on 7/16/2007 I have a shed 12' x 12' (wood) probably 1500 lbs. It was pushed off it's foundation by a truck accident. Part of the foundation was damaged. (Foundation was 8" high)I have to move the shed approx 8 ft. to repair foundation, and then get it back on foundation. Any ideas as to jacking it up-what to roll it off with and how to get it back in place. I forgot to mention it is now sitting on 16" on center floor joist's on grass. I'm new to this site so please excuse errors.
Thank for any ideas. JJ
