What a Tease ! Coop sitting there and can't use it

[GiddyMoon]

I want to see it! I am frustrated too..we have a 10x12 shed sitting on this property..but we rent..I want to use it..I should get the courage up to ask LOL They don't care what we do but it is the better half who is being "chicken"

How did he unload it off his truck? Did he have it on a trailer? Can he come back when it's dry to help move it? If it were me I would say, Hey I'm so thankful for you giving me the pigeon coop. I just can't seem to find a way to move it to the yard. Is there anyway you can come over when it dries up a bit to help get it there? If he says no, at least you exhausted that resource.

couldn't you put some fence posts or logs under it and roll it where you want it?

then it's just a few friends to give you a hand.

Yeap, round posts or logs as rollers; with plywood underneath if necessary. You can do it!

I pulled up just as he got it off the trailer, I think they just dumped it off.....he doesn't own the truck or trailer, I guess he asked his neighbor to bring it with him....I could eventually ask him if he was willing to ask another favor of his neighbor and come back...the ground has been pretty dry and last night it poured all night long and today they decide to bring it

If it's on legs maybe you could just tip it on its side or top and use the posts or logs as rollers.

It was on legs at his house and he cut them off cause they were in cement, so if and when I get it back there Im gonna have to put a couple blocks under it...

Here's my 2 cents:

In January, I moved our inherited 10' x 16' OSB walls and 3/4" plywood floor and roof (HEAVY!!) across wet ground (pretty level ground...) about 100'. It has 7 legs to the ground (I didn't build it, so I don't know why...). The legs are pt 4x6's. I jacked it up and ran 4x4's under the legs, laid scrap pieces of plywood (some pieces were actually old shelves...) on the ground and used the pipes from my pipe clamps that I took apart to work as rollers between the 4x4's and plywood.

It worked so well, once I leaned on it and got it moving, my 6 year old Granddaughter could keep it going!! Turning it 90 degrees was the trickiest part!!

You can get it done if you really want to, (I think)!! Where you at? I'll help if I can...

BEST LUCK!!
