Sometimes there is no way but the hard way -
been there too. :) Where I live there is a friendly hard working
crane operator. He charges $90 an hour. If you
let him pick the time it's done, he would lay it
down there & set it up again here (if it's 50
miles or less) for under $150. And he's good
with advise & actually doing stuff to help you,
not just sit on the seat & yawn. Not everyone is so lucky to have that nearby.
But you might want to ask around. When I moved the 2 3000 bu bins, I had 1
friend that moved a bin before, plus 2 other
guys, and 2 gals. We atarted at 9:00am, had
them both sitting on the ground at my place by
6:00pm. Heck of a deal. The electric impact
wrench was THE tool to have. I rented the bin
jacks from the coop. Another guy came with his son to move his bin
an hour after we started. Couple ladders &
some wrenches - in 30 minutes, they were
watching us - panting. 5 minutes later, the dad
said to his son, "Stay here. Help them. Learn
what they are doing." And he left. Came back
with the same model impact wrench I had. We had a good chuckle over that that evening,
since frankly, we didn't know what we were
doing either. :) --->Paul

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
