Let's close up the shed

 That big gap between the two pieces of Gert's house, aka The Shed, has got to go.  Here's the fascinating way four guys did it. 

 Remember that this thing was built in 1976 so it's very funky. 

The protective and very heavy black plastic was removed from the openings.

Doesn't look like much, does it.  This is the ultimate hallway.

The plastic was now on the ground to become a vapor barrier.  

Recycling at its best.

Those concrete blocks were put back under to hold it up.  

Puny little jacks were used to raise the whole thing. 

The tires were removed.

                               

More pumping another dinky jack at the front hitch,

 which was later removed because this house, excuse me, shed, is going nowhere.

This slider wend under the house,  which will actually move on such a basic piece of equipment. 

Like this.  

Another little red jack. 

The tires were taken off to be used another time somewhere else.

Yes!  They physically pushed it!  

With the help of this contraption which pulled while the guys pushed. 

Back together.  This gap will be filled with the siding. 

 Shingles will go back on the roof.

It's all one piece again!  There were more steps, but it was cold and rainy so I went in for warmth and wine.  It's so convenient to be right next door.

Notice that Al's stepladder and tool table never moved through all that. 

It's such a fascinating process 

and obviously a young man's job with all that crawling and lifting.  

We all learned something so next time you need to move a very old mobile home give us a call.  Thanks for watching with us.
