Dang right! Somebody jumped me about that song in the last video....claiming I was some "rich" guy that already had everything lol.....what on earth! I hope folks can appreciate that song for what it's worth...because we're all in danger of losing our freedoms
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer They must have ignored the hard work, dedication and setting priorities part of your channel. Freedom can be lost regardless of how much money or material things one has.
Josh the next time you move that put some 2x4s all the way across the building to tie the sides together. You have a trailer and a flat bed truck, you can back it under the building and just rais the building up 12” off the ground and again put some 2x framing materials across bed and each side of building and you can just drive around where ever you want
Overall you done a good job and I was impressed. It definitely could've turn out worse. However, you could've taken shorter 2x's than 26' and screw one end one of the "rafters" near the ridge of the roof and then ran it down to the end down close to the part where it sits on the ground. Several of those and it would've helped tremendously with making it more "rigid" and sturdy. Again, good job. Slow and steady wins the race.
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer we build steel buildings at our shop and move them locally with a trailer! Others further we build them in sections and assemble on site! We cable or chain the bottom or some times use pipe to the bottom of each wall to restrict movement ! Your move got the job done! Don’t see anything wrong with it!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer but bracing it won't be that difficult and will remove the risk of distorting the structure. Some scaffold poles or 2x4s will do the job.
Moved a storage shed several years ago by lifting it up and putting pipes under it and hooking onto it with my F250 and pulling it around to its current location...previous property owners built the thing between 2 walnut trees which of course were growing up and around the shed...someone didn't think before they built as usual.
I moved one of those before with a bobcat. We tied a set of skis on the end that was facing the way we were heading. We then put the chain across the middle from one side to the other. I took the bucket of the bobcat and scoped up the chain and drove forward all the way to the new location. Even with turning, it would turn with no issues. Worked great.
Josh, Next time get 2 guys to grab the back poles and run them up front Keep doing that and the bottom won't dig in then u don't have to stop each time . plus get some large Rachet straps like the truckers use and criss cross them to hold the frame tight with minimum flex and bowing.
We moved a wood structure (approximately 25' x 30') when I was a kid. Gramps had us add bracing first. We used farm jacks to lift the structure and place it on ironwood rollers. Pulled the building with a Farmall A. Kept feeding the building with the ironwood rollers as they were released. The building was on the rollers to the destination. Proper hillbilly engineering... :-)
Good afternoon! Just got to this. I am relieved that right side didn’t collapse when you went to turn. Frankly, I’m surprised the toe-in didn’t become permanent. I would have suggested putting a couple 2x6s with another one scabbed on in a T for strength the other way to keep those walls vertical while you pulled. Evan at Country View Acres moved one doing about that. But, all’s well that ends well. You got it moved, nothing was damaged beyond acceptable limits, and you now know the grace period on your fuel tank!! It did take you longer than it would have with a flunky to assist. In the future, there’s a retiree living about 25 miles south of you who would have been happy to come up and been that go-fer. All ya gotta do is ask. If I’m not out of state on my own farm, I’m almost always available.
THAT must be a great relief to have that shed successfully moved out of the way! In addition... that was a very clever way to go about getting it shifted as well! VICTORY!
Two spreader bars of anything that will carry the weight and use a loader tractor and 3 point to lift the shed while the tractor is basically inside then drive to the next location. You can even get the building exactly where you want it because you're driving it suspended from the tractor
good job I have the same metal building I poured footings to hold my building from blown away plus it gets the metal up out of the dirt so it can't rust
Good job Josh, moving that building looks like a labor of patience, too bad you ran out of fuel. Having an extra helper though to assist you with leveling the building and straighten out the sides would be a great blessing. Good Job! 👍
I moved one with three 4” tree trunks lashed at each end and one in the middle to keep building square. I drove the forks under one end and lifted the end up high to allow pivoting on the end on the ground and it moved quite easily.
Great 'farm fix"! Your right, would have been much easier with two people and a square brace to pull on. But great move. Now get that thing anchored down!
Nice work sir. Every body wants to Monday morning quarterback this move You’ve been talking about moving this building for the last 2 or three videos. Considering you were doing it by yourself you did great didn’t tear anything up, nobody got hurt, all good
i woulda thought you’d leap frog the posts while you were moving it, keeping it from digging in the ground and allowing the sides to spring back. looks like it worked out though.
Josh for moving a very large structure by yourself job well done. Lessons learn and if you have to move another structure later on it will be much easier.
Make sure to post a video of you bleeding the diesel system on Peanut. Sorry that happened but I hear it's a bear getting it primed after running dry. I'd like to see if it's really that hard. That was a slick building move BTW.
I moved my carport with my skid steer I put 4x6’s along bottom then put skid steer inside and then braced side to side with with 2x4’s and picked up one end and drove it to its new location
Great work, you asked for "pointers" the only thing id do differently, was get another person or 2 to help (obviously not possible for you at the time), and id just get a bunch more poles for rolling. put 6 per side. And maybe wider poles, like thick ABS pipe....but you gotta work with what ya got. Not too shabby, got the job done!
As I was watching you move the building, all I could think of is what old Waylon Wire says on his channel when he does sketchy stuff on his channel, "What could possibly go wrong?"
In a video, I saw them move rail cars with underground style drain pipes which of course got squashed from the weight of the car. Once the pipe went out from under the back, they would move it to the front. Your way looked a lot easier except you didn't move a pipe to the front when they ran out in the back. I thought it might be what caused the building to twirk inward the way it did. Again, it was interesting to watch. I look forward to your coming videos. With love, stay safe, and God bless.
Nicely done. Yeah, bracing between where the chains were prob would have been advisable (not only are the chains pulling forward, but also inwards, in line with the chains). Ditto putting some lengthwise skids under those rollers to help them roll along better. But hey, it worked, you got it there in one piece so a satisfactory solution was found to the problem of moving. Nicely done "farmer fixing", or is that Yankee ingenuity ( ;-) ), the challenge you faced.
This was a day a helper would have been golden. Nice job on your moving of the hay shed. It will be a valuable asset, you are right. No need to get rid of or sale it or scrap it. Hay storage is a plus, farmer rod
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and my suggestion would have been to use plywood and then get the rollers that they use to push the vehicles and you could have gotten it from AutoZone but that way work to woo
Only thing I've done different was to use more pipe pieces and lay them out so it would continue to stay on and roll along with fewer on and off trips and to use your smallest tractor
It works but guys, if you move something like this you need at minimum to brace the front where you are pulling from. Then attach the chain to the middle of the brace and drag. It prevents the bowing. Also drag it till a roller comes out then take the roller and put it in front. Little prep goes a long way 🍻 Still, THATS HOW YA DO IT!!
I have a similar project i will eventually have to do on my farm. My plan is to put my kubota m7060 in the middle of the building with forks on front and back. Then lift the building one side at a time with my MF245 sliding drill stem under the build and on top of the forks. Then chain everything together and completely lift the build with the kubota to drive it to where I want it.
Nice work for a solo move, Having another hand or two could have kept the pipes under the front. Now that you got that one licked, I've got a 24x45 that I need moved. Only mine is not on such a level yard... haha
Great job Josh! If you ran out the fuel, it might be a good Idea to change your fuel filter(s), just in case you sucked any crap off the bottom of the tank!
Good job. Like everyone else, i have opinions about the move. Maybe screw some boards under the bottom rails to act as skids or larger diameter pipes. But you did a great job and stayed safe that's the important part. Love your channel and content. Keep it up.
If you have any short logs, I think the building might have moved a little easier through the mud. Larger diameter wouldn't have as much rolling resistance. You still did a great job! That's about the same idea I had.
could of run bracing across both ends and pin it with the existing holes for the rebar and drag from the bracing...just a thought.. wouldn't flex if u know what I mean...either way you did it...lol
Hopefully the skid steer just got low on fuel and has an electronic cut off so you don’t have to deal with priming it and all of that, hopefully you can just put some fuel in the tank and it will start again. It would be pretty hard to get stuff in and out of there with that skid steer just having to sit there forever. 😉
I had the same issue a few years ago. I was using it as a carport until I built my garage. When I moved it 1500 yards. I went to Harbor Freight and bought 6 of the big casters and wheels, then took by straps and racketed the bottom so it didn't bow leg on me. It took some time as it was down hill but it worked great. I did have to get my brother on the Polaris Ranger to hold it back as I pulled with my tractor to keep it from running over me...LOL
Wouldn't the loader on the tractor go up high enough to pick up in the front center of the roof and only lift an inch or two and drag it into place? less stress on the walls that way.
yep.....just ruin the roof my brotha...that's why I showed ya....the center of the roof is nearly 12 feet high...can't do it my friend. This building is much bigger than it looks on "tv"
If you mess with my freedom ill tell you what you can kiss thats right.

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer maybe a big loader tractor

straps like the truckers use and criss cross them to hold the frame tight with minimum flex and bowing.
I’m glad it worked for you
And all this by yourself ! Superman would be proud of you 😃
I thought the sides would fold, came out alright though. I like the stoney ridge soundtrack.
Well done and on your own too I guess a spreader bar would have stopped the chains from pinching in the sides but all worked out ok
Great video Josh 🇺🇲 nice work on moving the shed WOOOOOO 🇺🇲
Enjoyed the video. We have been having terrible winds at our farm. (Keysville Virginia). Looks like your plan worked well.👍

Hi.... Josh nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐐🐄🐖🐝🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
That worked pretty slick, Good thinking and great job! 👍
Great job Mr for one man
Good job there, not the easiest thing do do by yourself.
Nicely done Hello from Greece
hi there I have a 18x42 building like that i have moved 3 times . over all i would say you did a real good job . john
Wow that was amazing good job👍
THAT must be a great relief to have that shed successfully moved out of the way! In addition... that was a very clever way to go about getting it shifted as well! VICTORY!
Yes, thanks
Nice Work Stoney
wow a brand new socket set, nice !
lol...not brand new..I just keep them clean

good job

A set of wheels might be the go for moving that shed to move it around or even weld on a set of skids
That's how we move a wood furnace down in a basement. Sweeeeet nice job.
Please inform me all the progress of your projects. It is very encouraging and educational for me. Thank you.👌💪💪👍🌹💖❤
how bout I inform the whole world my friend lol....more to come for sure!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thanks 😊
Mr. Fred an old farmer we used to know, put tires on his to move it. I was amazed. It worked well.
Lots of fun watching one man do a two man job. :)
You got that right!
Josh you have to get a cajun gas guage. Way and more accurate than a factory guage cheap also. Down here in south Louisiana we call it a stick. 👍😂
That worked better than I was thinking it would 😃😃.
Nice job !!
lol...me too!

Looks like it worked great all things considered Josh. Where there's a will there's a way my friend! Wooooo!
Nice job, Josh! I liked the planning and execution of moving that all by yourself!
GrezT job.
Sometimes you just gotta go for it. "A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week." (Patton)

Fantastic job moving the building Josh, great video.
Josh for moving a very large structure by yourself job well done. Lessons learn and if you have to move another structure later on it will be much easier.
Hello stoney ridge farmer can you please make a visit to the Coleman powersports Showroom in Tempe Arizona?
Make sure to post a video of you bleeding the diesel system on Peanut. Sorry that happened but I hear it's a bear getting it primed after running dry. I'd like to see if it's really that hard. That was a slick building move BTW.
actually didn't have to bleed it...not sure if the computer shut it down or what...but it fired up after about 20 seconds of starting! Thank goodness!
I moved my carport with my skid steer I put 4x6’s along bottom then put skid steer inside and then braced side to side with with 2x4’s and picked up one end and drove it to its new location
Did it the same way
this is a big one for sure...but it all worked out...tune in saturday for more info and work!
i used to use a 85.5hp m8540 kubota with m30 loader and bucket and cab to move a building
Very cool That was an awsome way to move your shed.
LOL I was going to say that too but all my thoughts were after the fact because I didn't get the show live
Great work, you asked for "pointers" the only thing id do differently, was get another person or 2 to help (obviously not possible for you at the time), and id just get a bunch more poles for rolling. put 6 per side. And maybe wider poles, like thick ABS pipe....but you gotta work with what ya got. Not too shabby, got the job done!
Josh, the builders of the pyramids would be proud of you. You moved that building like they moved the huge stone blocks. Good work!
Glad to see it worked out!
As I was watching you move the building, all I could think of is what old Waylon Wire says on his channel when he does sketchy stuff on his channel, "What could possibly go wrong?"
A long spreader bar - you pull the bar and attach the sides to it. When pulling two chains, you tend to straiten them to the size of the forks.

sometimes too many cooks in the kitchen can lead to alot of head scratchn instead of a$$ moving lol
Hello from Minnesota. Ruh Roh!
good video man
Good enough! Sure, a more fancy way could have been used, but time is hard to come by, right?
I was expecting it to get more a ton more damage with out bracing it . Good job , happy for ya. Todd 🤪
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and my suggestion would have been to use plywood and then get the rollers that they use to push the vehicles and you could have gotten it from AutoZone but that way work to woo
Good luck with moving that shed… I have faith in you…
And this is how us back woods boys get er done.
Only thing I've done different was to use more pipe pieces and lay them out so it would continue to stay on and roll along with fewer on and off trips and to use your smallest tractor
still gotta lift and put a pipe at the front my friend...moving 3 pipes instead of 5 was less work on me
nice

It prevents the bowing. Also drag it till a roller comes out then take the roller and put it in front. Little prep goes a long way 🍻
Still, THATS HOW YA DO IT!!
I saw that coming all you had to do is use 1 long board the width of the building chains attached for straight pull surprised it did not collapse.
because I was careful to not let it collapse my friend
I like bracing the bottom walls by using a cross brace so walls don't spread - otherwise it's a good move.
Did you park that thing in the way of a gate? or is that just a connector in the fence?
nope..put it right at the corner of the gate opening my friend
Half a tank(think about fuel) 1/4 tank(fill it up)!
I have a similar project i will eventually have to do on my farm. My plan is to put my kubota m7060 in the middle of the building with forks on front and back. Then lift the building one side at a time with my MF245 sliding drill stem under the build and on top of the forks. Then chain everything together and completely lift the build with the kubota to drive it to where I want it.
It might have been said but you could have used you timber off cuts to brace it?
remember it's 26 feet wide my brotha
Nice work for a solo move, Having another hand or two could have kept the pipes under the front. Now that you got that one licked, I've got a 24x45 that I need moved. Only mine is not on such a level yard... haha

Before I watch, I assume you did not put in cross-bracing before moving the carport. Lesson learned - refill when it reads one quarter full.
could of run bracing across both ends and pin it with the existing holes for the rebar and drag from the bracing...just a thought.. wouldn't flex if u know what I mean...either way you did it...lol
