The Studio project

Hi there, here are a couple of pictures of the studio moving project. But first a little history. We sold the back property which was a super answer to prayer and we just needed to move a couple of things off of it.
The studio was built as an extension to donated shed/office so we had to put in new skids under the floor joists to tie the hole building together before it could be moved. We bought the 16 ft 4x6 preasure treated skids and bolted them up through the floor joists. Then we slowly started lifting the building in preperation to move it.

Here are the jacks that we used to lift the building. one under each skid.

John showing us how angled the building is as we lifted one side then another.

The building started off being about 10 inches from the ground but here we have it up 36 inches. We don't actually know what we are doing. The professionals would not touch it cause of the way it was built and those who did wanted 5000$ to do it. So we are doing this by faith pray it goes well and that we don't drop the building or anything.

The building on a slight angle. More proof we don't know what we are doing, heh. Hopefully the next pics will be of the actual moving of the building.
