trailer, let the air out of the tires. Braced across than air the tires back up to lift it just didn't have room to do so. I guess I like doing things the hard way.

Most people wouldn't even think of doing that. Good for you.

On a related note (and not to detract from Bill's efforts) we pulled the kids out of school one day to watch a historic home get moved through our small town.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
