Movin' a shed

Yesterday we fulfilled Logan's dreams of moving our shed. Since we moved in he has thought and talked about moving the shed from one very conspicuous corner of the yard to one that is out of the way.

The Before. Everyone showed up at noon. We got started right away.
This is everyone's excited face. Yeah - we can do it!

I thought the first hour was going to be a struggle to get the shed started, up out of the hole. The boys gave a little push and it rolled right out. No problem.
A short celebration and the strategy session to figure out how to turn it 180 degrees as well as push it.

We used two 10' ABS tubes and two 2' tubes. As we were turning it we would pause to reposition the tubes. There were many occasions that we need to weight one end of the shed. One way we achieved this was to have the girls hop inside the shed and stand in the corner that was needed. This was the other method.
Another pause to reposition a tube.
Half way. Pressed right up against the deck. (Check out the new deck colour - Tugboat).

The move team: Logan, Lindsay (who kept Charlie out of the way), Jason (new mohawk and all), Dan, Craig, Jen and myself.

We complete the move at 12:38. From arrival at noon to completion 38 minutes. Wow. I honestly thought that at 2:00 we would be stopping for a beer and talking about how we were going to change our approach, or making a trip to home depot. nothing. It was great!

Almost as soon as we finished the sun broke through the clouds and it got hot.

Out came the beer and the snack on the patio set. And then out came the bocce ball.

It was so intense the bocce that the tape measure was used to ensure all points were awarded properly.

Charlie really liked the bocce balls as well. He chased the one red ball around the yard, pushing it with his paws and teeth - trying to bite the damn thing. He loved it.
