I towed my neighbors carport across his driveway, and street to my property
put small wheels on the front and strapped her to the hitch, its redneck as hell

Using the tools at hand to get the job done. Seems smart to me. Why take the hard route.

Not sure I would have thought of that.

was going to use the John Deere lawn tractor but figured it would have a loss of traction on the incline
we all needed a laugh anyway
it was just funny how it all came together. he wanted it moved and i spent hours removing the pita tiedowns then the wiring and a few odd ball things

then i bumped it and it moved free of the ground. so we jacked it up and put wheels on the front and off we went.
i am really going to miss my buddy, aint no way i am going to CT to see him
he didnt want to sell, but a sick adult child forced the move.

A friend of mine did something similar - building move. Their well collapsed and when they had their property surveyed the best spot to put a new one was where a barn was. So he thought about it for a while and ended up rigging up a landscaping trailer to hold the building. I don't recall exactly how he did it, but it was well braced and they were able to lift it high enough to roll easy. It didn't move far - less than 100ft if I recall. The important things were the structure stayed together and the spot where it moved from was clear for the well driller.
