Interesting twist on this project. My daughter and the kids are looking at properties 15 minutes north of Tioga. There are a couple of beautiful parcels with more acreage and nicer homes, maybe even room for a grass strip. If they move, she obviously wants to take this building with them. I'm a bit skeptical about the prospects of putting that 12'x24' building on a flatbed and trucking it to the new location. She assures me that it's doable. I'm just the contractor, that is not my responsibility.
Another milestone this afternoon. Our weather is headed south in a big way for the rest of this week and my union steward says that I don't have to work in freezing rain.........................
I think this project would get a sign off from our wood working Guru Dan, when I left this evening those walls, in every conceivable direction, bubble leveled dead center.

Looking Good! Did you flip the level to make sure it ain't got a skew? There's a story there too!
And Jim, was going to reply. Once the sheeting is on the building it's going to be pretty stiff, if you are gentle it should move just fine. Just move slow and deliberate. And you can use heavy wall 2 or 3 inch PVC pipe as rollers! I know this ambitious young man who lived in Colorado moved a 12 X 24 shed on PVC rollers; got it out of the way, poured a concrete pad with ramp, and rolled it back on the pad. All with PVC pipe, some 2X12 to give the pipe a smooth surface to roll and some 5ft pry bars. Still miss that house and property in Woodland Park, CO; was my favorite home and place to live.

You guys finally got "Bucky's" in Dallas? Their bathrooms are worth a stop even if you don't need gas or snacks! Nice shirt.

I felt like there was something missing............ On a serious note Dan, I'm thinking about using the 4x8' "ZIP" OSB sheets for the exterior. I used them on my office in the hangar and really liked the system. Unfortunately they are now $60 a sheet, but this is no time to show weakness.
Don't you know those 'bird in flight' photographers are gonna love putting the rumored 1200mm lens with 2X converter on a 75-100 mp camera with 250 FPS so they can print a 24x36" photo of an owl's iris?
(I am convinced if it wasn't for the bird guys buying high end gear, it would cost a lot more. Their economies of scale help to keep the prices tolerable!)
edit: To be clear, I appreciate the birding guys devotion to high end gear because their purchases and needs create a profitable reason for camera manufacturers to improve their offerings.
