The Patch Shed (Gert's house but when all is done, half of it will be my working Patch, one room will be storage, the rest will be Al's workshop) was put in place yesterday. The guy came with his fancy little remote controlled tractor and got busy.
See the slab to the left? That's where the new house will be.
By the time I got there for photo ops he had already moved the front door half. You can't see much, but beyond the house in the distance, to the South, are the Olympic mountains. That is the alley where the pole is. The garage is where all the stuff is piled.
Then, remote control in hand, he walked his tractor back down the driveway - now
He hooked it up to the back door half of the Patch Shed and casually walked it to the matching half.
This guy is so good that when they measured the distance to line it up to the garage, he was off by 1/2 inch.
One half inch! He must have been trained by Wall-E.
For perspective - I am standing in the neighbor's yard across the alley. looking North to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, San Juan Islands and Canada, Victoria to the left. the mountains behind me. The white building on the left is the garden shed of our current house. The little building to the right is the garage of the new house. Eventually the RV will park between the Shed and the garage. The pear and apple trees are on the new property. TMI? Just trying to answer questions that inquiring minds have asked.
Soon those talented guys will come and put it back together, fiddling around under it, patching the joint, replacing the inside join and it will be ready for inspection. The short story is that our county requires it to be decommisioned to be classified as a shed, not a dwelling. That's why Al was required to remove all plumbing, heating and electrical. After the inspector signs off then he can put electricity back so we can have light and fire up all our tools. Doncha love bureaucracy?
