Maybe some readers have seen where I am going with this story. Yes, the truck is gone, the barn is built so what is to become of the shed? We have considered this question for years and this year decided to get rid of it. But not into a dumpster if we could possibly manage it. This old building still has some life in it.A neighbor with two teenage boys who work on cars, go carts, bikes, and other stuff was looking for a place to house all the contraptions that had been gathering in her driveway. She said she would love to have the shed. So after two moves on our property, it came time to move it again. This time it had to go on the road. Good bye shed.
Down our driveway, just fitting through the stone wall
Turning onto Moccasin Hill
A left on Laurel Drive
Keeping within the speed limit
Squeaking under two sets of power lines. A right turn into the neighbor's driveway.
Back home here is what it looks like without the shed. Moving a building was really a thrill and we didn't pass one car, hit one power line, knock off any tree branches or lose the building entirely around a corner. Three vehicles, five men, a lot of strategizing and a lot of fun. We all felt victorious. How's that for recycling?

I'm so impressed! I didn't realize that everyday people could move whole buildings- and get them to their destination in one piece! Quite a feat!
Love the project...
and the dog!
thanks sylvia and don,
I was amazed by this too. The guys who did it were pros and the best part about it was they had a great time doing it! Like kids in the block corner in elementary school but this is dealing with life size blocks!!!
The relocated shed is already filled with bikes and the teenage owner has already repaired the windows.
Recycling at its best.
Happy Earth Day!
