Moving My Smoking Room

Today we did a long-wished-for project; moving my smoking room into a new position.  I am so impressed with Man's Ingenuity, I have to show you the whole process; hopefully in brief enough to keep your interest.  Boys simply do the coolest things!  Dick and Jeffery created a "wheel-barrow" with large beams and a two-wheel axel.

under the center-panel is the hole-socket for the ball Jeffery attaches to the backhoe bucket

my beaded curtain - a natural leveling device

here he comes to lift it so we can block it up and move it

having blocked the building up, Jeffery gives the backhoe a trailer ball

it's in the air, on the wheels and creaking with motion!

uh-oh!  a bit of tweaking to the left wheel

oh well, move it anyway. 

it moves!  and the tweaked tire is rolling.  Grover was an invaluable helper

uh-oh!  both wheels are really bent, and we still need to push it over into place; a curved path

close up of situation

oh well, move it several different ways until it's in place, despite the warped wheels

what shows now that the room isn't there; we have a large yard!

So there you have it.  After we level it, and spruce it all up a bit more, we'll show you how it turns out.  We aim to attach an outdoor kitchen to the wall facing the viewer.
