    I helped out moving a one car garage about 60 feet into the backyard. Five of us rolled it on about six 2” steel pipes. It became a luxury shed/shop with a garage door.
    Years ago when I drove heavy wreckers, we were asked to move a large wooden cooling unit that was being replaced with more modern AC units. The unit was in a courtyard at an office complex at anAir Force base. We were given intructions not to damage it.
    The entry into the courtyard was just tall enough to get it out, but not by much. so we used the rolling on pipe method.
    We lifted it a few inches and set it on the first pipe and winched it a couple feet to set then next pipe in place. Repeat. set the next pipe and so on.
    It took most of the day before we got it out and moved to the loacation where they wanted it.
    The funny thing about this story is that the unit we took great care not to damge was then demolished and loaded in a roll off box that could easily have been placed in the courtyard rather than spending a day pulling the old one out.

    Your tax dollars at work.
