Today we finally moved the small barns all together. Yesterday Jessie helped us move everything out of the tool barn and the grass hay barn. Today our next door neighbor Tom came over with his big hay squeeze (it can lift 8500 pounds). He picked up each of the barns and moved it aside, then we relocated the eight pier blocks and approximately leveled them. Then Tom dropped the barn back down onto the blocks. The barns are quite a bit higher off the ground now than they were (a good thing, since they will rot more slowly). Tom moved the stack of grass hay in front of the barn door for us, and Jessie loaded the hay back into the barn.
Afterward we had a barbecue. Jessie and his kids (Tiana and Angel) and neighbor Tom and his wife Patty, and Jessie's Mom showed up, with her sister Josephine. We sent Josephine home with some curly grass in a nice pot, and a promise to send her some papyrus when we are thinning it. (She already has a water garden.)
Tom has some narrow gauge railroad stuff, which originally was in a factory. Factories used narrow gauge rail to move stuff around before fork lifts were invented.
