Good advice, thanks.
twobjshelbys,
"You will not move this yourself. Don't even think about it." That sounds like a direct order, not advice, thanks for the input.
"Sure hope you got permits for all the other stuff" What other stuff are you talking about, moving a fence? No I did not get permits for that, no need. I once did a 24' X 24' living room addition without permits, house sold fine with full disclosures.
Atascadero chief building inspector: "You don't need permit for slab", then next day: "you will have to provide full engineering calculations for both slab and solar support.
structure". At the counter, he even asked his co worker: " 20' x 30' slab, how many square feet is that, duh, coworker said 600 as I asked: "would you like my calculator?"
I refuse to get permit for moving fence from idiots like that!
Bought a house in Texas on Corpus Christi Bay, both house and pool had dropped 6" on one side each, due to Portland Texas storm drain failure. It was really interesting to watch contractor level the house. The pool, rather than try and level, which would have been nuts, I suggested to contractor, use concrete saw, cut down the high side, tapering to low side, replaced tile. rebuilt deck to match "level" pool, worked great. Several contractors bid to level pool with jacks, etc., seemed nuts to me to even try!
BTW, the storm drain failed again before I moved in, and another time after I moved in and I was living there. since I was retired, I kept a close eye on the third repair, {which city paid contractor to repair his own faulty work} I was their worst nightmare, screamed bloody murder, went to city counsel meetings, gave presentation with 8x10 color photographs projected onto 10' screen, engaged neighbors, etc.,but it got repaired correctly that time, and has not failed since. I put in 35 years in public works, bridges, roads, water treatment plant remodeling, etc. Wrote, and got published in newspaper: Titled: "Somebody ought to put a tent over this circus going on in my side yard."
So if I was really crazy enough to move the shop myself, and believe me I am, I'm confident I could do it with 35 years construction/engineering practice. But, I won't, I'd rather work on Cobras then the shop relocation.
