Re: [MBZ] Moving a storage shed

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Bob,

Having made a number of moves in the last couple of years, I can tell you that 
$50/man/hour is about the going rate everywhere.

That being said, I’ve found some really good loaders/unloaders using the UHaul 
web site, where they can post ads and get rated by the customers. I’ve kept the 
contact information for the ones that did good jobs (and that was most of them) 
for future reference. The real key for a loader is finding the guy with the 
“Tetris” skills who can get everything into the truck without damage and making 
the best use of the space. That’s the guy you want to tip heavily.

Between the moves back and forth to Indiana and the one to Flagstaff, I don’t 
think we incurred any damage to speak of on the contents. Those were moves I 
did with a UHaul truck but hired loaders and unloaders to do the heavy work.

Regardless, it’s money very, very well spent from a time and sore back/injury 
standpoint. Having a blown out back before you even get into or out of a place 
is self-defeating. I’m not even factoring in the weather/climate.

Re: [MBZ] Moving a storage shed

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

Part of aging wisely is learning your limits. I’d say move it with your wallet. 
Moving that shed seems to be pretty black and white. 

Employing my above advice, we just paid to have an outfit move my MIL from 
independent living to an assisted living studio 2.5 miles away (forecast highs 
of 110ish and humid, only Mrs. Bob and I doing the work…at 62 and 61 
respectively [don’t tell her I divulged her age] swayed my decision). 

Never having utilized movers I have learned moving household goods seems to be 
an effing racket.  The old girl doesn’t have much stuff:

*reclining loveseat (main reason I didn’t want to mover her stuff again)
*small end table 
*queen bed, headboard, night stand
*small kitchen table with two chairs
*small hutch
*43” tv and tv stand
*three large suitcases full of clothes

The most reasonable estimate I got was the rate of $199/hour for three dudes 
and a 26’ truck. They reckoned three hours to do the job. Plus…a 16% fuel 
surcharge.
Long story short….0830 to 1045, $1055 plus a broken leg on the damn recliner. 
Tomorrow morning phone class with the gloves off will begin.

Exactly. Not only that, your time has value, too. Think about how long it would 
take you to do it, not to mention all of the possibilities where things could 
go south.

That is what I am thinking. Wouldn’t want it falling off the trailer half way

This is something you may be better off transferring the risk for. Unless they 
will only do it with some sort of hold harmless/waive all liability, it’s worth 
it.

There are all sorts of “what ifs?” when you move it, none of which are very 
pleasant to consider. Let someone else (who probably does this on a daily 
basis) do it and assume the risk.

So use a chain and drag it out to where you can 
get to both sides. Should be easy if it is on 
skids like most of them.

If the tractor can lift one end then you could 
block that end up like Curt said. Once you have 
one end high enough the use the tractor to lift 
the other end and either block it or leave the 
tractor there and back the trailer under it.

Cut some of those oaks down to use as rollers - you need three - two under
it and one to shuffle from the rear to the front as it progresses onto the
trailer.

Actually I think it is built on skids.  Here is a pic of the building, 
not a great pic but you can get an idea of what it is.

A couple 4x6 beams, a bottle jack and some blocking is all you need. 2 
bottle jacks would be faster but not required.

If you try to winch it you'll want skids under it otherwise you'll just rip it 
apart. If you're going to put skids under it you might as well just lift it and 
drive the trailer under...

Re: [MBZ] Moving a storage shed

I was thinking maybe I could get the tractor forks under the front and lift it 
up enough to get the ramps under it, then maybe run a long strap around it at 
the bottom where the supports are then start winching it up. I think I might be 
over there today and will measure it to see is wide it is. For some reason I 
think they might have had to use some concrete blocks on the trailer to get it 
up one the wheel fenders because I think it’s too wide to sit between them.

Jack it up at one end so you can get it up enough to get the trailer under it 
(block it up back a coupla feet so you can get the jack(s) out) then wrap 
straps or chains around it to hook to the winch and pull it the rest of the way

[MBZ] Moving a storage shed

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I have a storage building at the other house I have been thinking about moving 
here. It has some damage on the side of the roof and needs a panel replaced  
which needs to be done before it rots out. Anyway, with using my trailer with 
12k winch, and possibly my tractor, anybody have any ideas on moving this 
thing? When we had it moved in, it came from my great grandmothers house and my 
wife’s ex father in law moved it for us using my car trailer and winch. I think 
he had a couple of guys help him but I would most likely be alone.
