[QUOTE="richg99, post: 233891, member: 4376"] Somewhere around 1962 or so, my father in law....who was about 5' 6 inches tall...needed his garage moved from one side of the house to the other. He thought he could do everything. Sometimes he was right. He laid a concrete slab in the new location. He gathered his two sons; myself; and a couple of other guys in the neighborhood. He pryed and jacked up the garage's sole plate. It rose about six inches. He placed a couple of large pipes under the base-plate. He continued prying and jacking until he had pipe sections under the entire garage base. Rolling slowly, the 20 x20 ft garage was moved into the ally. Pipes were placed under the wood and inch by inch that d%$# garage was moved about 200 feet. My wife's dad was a truck driver and had a marvelous mind. regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
