It served it's purpose well for 10 years on the road.
The was used a few more years as a stationary shop, before becoming a tool bin. It is equipped with an onan generator, 2 heater/AC units, lots of shelving, a workbench, and tiedowns for welders. This is the first time it has been moved in 15 years. It took a 1/2 day of moving stuff to get it pulled out of its spot under a tree
Today with a bit of help from a nephew, alot of stuff was moved across the yard.
All that remains to be moved is the original forklift shed.
It is 10 × 10 and will be replaced by a 30 x 40 building. Hopefully permits and concrete will be in the ground by Christmas.

The little barn was heavier than expected. The skid steer would just not balance, and the forklift found the ground to soft.
Salvaged plywood made a road and team forklift and skid steer did the job.
The videographer/supervisor did not approve of the master plan from the start. If only she knew of the moves in my past.

Yup, I know what you mean. It was almost like my was behind the camera!
@Spike188 That looks like a totally acceptable and approved bit of tomfoolery to me!
Glad you got it moved and it held together.

A requirement for the build is location of septic system in relationship to the building site. A 40 year old hand sketch of the bed, tank and lines was not sufficient.
Unfortunately the 64l6bh rebuild is not completed so a borrowed Deere was used to expose the bed for official survey locates. The 646L used to back fill.
That was prime seat time.

Elevation and building drawings will be submitted Monday. The trailer has been sold as non usable. Not wanting to miss the opertunity of passing it on to someone else, today is clean out day.
Plans were to wait for trailer clean out untill building is up. I didn't want to handle stuff twice. Getting to transformers, spools of electrical wire, panels and other building supplies shelved in the trailer. Hopefully shovel will be in the ground in 3 weeks.
thinks he needs . Hopefully the paper pushers don't hold you up .
