The Great Shed Move of 2012

 Our neighbours had a shed that they were keen to get rid of and James has been after a man space nice workshop for awhile now. So, a plan to move a shed was concocted.

 A nice shed pad was built.

 Crane-man finally arrived on the morning of our daughter's first birthday (what else would you be doing on such a day?). We threw a couple of loops around the shed and were ready for lift-off.

 The shed takes flight.

 He turned the shed 90 degrees to sit it on the flatbed truck.

 And then it was a matter of merely driving over to our yard...

Here is some action packed video footage of the shed going down the 'hill' into our yard. 

 Shed just making it between our ponderosa pine and the neighbour's trailer.

 And here it is ready to be lifted off and spun 90 degrees into place.

 Soft landing.
The whole thing took 1.5 hours and went surprisingly smoothly.
