so I found out through a friend of a friend that someone who they knew had a cousin that had a line on the location of the person that could tell me where there was a little building for sale. Someone had purchased it previously, put it on skids and had been ready to move it when they realized it was 16 ft tall, That’s before they had even put it on a trailer. The tallest you can take on the road is 13.5ft, So it has sat for about a year waiting for me to put my engineering degree to use on it.
So the game plan is to
1. make the building level
2. address any decay issues
3. put it on wheels/ reinforce the frame
4. cut the roof off and remove with boom truck
5. transport to the farm with the tractor
6. reassemble in feild
Seems pretty straight forward I should be done in no time at all, especially with the help of our friends pet Turkey (Tina).
and here my friend in all it’s glory is my very own vintage camp trailer. This is about halfway through the process of tearing the P.O.S. down to the frame inorder to use the axles and frame to reinforce the building . I will post update as I go along!
p.s. this isn’t related to anything but I really wanted to share it
Seriously?! A house…how do I compete with something on that scale? Do you think the landlord would mid if I began construction on a miniature castle in the backyard. Maybe I could set up a small quarry and hand cut each stone to size like the aztecs did.
[...] To make a long story not quite so long, I found a tiny building/ shack that somebody wanted to get rid of for real cheap. It had a new roof and was built in the twenties or teens ( kinda hard to tell actually). It measures 16′x 14′ and was nearly 17′ tall witch made it a little bit over the 13 1/2 foot height restriction for moving it and once you put it on a trailer you were looking at a 20′ tall behemoth roaring down the highway crushing everything in its path. This dissuaded the first people that bought it from moving the building to their property so it sat for a couple of years looking forlorn until I inquired about it. The building continued to sit for another year while I worked out how to move this thing to the farm. [...]
