Moving the shed

So like a month ago i got motivated to move a shed i had at my old house to my current house. The shed was originally delivered 13 years ago on a flat bed wrecker. So i called the wrecker company and after a few call backs and appointments, i finally got them to show up with a price quote of $300 to pull it out and take it the 25 minutes to the other house. So they show up and right away “oh, we can’t pull that out with just a flat bed. We need a wrecker as well”. So price went up to $500. Still wayyy cheaper than buying new shed. A few more missed appointments and weather issues and i get them out there with both trucks. Pull it out and ship to house. He gets to house “no way can i get it back there, too much slope, might roll truck and then get stuck on way out”. Ok, unload it, i have access to loader. Shed shits in driveway for a week. Nephew shows up with loader. Get shed strapped and lifted and moving and loader cuts out. It was at yard for alternator replacement and nobody told him. Shed and loader sit in middle of driveway over night. I pull batteries and charge them. Brother arrives next day, install batteries, loader runs and place shed. Follow him back to yard and loader makes it for repair. Started off like “oh ya, no biggie, move old shed. Bing, bang, boom, easy. A month later and it’s finally done Laughing

Go to page 2, there's a tutorial on resizing pictures. Or, you can call me, and I can explain it over the phone. Pictures are best sized for the site at 1000 x 750, for best results.

So the pics display fine on my device. When i open the thread, the entire pic is visible in the thread without having to move the pic around to see it. I’ve experienced seeing the super big pics, as in when like a pic of a bike is posted, all you can see is like the speedo cluster or a small portion of the bike because the pic is so big and you literally have to move the pic around to see different parts of it and you can’t actually see the entire subject of the pic on your screen, only parts of it. That is not the case on my devices with the pics i post.

So the issue here is what are you guys seeing that you think the pics are too big?? Can you see the entire pic on your screen? Not the super big pics i described where you can only see a small portion of the photo because it’s obviously too big??

This pic depicts what i am saying. The pic is large, but you can see the entire pic on your screen

It’s 12’ x 8’. Not big, but big enough for many uses Cool

For example, in the “I got out today” pic thread. The first post on the last page by sixdog of his H2, that pics is huge. You have to move the pic to see the bike.

Place the arrow on the pic, press and hold "Ctrl" and turn the wheel on the mouse. You can enlarge or shrink the pic.
