Greenhouse, moved.

It was miserable, it was hard.  We almost lost it.  It's over.  It's been a rough week.The verdict is in: it takes just as long to move it as it does to put it up in the first place; the few places where time is saved, particularly that holes are already drilled and not everything needs to come apart, are cancelled out by the places where it takes more time to undo and redo, like wrestling ribs onto pins that have been twice-pounded.  A nightmare.In theory, a simple series of steps:Undo all the wiggle wire, drop the skin off to one side.Detach end walls and lay them down inside.There's the pile of associated crap- gutters, gutter mounting lumber, baseboards, doors, screen doors, etc etcPull up one side of mounting pins, and drive them again one greenhouse width to the side."Walk" the greenhouse over like a 26 legged spider, dragging the endwalls along with.  Remount on pins.Reskin.  Stand up the endwalls.Do all the wiggle wire, reattach baseboards, doors, etc.A simple series of steps...In my head.Hahaha!  Each step beset by setbacks, unforeseen time-consumers, irritations, and risk of injury.  Miserable.In the space vacated by the greenhouse, the chickens moved right in for a good dirt bath. Least they're having fun.Then came the wind....
