When looking at the picture of the lawn tractor the parking pad is directly to the right. The garden is off to the left.

In this pic I made over as year ago the garden is off to the left -- the barn is going on the right.

More to come later, but we had some wins and losses today. The barn got moved 50 feet or so which enabled me to move the new solar shed in place and get all of the power hooked up. Unfortunately even after calling a buddy with a truck larger than the Ranger and even a tow truck we couldn't pull it anymore. The skids in the middle of the shed were weak and started pulling away. I will need to wait for the shed guy to move it to its proper place. Disappointed that it didn't happen in one day but this was super, super hard.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have to keep moving forward. The shed is laying cock-eyed out in the field. The worst part about this is I took a bunch of stuff out of the barn and was hiding it behind it. When we moved the barn all of junk got left in the open. I don't want to put it back in the barn because I want to move it as soon as possible. It just makes the field look ugly -- I know it will look much better with the barn moved and all of the junk out of the yard.

That's the problem -- no idea on day or time -- which is what led me to where I am now. He drives up past my land one a week to every other week -- so I am hoping he will come by soon.

Shed mover coming tomorrow around 10 AM. As suspected I will not be home and cannot miss work to help out. I am going to reinforce the skids tonight, leave some instructions, and just let the guy do his thing.

I am tempted to put up one of my IP security cameras so I can watch progress from work. I think that will be fun.
